The episode opens with Ayush searching for Shalu and finding her. Determined to share his feelings, Ayush prepares to speak to Shalu.
Meanwhile, Lakshmi reflects on recent events and sees Shalu crying alone. Realizing that everyone seems to have accepted Rishi and Malishka’s relationship, Lakshmi decides to prioritize Shalu’s needs. She approaches Shalu and asks her to gather wooden logs for the Pooja. Shalu agrees, and Lakshmi asks Ayush to accompany her. Ayush readily agrees, and the two set off together.
In another part of the house, Malishka complains to Kiran about her necklace feeling too heavy. Kiran insists that the expensive necklace should not be removed, leading to an argument where Malishka accuses her mother of valuing the necklace over her well-being. Neelam interjects, suggesting Malishka should be allowed to take it off if it makes her uncomfortable, and ultimately, Kiran relents. Karishma takes the necklace and Kiran instructs her to keep it safe, highlighting its importance.
Meanwhile, Anushka sneaks into Rishi’s room, aiming to steal money from his locker. However, she is caught off-guard when Karishma enters, forcing her to hide. Anushka makes a quick exit when her phone rings, while Karishma opens the locker, places the necklace inside, and leaves the room.
Later on, Anushka calls Neel, frustrated that he chose a bad time to call her.
At the same time, Varsha hesitates about participating in a theft, but Kiran threatens her with a police complaint if she refuses. Malishka sweetens the deal by offering Varsha a large sum of money for her compliance. When Varsha worries about the locker’s password, Malishka reassures her that she will provide it, and they leave together to execute their plan.
Garimacharya seeks out Kiran to discuss Neelam, mentioning a need to speak with her about a pregnancy. Kiran grows anxious, fearing the revelation of Malishka’s pregnancy. Determined to prevent any leaks, Kiran follows Garimacharya.
Rishi then approaches Lakshmi to clarify a misunderstanding. He pleads with her not to misinterpret his actions. When Lakshmi shuts him down, Rishi corners her and explains that Kiran asked him to drape the necklace on Malishka, though he initially rejected the idea. He emphasizes that Harleen insisted it was just jewelry, so he complied. Rishi reassures Lakshmi that he is not in a relationship with Malishka, but Lakshmi rejects his claims, asserting she doesn’t think that way. Rishi reminds her that they share a deeper connection and can sense each other’s feelings.
Meanwhile, Kiran spots Garimacharya speaking with a woman and pulls Jaya aside, wanting to discuss Malishka’s situation. Jaya reveals that Garimacharya mentioned another woman is also pregnant, shocking Kiran, who demands to know the identity. Jaya asks for compensation for this information, and Kiran agrees, though Jaya admits she doesn’t know the woman’s name, but can recognize her when she sees her. Jaya begins searching the party for the individual, leading to a cliffhanger ending for the episode.
