The episode opens with Rano voicing her fears to Dadi regarding the nurse’s alarming words. In response, Dadi instructs Neelam to investigate the situation further. After examining Lakshmi, the doctor steps out, and Neelam questions him about her health. He reveals that due to the cold, Lakshmi’s organs have suffered damage, placing her in a critical state and urging the family to pray for her recovery.
Simultaneously, Rishi, Shalu, and Ayush are reviewing the CCTV footage. Ayush expresses confusion over Malishka’s presence, which Rishi and Shalu explain is because she came for a check-up. They notice Lakshmi wearing a doctor’s coat and seemingly searching for something. A nurse remarks that a page was torn from the register, hinting that whoever did this might be responsible for Lakshmi’s condition. They resolve to check the CCTV from the cold storage in the basement. Malishka intercepts them, sharing the news of Lakshmi’s critical state, which pushes them to rush to her ward. She then calls Kiran, instructing her to erase the basement footage. Kiran spots Balwinder heading in that direction and reassures Malishka that she will take care of the situation.
Back with the family, Rishi asks about Lakshmi’s condition. Neelam delivers the grim news that it’s not good. As the doctor reemerges, he emphasizes that Lakshmi is fighting for her life. Inside her room, Lakshmi stirs and whispers Rishi’s name, prompting the nurse to notify the doctor, who allows Rishi to enter. Meanwhile, Shalu seeks answers from Balwinder, but he manages to escape with Kiran’s assistance. Kiran warns Balwinder that they must eliminate the basement footage to safeguard both him and Malishka.
In Lakshmi’s room, Rishi holds her hand, overwhelmed with emotion as he apologizes and blames himself for her condition. The nurse encourages him to stay strong for Lakshmi’s sake. Rishi reassures Lakshmi of her recovery and urges her to fight. Just as she seems about to share something important—potentially regarding her pregnancy—she loses consciousness. Anxiously, Rishi calls for the doctor, who quickly checks on Lakshmi and insists he must leave the room. Reluctantly, Rishi complies but expresses his longing to remain by her side. Neelam chastises him for disregarding medical advice. Consumed by guilt, Rishi confesses to Rano and Ayush that Lakshmi is his life, and he feels like he has failed to protect her. Moved by his deep love for Lakshmi, Rano fervently prays for her recovery.
The episode concludes with the tension high as fears for Lakshmi’s life persist.
