The episode opens with the police inspector addressing Rishi and the Oberoi family, revealing that they are not dealing with real police. He explains that they learned from a security guard that the police had supposedly already visited the location, but upon checking in with the control room, they confirmed no officers had arrived—indicating that these were impostors. As Pankaj and the fake officers attempt to flee, they are quickly apprehended.
The inspector informs the Oberoi family that he received a call about a stolen necklace, allegedly taken by Lakshmi. When he announces Lakshmi’s arrest, Shalu challenges him, questioning how he can arrest her without proper investigation. The inspector then asks if anyone has a photo of the missing necklace, which Kiran readily provides.
The police inspector instructs his constables to begin a search of Lakshmi’s room. Kiran expresses concern that Lakshmi shouldn’t have stored the necklace there, prompting a remark from the inspector. Karishma leads the constables to Lakshmi’s room while the inspector confronts Pankaj, demanding to know why he posed as a police officer. Pankaj remains silent, even as the inspector threatens him with a gun, and ultimately fires a shot as a warning.
Anushka and Neel, alerted by the gunshot, come to investigate but run into Karishma and the police, who order them to be detained. The inspector urges Pankaj to confess the truth, threatening him with real consequences if he doesn’t. Under pressure, Pankaj reveals that he was called by Neel to complicate things for Ayush due to grievances against Anushka. Meanwhile, Karishma alerts Neelam about Anushka and Neel’s presence in the house.
The police bring Anushka and Neel in, claiming they found the stolen necklace with them. The inspector takes the necklace and declares that they are the thieves, criticizing Kiran for falsely accusing Lakshmi. Rishi chimes in with a comment aimed at Kiran.
Seeing the family distracted, Anushka seizes the opportunity to escape, brandishing a knife and taking Shalu hostage. She demands that the police and Oberoi family step back. Lakshmi and the others plead with Anushka to let Shalu go, but Neel insists she won’t relent. Pankaj urges both Anushka and Neel to consider their own safety.
After confronting the family over her harsh treatment and eviction from their home, Anushka attempts to leave with Shalu. Rishi intervenes, offering Anushka whatever she desires in exchange for Shalu’s release. Anushka, momentarily swayed, praises Lakshmi and declares to Malishka that despite everything, Lakshmi will always come out on top.
The episode concludes on this tense note.
