Aanchal approaches Bhavna with a grave warning: Mamta is actively deceiving her. She strongly urges Bhavna to confront Mamta and demand her departure from the house, stating that Mamta’s refusal would expose her true intentions. Aanchal further advises Bhavna to maintain distance between Mamta and Mukesh. Despite Aanchal’s insistence, Bhavna struggles to accept this information, clinging to the hope that Aanchal is mistaken, as she deeply values Mamta’s friendship. Aanchal expresses genuine concern for Bhavna’s well-being and conveys her gratitude for their friendship.
Aanchal then begins to reminisce about Neelam, expressing profound grief over her loss and deep regret for not being present during her final moments. She draws a parallel between Neelam’s silent endurance of hardships and Lakshmi’s struggles during her pregnancy, particularly highlighting Lakshmi’s lack of support from Rishi. In a shocking accusation, Aanchal directly implicates Lakshmi in Neelam’s death. She praises Neelam as an exemplary mother and wife who created a harmonious environment in the Oberoi mansion. Neelam’s absence is keenly felt by Aanchal, who now redirects her affection and concern towards Bhavna. As a gesture of support, she offers Bhavna money and promises to procure raw mangoes for her.
When Bhavna queries the basis of Aanchal’s suspicions regarding Mamta, Aanchal reveals that she observed Mamta casting covetous glances at Mukesh. Bhavna attempts to dismiss this observation, but Aanchal adamantly insists that she is merely trying to make Bhavna see the truth and protect her from potential harm.
Meanwhile, Rishi is consumed by feelings of betrayal regarding Lakshmi, believing her gentle demeanor to be a deception. He sits by her side as she sleeps, overwhelmed by hurt and regret.
Elsewhere, Aanchal attempts to engage Mamta for work, but Malishka intervenes, asserting that Mamta is now working under her direction. Malishka dismisses Aanchal rudely and orders her to summon Mukesh. Kavya confronts Malishka about her discourteous behavior, but Malishka dismisses the criticism, stating she has no need to feign politeness.
In a private conversation, Malishka recruits Mamta to act as her informant within the Oberoi mansion, offering monetary compensation. Mamta readily agrees, hinting at a personal history of unrequited love, which she promises to reveal at an opportune moment. Pleased with the arrangement, Malishka dispatches Mamta and informs Kavya that she has finally found the ideal assistant.
Later, Mamta approaches Mukesh and references a shared moment from their past. She then directly asks him if he finds her beautiful, to which he hesitantly responds affirmatively. Aanchal, overhearing this exchange, confirms her earlier suspicions of Mamta’s sinister intentions. She resolves to ensure Mamta’s departure from the household to safeguard Bhavna and laments Mukesh’s naivety in failing to recognize the threat Mamta poses. The episode concludes at this point.
