Harleen enters the kitchen and engages in conversation with Deepika and Vaishali. Vaishali questions Harleen’s decision to send RV to drop Khushi off, suggesting she could have chosen someone else. Harleen explains that she wanted RV and Khushi to go together so that Khushi would understand RV is married, and that his wife is her sister, Purvi. Deepika warns Harleen about Khushi’s strong influence on RV, saying that Khushi can manipulate situations to her advantage. Harleen acknowledges that while Khushi might evoke RV’s feelings, she trusts that he will assert his love for Purvi. Deepika challenges Harleen, asking how she can be so certain. Harleen responds that she is simply observing the dynamics at play. Deepika then asks if Harleen is content with this situation, to which Harleen replies that she is not. Deepika suggests that Harleen should talk to RV about considering Monisha. Harleen leaves, and Vaishali tells Deepika that they need to confront harsh truths, even when they are difficult to accept.
Later, Khushi arrives home and reflects on her encounter with RV. Armaan approaches her and demands to know the nature of her relationship with RV. When Khushi protests, Armaan argues back, brandishing a photo of Khushi asking RV to put sindoor in her hair. He threatens to reveal the truth to Purvi if she doesn’t come clean. In a move of desperation, Armaan restrains Khushi with duct tape and forces her into his car.
Meanwhile, Deepika visits Monisha and relays what Harleen has said about RV’s love for Purvi. Deepika expresses her belief that Harleen understands RV better than he knows himself, and thinks RV truly loves Purvi. Monisha then shares with Deepika that Purvi challenged her to throw her out of the house within 24 days. Deepika reacts with disdain towards Purvi and encourages Monisha to take decisive action to expel Purvi before she can act against them. Monisha agrees to do whatever it takes.
RV returns home, and Purvi notices his troubled demeanor. When she asks him what’s wrong, RV expresses his surprise that she can tell he’s upset. Purvi reassures him that they live together and that she’s attuned to his feelings. RV confides that he feels understood only by her and asks Purvi to prepare him something to eat since he is hungry.
In a darker turn, Monisha confronts Dushyant and instructs him to eliminate Purvi. Dushyant, angered by this revelation, immediately agrees to her ruthless request.
The episode concludes on this tense note.
