The episode opens with Adit prompting a young boy to express his gratitude to a kind lady who has just helped him. The boy nods in agreement, a shy smile crossing his face as he prepares to thank her. Meanwhile, in a nearby conversation, one individual informs another that Kapil will not be attending the event as planned; instead, his representative will be judging the participants. Adit, standing close by, overhears this unsettling news, his expression shifting to concern.
Shortly after, Sowmya calls Adit, eager to find out what has transpired. Adit shares the disappointing update regarding Kapil’s absence, explaining the situation. Sowmya, frustrated and upset, lashes out at him, attributing their misfortune to his bad luck. She expresses her dissatisfaction, declaring that their efforts have been a waste of time and money, yielding no returns. Adit, taken aback by her harsh words, questions why she is shouting, especially considering her current illness. Sowmya, feeling a mix of sympathy and frustration, responds that her sickness only amplifies her concern for him. She abruptly tells him she will call later and hangs up, leaving Adit feeling unsettled.
As the scene shifts, Mangal receives a list from the manager detailing the attendees who have come to present their business ideas. Glancing over the lengthy list, Mangal feels overwhelmed, pondering how she can possibly shortlist the numerous proposals. Realizing the significance of the opportunity for many hopeful entrepreneurs who have traveled from across India, she decides that she must inform Kapil about her inability to make a decision without him.
Stepping aside, Mangal calls Kapil, expressing her concerns about the overwhelming number of ideas and her struggle to determine which ones are the best. Kapil, on the other end of the line, encourages her, assuring her of her capabilities and urging her to believe in herself. He reassures her that she can manage the situation effectively until he arrives. However, as he speaks, he lies about being busy at the hospital, secretly thinking that this challenge will help Mangal gain the confidence she needs.
Meanwhile, Pratima enters the room and notices Kapil smiling during his conversation. Curious, she asks who he was speaking to, and Kapil casually replies that it was Mangal. Intrigued, Pratima begins to plot a matchmaking strategy between the two, sensing a potential connection.
In a moment of frustration, Adit confronts the manager, expressing his anger over the fact that they came to meet Kapil, not his representative. His irritation boils over as he storms out, feeling a sense of betrayal.
Back at the event, Mangal returns to her stall, only to hear from the manager about a participant who had argued over Kapil’s absence. She advises him to let it go, trying to maintain a calm atmosphere despite the rising tensions. Just then, Mangal and Adit, unaware of each other’s presence, notice a young boy in a precarious situation. Without hesitation, they rush to save him, demonstrating their instinctive kindness. Mangal successfully helps the boy reunite with his worried mother, showcasing her nurturing nature.
Later, Mangal attempts to call her home phone, hoping to hear Kusum’s familiar voice, but is met with an automated message stating that the service is unavailable. Concerned, she tries calling Ishana, only to be informed by an unfamiliar voice that it is not Ishana’s number. A wave of unease washes over Mangal as she begins to worry about her children and Kusum. Determined to check on them, she resolves to travel to Delhi that same day and plans to discuss her concerns with Kapil.
As the day progresses, Mangal submits her list of selected candidates at the investor event. Kapil reviews her work and praises her for doing an excellent job, a smile of approval lighting up his face. However, Mangal seizes the moment to remind him of a promise he made—specifically, that she could stay in Jaipur for six months. She informs him that this period has now come to an end, and she wishes to return to Delhi.
Kapil, taken aback by her sudden desire to leave, questions her motivations. He probes into her restlessness, asking if she is hiding something from him. Mangal stands before him, tense and silent, caught between her feelings for Kapil and her responsibilities back home. The air is thick with unspoken words and unresolved emotions as the episode draws to a close.
