Balwinder, always dramatic, finds himself spiraling into paranoia after suspecting that Lakshmi orchestrated a medical test against him. He is convinced that he has been injected with something mysterious, pushing his anxiety to new heights. Meanwhile, Rishi and Ayush unexpectedly run into Lakshmi and Shalu at the hospital. The coincidence immediately raises their suspicions. When Rishi questions Lakshmi about her whereabouts, she fabricates a story, claiming she never visited the mall and came straight to the hospital instead. However, Rishi’s instincts tell him she’s lying, and Ayush pressures Shalu to come clean. Instead of clarifying, Shalu subtly deflects the responsibility back to Lakshmi.
Balwinder, growing increasingly paranoid, clutches his arm and pieces together the conspiracy puzzle in his mind. He suspects Lakshmi is out to expose him—especially his secret dealings with Malishka. Meanwhile, Rishi confronts Lakshmi again, demanding honesty. Lakshmi admits she wasn’t truthful, but stops short of revealing the entire truth. This revelation makes Shalu anxious—she worries that Lakshmi might prematurely spill the Malishka-Balwinder connection.
Shalu jumps in to divert attention, claiming she was experiencing pre-wedding jitters and fell sick, which is why Lakshmi rushed her to the hospital. She convinces Lakshmi to support this explanation, successfully covering up Balwinder’s involvement. Lakshmi, however, still feels the urge to disclose something crucial to Rishi.
Ayush expresses his concern for Shalu, finding her sudden panic uncharacteristic. Meanwhile, Lakshmi secretly plots to take Rishi’s blood sample for a DNA test to prove he isn’t the father of Malishka’s child. In an amusing moment, Rishi misinterprets her actions as a romantic advance when she prevents him from leaving. He warmly embraces her, enjoying the moment.
Elsewhere, Anushka, enraged after seeing Ayush, attempts to intervene, but Neil stops her from making a scene. She confesses that Ayush is her life and she wants him back, pushing Neil further into distress. Meanwhile, Rishi playfully calls Lakshmi “naughty” and questions her intentions. Lakshmi humorously pretends to be interested in nursing and taking blood samples. Rishi finds it odd, but allows her to proceed. As she extracts his blood, he winces in pain but assures her he can endure anything for her.
Shalu stumbles upon Lakshmi and Rishi in an awkward moment. She quickly fabricates another cover story, claiming Lakshmi collected his blood for donation. Rishi, puzzled, reminds Lakshmi that he already donated blood earlier. This new revelation leaves Lakshmi apologetic.
Back in the hospital corridors, Ayush finds himself entangled in another moment of jealousy when a stranger approaches Shalu and requests her number. Ayush swiftly claims Shalu as his fiancée and even invites the man to their wedding, leaving Shalu amused. Anushka witnesses this interaction and grows jealous, vowing to reclaim Ayush. Neil tries to talk her down, but she furiously declares her intent to marry Ayush and eliminate Shalu.
Lakshmi later learns from an elderly nurse that Rishi’s blood sample was already available. She feels guilty for troubling him unnecessarily and decides to return home to await the DNA test results. During their departure, Rishi interacts with a charming little boy, who innocently asks him for a chocolate. The boy’s adorable nature makes Rishi burst into laughter, and Lakshmi feels happiness watching Rishi’s joyful demeanor.
In a heartfelt exchange, Rishi confesses that he wants a child with Lakshmi, not Malishka. His emotions take over as he yearns for their shared future. Meanwhile, Balwinder regains consciousness and tries to recall what happened to him. Realizing he is still in danger, he rushes out of the ward.
Rishi apologizes to Lakshmi for the misunderstandings between them. Though she doesn’t fully disclose the truth, she reassures him that everything will eventually become clear. She comforts him, reminding him that their wishes might come true in time. As they share an emotional moment, Lakshmi remains firm in her plan—she must wait for the DNA reports before taking the next step.
