The episode commences with Bhalla meeting Lakshmi, expressing his enthusiasm about Rishi’s deep affection for her. He elaborates on the numerous ways in which Rishi has praised Lakshmi, highlighting the admiration he holds for her. Despite Rishi’s attempts to intervene and downplay the situation, Bhalla remains steadfast in his assertions, emphasizing the sincerity of Rishi’s feelings. Rano, observing the interaction, interjects to note that it is common knowledge how highly Rishi regards Lakshmi. This remark leads to a brief exchange of banter between Rano and Bhalla, showcasing their contrasting personalities.
As Rano departs, she inadvertently encounters Malishka, who is engaged in a covert activity. Malishka discreetly prepares a glass of juice, mixing in a suspicious substance with the intention of sending it to Lakshmi. At this moment, Balwinder, disguised to maintain anonymity, approaches Malishka. She chooses to ignore him, focusing instead on her objective of locating Shanaya to ensure the juice reaches Lakshmi.
Balwinder persists in his attempts to engage Malishka, inquiring whether she recognizes him. Despite her acknowledgment of his presence, she expresses a clear desire to avoid any interaction with him. In a forceful manner, Balwinder takes hold of Malishka, insisting on accompanying her. Shanaya and Kiran observe this encounter, with Shanaya expressing curiosity about Balwinder’s identity. Kiran, recognizing the need for discretion, assures Shanaya that she will provide an explanation later and follows Malishka and Balwinder.
In a separate scene, Neelam confronts Lakshmi with accusations of attempting to regain Rishi’s attention. She articulates her belief that Lakshmi’s recent actions indicate a reluctance to distance herself from Rishi. Neelam insists that Lakshmi meet her after the party to discuss the matter further.
Meanwhile, Malishka expresses her frustration towards Balwinder for his intrusive behavior. Kiran arrives on the scene, questioning Balwinder about his presence at the gathering. Balwinder responds nonchalantly, stating that he is merely performing his duties and suggests that they should be grateful he has not exposed their secrets. He makes an attempt to take the juice from Malishka, but Shanaya intervenes, taking Malishka away from the situation. Balwinder, intrigued by Shanaya’s presence, comments on her beauty, prompting Kiran to dismiss him curtly.
Elsewhere, Ayush is seen searching for a waiter to deliver drinks to Rishi and Lakshmi. Shalu, curious about Ayush’s drinking habits, inquires if he enjoys alcohol. Ayush reassures her that he prioritizes his health and drinks only occasionally, alleviating her concerns. He soon spots a waiter, bribes him for drinks, and proceeds with his plan.
Shanaya, concerned about the situation with Balwinder, questions Malishka about him, but Malishka deflects the inquiry. Instead, she instructs Shanaya to deliver the tainted juice to Lakshmi. As Shanaya attempts to do so, she unwittingly collides with Rishi, causing the juice to spill onto the floor. Kiran arrives promptly, sensing the tension, and directs Rishi away, claiming that Dadi is calling for him. Shanaya then calls for a waiter to clean up the mess, trying to restore order.
Ayush, determined to get Rishi to drink, approaches him and encourages him to partake in the festivities. However, Rishi declines, citing Lakshmi’s preferences as a reason for his refusal. Ayush playfully teases Rishi, questioning whether he fears Lakshmi’s disapproval. In response, Rishi calls for Shalu, asking her to manage Ayush, and reiterates his decision to avoid actions that would upset Lakshmi.
Meanwhile, Rano and Kiran choose to ignore each other, maintaining a tense atmosphere. Rishi notices Malishka and Shanaya with the drink but decides to overlook them. Shanaya expresses concern about the juice, warning that it could have severe consequences for Lakshmi’s health, including the risk of a miscarriage. Despite her warnings, Malishka insists that Lakshmi should drink the juice, accusing her of disrespecting the hospitality extended to her as a guest. Rishi, along with Ayush and Shalu, begins to question Malishka about the contents of the drink. Malishka defensively responds to their inquiries, expressing indignation at their suspicions. To prove her point, she drinks the juice herself, declaring that they should cease their doubts about her intentions before leaving the scene.
Neelam, observing the unfolding drama, admonishes Lakshmi to refrain from creating unnecessary disturbances within the household, emphasizing the importance of maintaining harmony.
In a private moment, Malishka retreats to her room, where she consumes an antidote, indicating her awareness of the potential consequences of her actions. Kiran checks on her, and Malishka reassures her that she is fine. Shanaya seeks confirmation regarding the antidote, to which Malishka responds affirmatively. At that moment, Balwinder enters the room, asserting that he needs to speak with Malishka. Kiran intervenes, asserting that Malishka has no business with him. Balwinder, smirking, retorts that Malishka cannot speak disrespectfully to her future son-in-law, leaving Shanaya shocked by his revelation.
The episode concludes, leaving viewers with a sense of intrigue and anticipation regarding the unfolding dynamics among the characters.
