The episode opens with Teerth urgently asking the doctor to ensure that the DNA sample is kept safe, fearing it might be tampered with. Just as the doctor steps out of the lab, Gulshan sneaks in, intent on swapping the sample to manipulate the results. Suman also arrives with similar intentions but spots Gulshan.
Meanwhile, Vikram faces his father’s anger for prioritizing Suman over his political ambitions. Initially, they intended to use Suman for their own political gain, but Vikram has developed genuine feelings for her, making it difficult for him to let her go. His father reminds him that Suman’s heart belongs to Teerth Mittal, but Vikram refuses to accept this.
Devika steps into the scene to confront Vikram, fully aware of his weaknesses. She understands that if the DNA report confirms Rishi as Teerth’s son, it will ruin Vikram’s chances of winning Suman’s heart. However, Vikram remains unconvinced that Rishi is indeed Teerth’s child.
In a sudden burst of courage, Suman grabs a pan and attacks Gulshan, knocking him unconscious. Once he is out, she swaps Rishi’s sample with another. After Suman leaves, Teerth and Akhil arrive and catch Gulshan red-handed. Initially, Teerth believes Suman attempted to tamper with the evidence, but the sight of a subdued Gulshan leaves him confused. Akhil quickly realizes that Devika sent Gulshan to destroy the sample.
Back at home, Teerth confronts Devika about her malicious actions. He accuses her of destroying not only his life but now targeting Rishi as well. Devika vehemently denies the allegation. Suddenly, Akhil brings Gulshan into the dining hall, and Devika pales at his appearance. Teerth delivers a stern warning, telling her to stay away from his son, or he will ruin her family. Devika boldly accepts the challenge.
Chandrakant and Gitanjali Devi stand firm against Devika’s threats, prepared to fight back against her malice. The Mittal family has endured too much torment from Devika and refuses to be intimidated any longer. Guru tries to remind Teerth to respect his elders, but Teerth brushes him off, insisting that Guru has never supported the family and is simply blind to their struggles.
Suman makes the decision to send Rishi away to another hostel to protect him from Teerth’s interference. Knowing that Teerth has tried everything to prove Rishi as his legitimate son, Suman believes it’s safer for Rishi to be sent to Bhoomi. Despite Hema and Malini warning her of the possible repercussions, Suman stands firm in her choice.
