The episode opens with Anushka confronting Shalu, demanding to know how she dared to raise a hand against her. Shalu retorts that Anushka deserves it and warns her that if anything happens to Ayush, she will make her pay. Anushka responds with a taunt, and Shalu counters by saying Anushka will never understand her bond with Ayush. Anushka boldly declares that she will do whatever it takes to keep Shalu and Ayush apart. In defiance, Shalu asserts that Anushka will not succeed in breaking their connection. Anushka issues a stern warning for Shalu to sever her ties with Ayush, or else Ayush will face the consequences. Unwavering, Shalu responds that Anushka can’t intimidate her and vows to stand by Ayush no matter what.
Meanwhile, Rishi is driving with Malishka, his mind preoccupied with thoughts of Ayush. Malishka tells him that if he doesn’t want to be with her, she doesn’t want him to stay out of obligation. She reminds him that he already knows how she feels about Lakshmi, but she asks him to be present for her when she needs him, claiming he’s free to do as he wishes otherwise. Rishi then expresses his concern about Ayush and asks Lakshmi if they can go to the hospital. Malishka agrees.
At the hospital, Lakshmi spots a pregnant woman who is feeling thirsty and offers her water. The woman, mistaking Lakshmi for an expectant mother, offers her a mango. Her husband quickly clarifies that Lakshmi is not pregnant, explaining that she must have assumed so since Lakshmi is at the hospital. Lakshmi accepts a piece of mango before moving on.
As Rishi walks through the hospital, he accidentally bumps into Lakshmi, causing her to stumble. He catches her just in time, and they share a moment of nostalgia, recalling the spark from their initial meeting before parting ways again.
Meanwhile, Shalu encounters Malishka. Curiously, Malishka asks what Shalu is doing there and quickly fabricates a reason for her own presence. Shalu comments on Malishka’s behavior, prompting a defensive response where Malishka asserts that Shalu doesn’t know who she really is. Shalu confidently counters that she knows exactly who Malishka is and accuses her of intending to hurt Lakshmi, especially after the recent incident on Lohri. Fed up, Shalu walks away, leaving a furious Malishka plotting her revenge.
Later, Rishi questions Lakshmi about whether she plans to leave him. Taken aback, Lakshmi asks what prompted his inquiry. Rishi explains that he felt a spark between them, a sensation reserved for special moments, whether after a long separation or just before a departure. Concerned, he repeats his question, inquiring again if she is indeed leaving him. Lakshmi, puzzled by his words, expresses confusion and apologizes for any misunderstanding.
Just then, a nurse approaches Rishi, announcing that Ayush is ready to go home. Overjoyed at the news of Ayush’s safety, Rishi breaks into a smile. Shalu overhears and feels relief wash over her, happily embracing Lakshmi and expressing her hope that Shalu will always find happiness.
Later, Ayush returns home to a warm welcome from his family, who insist that he needs to rest. He thanks Karishma, expressing gratitude for her care, to which she affectionately responds that her love for him is immeasurable. Harleen joins them and teases Ayush for thanking his own family, lightly slapping him as a reminder that gratitude isn’t necessary among loved ones.
As Shalu prepares to leave, Ayush calls her to stay a little longer.
