The episode opens with Shalu unaware of Anushka and Neel’s presence in the kitchen. Determined to find them, Shalu goes to Garimacharya, asking Jaya to take him to Neelam in the hall. Jaya agrees, and Shalu then leads some police officers to search for Anushka and Neel.
Shalu instructs the cops to search in one direction while she checks another area. Meanwhile, Neelam questions Karishma about her lack of knowledge regarding Anushka’s presence. Karishma expresses frustration to Ayush, suggesting he should have informed her. She later criticizes Lakshmi for not revealing the truth about Anushka to anyone.
Neelam confronts Lakshmi, saying that had she disclosed Anushka’s stay at the house, action could have been taken, and the situation could have been avoided. Rishi intervenes, explaining that Lakshmi likely kept quiet to protect the Lohri celebration, but Karishma sharply remarks that Rishi doesn’t genuinely believe that.
Malishka then voices her discontent, reminding everyone that she is the one who is pregnant and feels overlooked amid the ongoing arguments. She insists that she deserves a peaceful environment, yet the fights continue to disrupt that peace.
Lakshmi approaches Malishka to comfort her, attempting to show understanding, but Malishka snaps, accusing Lakshmi of insincerity since Rishi was performing phere with Lakshmi around the Lohri fire.
Shalu confronts Malishka, questioning why she is playing the victim. She reminds Malishka that she is having Rishi’s child and warns her not to act as if she’s the only one affected. Neelam immediately interjects, telling Shalu to stop.
Shalu pushes back, demanding to know why she should be silenced. Karishma steps in, asserting that Shalu has no right to speak to Neelam like that and demands an apology. Lakshmi also urges Shalu to apologize.
Confused by Lakshmi’s sudden authority, Shalu questions her motives, asking why Lakshmi seems to align with Malishka. Lakshmi counters by telling Shalu to use her logic to understand the situation.
Neelam turns to Ayush, questioning if this is the kind of girl he proposed to, clearly disapproving of Shalu’s behavior. She adds that Shalu should learn to respect her elders. However, Shalu stands firm, declaring she will always choose to speak the truth, no matter the context.
At that moment, Garimacharya calls out for Neelam, claiming he has something important to discuss. Just then, Kiran inadvertently pushes Varsha towards Garimacharya, causing both to tumble down the stairs and get injured.
The Oberoi family rushes to help Garimacharya and Varsha, intending to take them to the hospital. But Pankaj stops them, stating that an investigation is underway, so they cannot leave. Instead, the family instructs their servants to escort them to the hospital.
Later, the constables return to inform Pankaj that they couldn’t locate Anushka. Pankaj orders Ayush to come with him to the police station, but Shalu protests, asserting that Ayush hasn’t done anything wrong. Pankaj shoots back, saying he also suspects Shalu’s involvement in Anushka’s disappearance and insists she come along.
Just then, the real police arrive at the Oberoi mansion. Neelam questions the influx of officers, to which the police inspector clarifies that they are here representing the actual police.
The episode draws to a close, filled with tension and uncertainty about what will happen next.
