Lakshmi comforts her unborn baby, assuring them that they will be safe. Meanwhile, Shalu offers reassurance to Rano, convincing her that everything will be alright, and Rano eventually agrees. At the Oberoi residence, women from an NGO confront the family, accusing them of destroying Anushka’s life by introducing a second woman into her marriage. Anchal tries to present the truth, but they refuse to listen. Rishi confronts the group, accusing them of accepting Anushka’s false accusations without skepticism and urging them to hear his perspective. One of the women warns that the family could face legal repercussions if they misbehave.
Just then, Anushka wakes up and proclaims herself as Ayush’s wife, asserting she married him only after her divorce from Neel. However, Shalu disputes this, stating that Anushka married Ayush before officially completing her divorce. In response, Anushka produces evidence of her divorce, leaving everyone astonished.
Meanwhile, Lakshmi is trying to find a way out of the cold storage room. Shalu begs Anushka to recognize the truth, but Anushka stands her ground, identifying herself as Ayush’s wife and calling Shalu the other woman. Rano angrily warns Anushka against insulting Shalu.
Elsewhere, Balwinder phones Malishka, who answers with annoyance. During the call, Malishka hears a nurse mentioning a trip to the cold storage, causing her to panic. She pretends that there’s a signal problem and urgently tells Balwinder to stop the nurse from getting to the basement, warning that they could be caught. She ends the call abruptly, claiming it was a network issue.
Anushka continues her performance as a victim, while Shalu fiercely defends the Oberoi family’s honor. Meanwhile, the pandit informs Dadi that the engagement ceremony should begin soon. Rishi, visibly concerned, wonders where Lakshmi is. Inside the cold storage, Lakshmi desperately attempts to loosen the screws on the door to escape.
Following Malishka’s instructions, Balwinder knocks the nurse unconscious to prevent her from accessing the basement. In the meantime, the NGO women insist that Anushka must remain in the Oberoi house, urging her to gather her belongings. Neelam implores them to stop supporting a liar, with Dadi supporting her, insisting they are backing the wrong individual.
Anushka ramps up her act, but Rishi eventually loses his cool and warns her to cease her antics or he will reveal the truth. Playing the martyr, Anushka questions why she is being blamed, even begging Ayush to end her life. Ayush intervenes and chastises her for her manipulation. Back in the cold storage, Lakshmi communicates with her baby, determined to share her pregnancy news with Rishi. She continues to struggle, trying to unscrew the door for her escape.
The episode ends.
