The episode opens with Garimacharya contemplating the arrival of Malishka and Kiran, believing it to be an inauspicious sign. She regrets not disclosing Lakshmi’s pregnancy to Neelam, feeling she might have spoken up if only Lakshmi hadn’t intervened.
Garimacharya then encounters Lakshmi, who apologizes for her earlier behavior. Garimacharya reassures her that she did nothing wrong and encourages her not to worry. Lakshmi opens up about the various challenges she faces, and Garimacharya reminds her that she has a tendency to shoulder the burdens of her loved ones, which is why the Goddess favors her. When Garimacharya asks if Lakshmi has ever felt like giving up, Lakshmi confidently states that she never has, prompting Garimacharya to declare that it makes her God’s favorite child.
Later, Garimacharya expresses her desire to tell Neelam about Lakshmi’s pregnancy, but Lakshmi begs her not to. When Garimacharya inquires why, Lakshmi reveals that Malishka is pregnant with Rishi’s child and has chosen her own path. Understanding this, Garimacharya agrees to Lakshmi’s wishes.
Despite this, Garimacharya grapples with the decision to reveal the truth about both Malishka’s and Lakshmi’s pregnancies to Neelam. She turns to the Goddess in prayer for guidance.
Meanwhile, the Oberoi family is on edge about Ayush’s condition as doctors and nurses rush in and out of the operating theatre, offering no updates. In an attempt to see her brother, Shalu sneaks into the operating room, but the doctor quickly sends her away, warning of the risk of infection. Shalu reluctantly complies.
Later, a nurse informs the family that Ayush’s condition is critical and urges them to pray for his recovery.
Elsewhere, Rishi confronts Malishka about her unannounced visit. He informs her that he could have brought her in the next day after Ayush had returned home. Rishi expresses his intent to speak with Garimacharya about Ayush’s condition, but both Malishka and Kiran attempt to dissuade him with excuses. Ignoring their pleas, Rishi insists on meeting Garimacharya. In an effort to deter him, Malishka pretends to feel unwell, prompting Rishi to worry and decide to take her to the hospital. Meanwhile, Kiran steps away to take a call from Abhay.
At the temple, Shalu prays fervently to the Goddess, asking for Ayush’s safety and suspecting that Anushka might be responsible for his critical state.
In a jail cell, Anushka confronts Neel and blames him for her situation, leading to a heated argument. Neel warns her that provoking him could have unforeseen consequences. Anushka pretends to be frightened, just as the police transfer Neel to a different cell.
While driving, Rishi once again questions Malishka about her visit to Garimacharya. She claims it was out of concern for Ayush, hoping to gain the Goddess’s blessings for him. Rishi probes her sincerity, which offends Malishka. She requests that he stop the car and feigns hurt over his suspicions, further fabricating her illness. Concerned, Rishi goes to fetch her some water, but when he returns, Malishka takes a sip and continues to act upset.
Later, the doctor informs Neelam that Ayush is now stable. Lakshmi eagerly asks if Ayush can be discharged, but the doctor hesitantly indicates that he will consider it.
Towards the end of the episode, Shalu pays a visit to Anushka in the police station, and upon seeing her, delivers a hard slap.
