Rishi, convinced by misleading evidence, orders Lakshmi to pack her bags and leave. He coldly offers to help her, but Lakshmi refuses, asserting her dignity and telling him he’ll need help when he realizes his mistake. Shalu begs Rishi to stop Lakshmi, but he remains silent and angry, lashing out by throwing furniture. Malishka, pleased by Rishi’s support, watches as Lakshmi begins packing.
Despite Shalu’s pleas, Lakshmi refuses to stay, heartbroken that Rishi didn’t trust her, even after everything she endured to share the news of their child. She says she can’t live where there’s no trust. As Lakshmi walks out with her luggage, Rishi watches her in silence, torn but unwilling to stop her. Lakshmi believes appearances can be deceiving, while Rishi feels forced to let her go. Neelam, siding with Rishi, tells Lakshmi to leave. Lakshmi exits, and Rishi breaks down in tears.
Lakshmi and Shalu arrive at Rano’s house. When Rano questions them, Lakshmi deflects by saying they’re there for Shalu’s wedding. Shalu, however, tells the truth—Rishi and Lakshmi had a fight. Rano hopes they reconcile soon. Seeing Lakshmi in pain, Shalu comforts her, while Rishi, equally heartbroken, is consoled by Ayush.
Rishi pretends he’s unaffected but admits feeling betrayed, believing Lakshmi tried to harm Malishka and her unborn child. Ayush defends Lakshmi, urging Rishi to look past the CCTV footage and trust her character. Unbeknownst to them, Malishka overhears their conversation.
Meanwhile, Anushka reveals to Kiran that she played a key role in the plan against Lakshmi. When Kiran accuses her of blackmail, Anushka demands something in return—Malishka must help her remove Shalu from Ayush’s life so she can marry him instead. Malishka agrees, promising to help break Ayush and Shalu’s relationship. Anushka is thrilled.
As Malishka and Anushka celebrate their success in driving a wedge between Rishi and Lakshmi, Lakshmi breaks down, haunted by Rishi and Neelam’s harsh words. Shalu, equally heartbroken, holds her sister close, sharing her pain.
The episode ends.
