The episode begins with a heated confrontation between Vikrant and Mannat. Vikrant, visibly frustrated, shouts at Mannat for her stubbornness, questioning whether she has lost her sense of judgment. Mannat, standing her ground, insists that she is not being stubborn. Vikrant challenges her, asking if she prefers to associate with bad people, and when Mannat agrees to leave, he becomes even more agitated. He reminds her that he tried to call the police after hearing her explanation about Bobby, but Raveena intervened, warning him against making a hasty decision. Vikrant accuses Mannat of being too stubborn and trying to frame him for something he did not do.
Mannat, unwavering, asserts that she is speaking the truth. She reveals her belief that Boby is hiding his true nature behind a facade of innocence, declaring him a terrible person who molested Shalini. She argues that the chain she found is not solid evidence; it’s merely a copy. Mannat expresses her determination to fight against anyone who opposes her, vowing to prove that Bobby is indeed the culprit. She emphasizes that his actions were not just a mistake but a sin that deserves punishment, and with that, she storms out, leaving Vikrant fuming.
Meanwhile, Roni, who has been observing the exchange, feels a pang of guilt for not supporting Mannat. He reflects on her words, realizing that she was telling the truth, but he hesitated to back her up for the sake of his son. Neetu, noticing Roni’s turmoil, questions why he didn’t allow Mannat to speak her mind during the confrontation. Roni snaps at her to be quiet, insisting that everything he did was for Vikrant’s sake.
Neetu, perplexed, asks him what he means. She points out that she gifted the chain to Bobby on his 25th anniversary—one for him and one for Raveena—implying that Mannat’s claims hold weight. She presses Roni, asking if he believes that Bobby could have molested Shalini. Roni urges her to stay silent, conflicted about the situation.
As Mannat returns home, she is overwhelmed with heartbreak, reflecting on how Vikrant ignored her pleas and chose to support the wrong people. She had hoped that Vikrant would be different, that he would stand up for what is right. Tears stream down her face as she cries out in despair, feeling isolated in her fight for justice.
Back at the house, Neetu confronts Roni about whether he knew the truth all along. Roni nods, revealing that when he learned the truth, he attempted to call the police, but Raveena threatened him regarding Vikrant. Neetu presses him about his connection to the situation, and Roni explains that Raveena threatened to expose the truth about Aman to Vikrant, leaving him torn between protecting his son and revealing the truth. Neetu, equally protective of her son, asserts that she cannot let Vikrant discover the truth about his past, especially that she isn’t his biological mother.
Roni expresses disbelief that Bobby could have molested Shalini, especially in an intoxicated state. He recalls how Bobby often got angry when drunk but never imagined he would stoop so low. Roni admits that while Mannat was telling the truth, he failed to support her when it mattered most. Neetu shares her frustration, stating that she would have called the police if Raveena hadn’t threatened them. She emphasizes that her son’s safety is her top priority, and under no circumstances can she allow Vikrant to learn the truth about his origins.
As the tension mounts, Vikrant enters, misinterpreting the conversation between his parents as concern for the family’s reputation. He reassures them that he will not let anything happen to their family, declaring his intention to fight against Mannat. Neetu hands Vikrant some medicine, trying to keep him calm amidst the chaos.
Later, the scene shifts to Shalini and her brother, who are being threatened by a goon. Mannat arrives just in time, demanding the goon leave them alone or she will call the police. The goon relays this information to Aishwarya, who is clearly displeased. In a moment of empowerment, Mannat motivates Shalini, urging her to fight for justice and reminding her that Bobby is the true culprit.
However, Aishwarya confronts Mannat, demanding that she pay a hefty rent of 20,000 and resign from her job, putting Mannat in a difficult position. The episode concludes with Mannat caught in a dilemma, torn between her fight for justice and the mounting pressures around her.
