The episode opens with Gudiya revealing to Mannat that, based on her investigation, Sonia is dead. Mannat is taken aback and asks how that’s possible, urgently needing Gudiya’s help to save her mother. Gudiya insists it’s true, explaining that Sonia had been living in Dubai and even went so far as to change her identity. This prompts Mannat to ask Gudiya to dig deeper and uncover the truth, as she grows increasingly worried about her mother.
Meanwhile, Aishwarya is preoccupied with the idea that Gagan hasn’t noticed the ring she’s wearing. While Gagan is distracted on an important phone call, Aishwarya throws the ring into the dustbin, recalling how Shruti had gifted it to her in celebration of her first salary. She feels a sense of shame about her past and is determined to keep it hidden from others, especially as she fears Shruti may expose her identity to her family.
In another part of the story, Boby visits Mezbani, where he praises Vikrant for the excellent arrangements at the restaurant. His compliments seem to frustrate Puneet, who decides to leave the scene. Vikrant downplays his role, but Boby insists on advocating for Puneet, asking Vikrant to help guide him away from the wrong path, especially after Puneet’s mistakes in London.
As they converse, Mannat learns about a letter-writing competition celebrating Mother’s Day, with the theme centered around the bond between mothers and children. Inspired, she begins to write a heartfelt letter to her own mother.
Meanwhile, Puneet, irritated by Boby’s praise of Vikrant, pushes back, insisting that Vikrant is nothing special. Boby retorts, reminding Puneet that he is living in his house without the means to argue back and advising him to recognize Vikrant’s value. Boby warns Puneet against judging his father’s alliances, expressing his command over maintaining those relationships.
Frustrated with the situation, Puneet plots against Mannat and Vikrant, calling Aishwarya to inform her of his plans. Aishwarya, dubious about the day’s events, mentions being invited as the chief guest at a celebration she deems cheap. When she arrives, a fortune teller ominously predicts that Aishwarya’s dark past will be revealed today. Dismissive of such predictions, she brushes it off. Harneet sees Aishwarya and alerts Shruti to stay near their shop.
In a twist of fate, Rajendran announces Mannat’s letter as the winning entry, but Mannat has left her name out of it. This shocking revelation leads Aishwarya to realize that her daughter is alive, intensifying the drama as the episode draws to a close.
