The episode opens with Rishi expressing his anguish to Ayush about Lakshmi’s condition, unable to bear seeing her like this. Despite her struggles, Lakshmi tells him not to cry, which further intensifies Rishi’s emotions. He pleads with Neelam to help Lakshmi before leaving the room, followed by Daadi, who attempts to console him.
In a parallel scene, Balwinder and Kiran sneak into the basement’s CCTV room. Balwinder suddenly hears a noise, and Kiran insists they should steal the hard drive. Curious, Balwinder steps out to investigate and finds Shalu calling out to him from behind a mirror. Panic sets in, causing him to rush back into the room.
Aanchal and the others decide to call the police to apprehend the intruder. Aanchal tells Neelam that Lakshmi means everything to Rishi, emphasizing the urgency of the situation. Balwinder, overhearing them, warns Kiran and makes a quick escape through a window, while Kiran hastily hides the hard drive. Shalu enters the room in search of Balwinder, and during this, Karishma pressures Neelam to send Lakshmi away from the Oberoi house, arguing that her presence is detrimental to Ayush as well. Neelam, though reluctant, concedes to this demand. Meanwhile, Rishi fervently prays for Lakshmi’s well-being.
The doctor examines Lakshmi’s reports and informs the nurse that she is pregnant, declaring it good news. Amidst this, Malishka and Neelam try to comfort Rishi, but he chastises Malishka, saying she cannot comprehend true love since she has never truly loved anyone. Hurt and offended, Malishka retorts angrily and storms off.
After Shalu leaves the CCTV room, Kiran comes out from his hiding spot, but Shalu hears something and suspects someone is still inside. Locking the door, she calls Ayush to inform him that she believes she has identified the culprit and requests his help in the basement. Kiran listens in on their conversation from within the room.
At the same time, the nurse checks the hallway but finds it empty. She spots Malishka and lets her know that both Lakshmi and her baby are doing well, which frustrates Malishka.
Ayush soon arrives to meet Shalu. They enter the CCTV room with hopes of catching Balwinder but discover it empty, realizing that Kiran has already escaped through the window. Though disappointed, Ayush encourages Shalu not to give up hope. They attempt to check the CCTV footage, but the power suddenly goes out. Concerned about upsetting the hospital staff, Shalu suggests they leave.
Later, Malishka sneaks into Lakshmi’s room, angrily confronting her about being a barrier between her and Rishi. She threatens to harm Lakshmi and her baby, admitting to having locked herself in cold storage to frame Lakshmi, insisting that Rishi is hers alone. In a moment of aggression, Malishka grabs a pillow to suffocate Lakshmi, but Rishi walks in just in time and catches her in the act. When he questions her actions, Malishka quickly fabricates a lie, claiming she was merely adjusting the pillow. Rishi tells her not to worry, assuring her that he will handle the situation.
The episode concludes.
