Malishka questions Balwinder’s sudden arrival. He replies that he wants to stay with her until the baby is born and even considers stepping in as the baby’s father. Malishka agrees, and he hugs her. Elsewhere, Rano notices Mittal staring at her, and the two exchange heated words. Amid the tension, Mittal spots Aanchal and is instantly smitten.
Back with Malishka, Balwinder shares a trick to feel the baby’s kick. Malishka laughs, saying, “Your trick is working, and your kick has literally killed me!” Lakshmi overhears them and tries to peek into the room, but her view is blocked. Rishi walks in and spots the joker (Balwinder) with Malishka. When he asks about Lakshmi, they lead him outside to her. Suspicious, Lakshmi vows to uncover the joker’s identity.
During a dance celebration, Bhalla invites Aanchal to dance, and the mood turns joyful. Malishka tells Balwinder to slip away while everyone is distracted. Lakshmi asks Ayush to stop the joker, needing to speak with him. Ayush intercepts Balwinder, raising Malishka’s anxiety. Lakshmi tries to see the joker’s face, but he escapes. Determined, she chases him. Shalu joins in, offering to pour soap water on him to reveal his identity. Lakshmi follows through and is stunned to discover it’s Balwinder. She pieces together the truth as he flees.
Kiran, witnessing this, drags Balwinder into a room, confronting him about troubling Malishka and accusing him of blackmail. Shalu eavesdrops through a window, stunned by their conversation. As the scandal unfolds, Kiran insists Balwinder cover his face and sends him away, heightening Shalu’s suspicions.
Meanwhile, Lakshmi starts suspecting a deeper link between Malishka and Balwinder and resolves to expose it. When Malishka fails to wake Rishi, she notices Balwinder nearby and pulls him aside. At the same time, Ayush questions Shalu about Lakshmi’s urgency. Karishma interrupts, urging Ayush to help Rishi, leaving Shalu to make Kadha.
Malishka confronts Balwinder about his exposed identity. He explains Lakshmi saw him but didn’t recognize the full truth. He reassures her that Lakshmi still doesn’t know he’s the baby’s father. Unknown to them, Lakshmi overhears—and is left stunned.
The episode ends.
