The episode begins with Kiran informing Malishka that Varsha has stolen the necklace. Kiran emphasizes that it’s time to proceed with their plan. Malishka agrees, stating they need to convince everyone that they genuinely require the necklace and are determined to retrieve it.
Kiran approaches Neelam, Karishma, and Aanchal, mentioning Malishka’s distress over the necklace. Karishma inquires why Malishka is so concerned. Kiran explains that Malishka believes she’s facing all these problems because she removed the necklace, and now she desperately wants to wear it again. Aanchal and Kiran decide to fetch the necklace.
Meanwhile, Rishi tells Lakshmi that the seven Pheres are complete. He retrieves the sindoor box, declaring that she will be the only one permitted to apply sindoor with his name attached.
In a tense corner, Anushka regains consciousness and realizes she needs to escape immediately. As Rishi applies sindoor to Lakshmi’s hairline, she becomes emotional. Rishi vows to earn back Lakshmi’s trust and requests another chance. Shalu and the others applaud them, with Rishi and Lakshmi seeking blessings from Harleen and later Rano.
Anushka, realizing her door is locked, recognizes the urgency of her situation. She tries calling Neel, but a weak signal frustrates her attempts.
Elsewhere, Ayush asks Shalu to accompany him. When she questions him about their destination, Ayush insists she trust him, and they go together to take Pheres around the Lohri fire.
Anushka fears that capture could lead to dire consequences. She attempts to call Neel again, and when he finally answers, she reveals she’s trapped in a room. Neel asks for her location, and she gives him directions to Rishi’s room.
Karishma notices Ayush and questions his intentions. He explains that he’s participating in the Pooja with Shalu, prompting Karishma to check if he understands what he’s doing. Shalu urges Ayush not to cause a scene. Ayush points out that this is exactly what they want and stands firm. The priest interjects, advising Karishma to allow them to continue the Pooja, as halting it would bring bad luck to both Ayush and Shalu.
Meanwhile, Neel arrives at Rishi’s room, skillfully unlocking the door and whisking Anushka away. Kiran, seeing Varsha with the necklace, feels a wave of relief as she takes Aanchal to retrieve it.
Neelam approaches the priest, puzzled by his remarks, but the priest asserts that he speaks the truth. Since they’ve commenced the Pooja, it must be completed. Hearing this, Karishma and Neelam relent and permit Ayush and Shalu to finish.
Aanchal and Kiran reach Rishi’s room, only to find the space in complete disarray. Kiran informs Aanchal that the necklace has been stolen.
Anushka panics at the thought that the Oberoi family might notify the authorities. Neel quickly contacts his friend Pankaj, inquiring about inspector attire. Pankaj confirms he has it and Neel shares their plan through a text. Anushka asks Neel about his intentions, to which he replies that he’s seeking revenge against the Oberoi family and urges her to trust him.
Back at the Lohri celebration, Ayush asks the priest if the seven Pheres are finished, and the priest affirms they are. Shalu asks what Ayush plans to do next, and he indicates that he should have taken action long ago.
The episode concludes with a sense of suspense as intentions become clearer and alliances begin to shift.
