The episode begins with Rishi expressing his frustration to Ayush about trying to communicate with Lakshmi, who seems unwilling to listen. Rishi acknowledges that he has made numerous mistakes in their relationship, yet he believes Lakshmi isn’t entirely to blame for the rift between them.
Meanwhile, Jaya is seen on the phone with Maya before she sneakily approaches her from behind and strikes her with a vase. Jaya thinks to herself that Maya must be seriously injured. She then drags Maya away and lays her down on a bed.
Later, Jaya informs Garimacharya that she found Maya unconscious in the next room and will be taking her there. He agrees, clearly concerned for Maya’s wellbeing.
Back with Rishi and Ayush, the conversation shifts to Rishi’s determination to make amends with Lakshmi. Rishi shares his plan to express his true feelings to her and mentions that he intends to perform the seven rounds around the Lohri fire, symbolizing their commitment to each other for seven lifetimes. Unbeknownst to them, Malishka overhears their discussion, visibly upset.
In another part of the house, Anushka is rummaging through a locker, taking money and jewelry. When she hears footsteps approaching, she quickly hides behind the bed. Shalu enters the room and notices money scattered on the floor, realizing a thief must be present. She decides to play it cool, leaving the room in hopes that the thief will reveal themselves.
Garimacharya enters the bedroom, discovers Maya unconscious, and feels her hand. Noticing the injury on her head, he senses bad omens and urgently tells Jaya they need to leave. He instructs her to call Neelam right away, to which Jaya agrees.
Meanwhile, Malishka grows increasingly frustrated because no matter how hard she tries, Rishi’s thoughts remain solely focused on Lakshmi.
In the main area, the priest calls for the Oberoi family. Aanchal comments that Rishi and the others seem to have gone somewhere. Harleen asks Lakshmi to find Rano and bring her back, to which Lakshmi agrees.
Shalu emerges from the room, wielding a stick, while Anushka, still hidden, waits to make her move. Anushka tries to escape but spots Shalu’s shadow. Shalu comes back into the room, frustrated by the lack of action, and as she searches for the thief, Anushka attempts to strike her with a vase. Shalu, however, ducks just in time and ends up falling.
Lakshmi, meanwhile, asks a security guard if he has seen Rano, but he claims he doesn’t know who she is. When Lakshmi offers to show him Rano’s photo, he instead points out Anushka’s picture on her phone, informing her that Anushka has entered the Oberoi mansion, shocking Lakshmi.
Rano arrives and engages Lakshmi in conversation just as Neel, lurking nearby, prepares to harm her. Rishi, sensing impending danger for Lakshmi, sets off to find her. Kiran sees Malishka and decides to follow her.
Back with Rano, she inquires about Lakshmi’s thoughts, and Lakshmi responds that she is worried about Anushka’s presence. Just then, Neel attempts to stab Lakshmi, but Rishi catches sight of her and calls out her name. The sound of his voice makes Neel hesitate and retreat to hide.
Rishi takes charge, instructing Lakshmi and Rano to come inside while warning the guards to be vigilant in case anyone approaches. Seizing the distraction, Neel sneaks into the Oberoi mansion. Aanchal arrives shortly to gather everyone for the Pooja.
In a private moment, Malishka contemplates taking her own life, convinced that Rishi and Lakshmi are destined to be together forever. At that critical moment, Kiran catches sight of Malishka holding a knife, escalating the tension.
The episode concludes with a cliffhanger, leaving viewers anxious about the fate of Lakshmi and Malishka.
