The episode begins with Devansh noticing Vasudha’s mangalsutra and inquiring about her marriage, recognizing it as something familiar. Vasudha, overwhelmed with emotion, begins to cry. Devansh, feeling guilty, admits he has made her cry and reflects on being a bad person for causing Chandrika pain. He expresses the need to apologize to her, and Vasudha offers to accompany him.
Chandrika suggests to Karishma that they head inside. Karishma, sensing she missed a golden opportunity, remains behind. Chandrika then spots a bottle of alcohol, leading Karishma to remark that she saw someone drinking. Prabhat questions how anyone could access the mansion given its tight security, prompting Chandrika to tell the guards to locate the drunken intruder.
Avinash arrives, pretending to be intoxicated. Chandrika scolds him for breaking his promise to stay away from alcohol. He claims that his sadness over the conflict between Chandrika and Devansh drove him to drink, asking what harm he did by seeking solace in alcohol. In frustration, Chandrika slaps him, prompting Avinash to request another slap in exchange for forgiveness for Devansh. Upset, Chandrika declares she doesn’t want to see her son’s face and retreats inside. The others follow her, leaving Karishma and Avinash.
Karishma confronts Avinash, revealing that she knows he is feigning drunkenness to protect Devansh. She mentions witnessing a drunk Devansh as well. Avinash insists it’s irrelevant to what she saw, vowing to do whatever it takes to safeguard his brother and thwart Karishma’s schemes. After she enters the mansion, Divya observes the exchange.
Earlier, Avinash had seen Divya and offered to drop her off. Spotting Devansh with Vasudha, he asked Divya to wait while he attended to matters. Presently, Karishma vows to show her power over both Devansh and Avinash.
Vasudha takes Devansh to his room, where he insists on speaking to Chandrika. She explains that Chandrika is likely asleep and suggests he wait until the morning. Devansh continues to insist that he won’t sleep without seeing her. As they talk, Vasudha notices her mangalsutra caught in Devansh’s shirt, leading him to question why she hadn’t mentioned her marriage during their friendship. She gently urges him to get some rest. As he murmurs into slumber, she resolves to do everything in her power to reunite Chandrika and Devansh before leaving.
Chandrika approaches Mayur, entrusting him with the meeting scheduled for the next day, expressing doubt about Avinash’s ability to handle it. Karishma barges in, claiming that Avinash pretended to be drunk to shield Devansh. Chandrika rebukes her for making such accusations against Devansh, defending his character. Karishma argues that Devansh has changed, prompting Chandrika to instruct Mayur to check on him.
Mayur heads to Devansh’s room, quickly deducing that Devansh is indeed drunk. He covers for him, telling Chandrika that Devansh is merely fatigued from exhaustion.
Divya acknowledges Avinash’s dedication to family and proposes they become friends. Delighted, Avinash agrees, shaking hands with her.
Meanwhile, Vasudha watches a reality show and hatches an idea. She rushes to the mansion to share it with Avinash, who mentions his growing feelings for Divya. She reminds him of his engagement to Karishma, to which he responds that he is ready to accept whatever fate brings him, believing Divya might be part of that fate. She then suggests that they leverage the reality show opportunity to resolve the issues between Chandrika and Devansh. Avinash agrees enthusiastically.
The episode ends.
