The episode opens with Shalu urging Lakshmi to be by Ayush’s side, reminding her that Ayush’s current state is because of her. Lakshmi attempts to calm Shalu, assuring her that everything will work out for the best. Shalu then shares that she has good news for both Ayush and herself, but she plans to reveal it only once Ayush regains consciousness.
Just then, the nurse steps out of the operation theater. Shalu anxiously asks about Ayush’s condition, and the nurse grimly informs them that Ayush has lost a substantial amount of blood and urgently needs a transfusion before leaving. Shalu’s worry intensifies while Lakshmi tries her best to reassure her.
At that moment, Rishi and Malishka arrive. Lakshmi briefs Rishi about Ayush’s worsening condition, prompting deep concern for his cousin.
Meanwhile, Malishka encounters Kiran, who is eager to understand why Malishka hasn’t been returning her calls. Kiran excitedly reveals good news—Lakshmi will soon exit Rishi’s life, explained by the details of Lakshmi’s agreement with Neelam. While they talk, Kiran spots Jaya at the hospital and suddenly drops a bombshell on Malishka: Lakshmi is pregnant. Malishka, taken aback, listens intently as Kiran pulls her away for a more in-depth discussion.
Elsewhere, Karishma is determined to tell Rishi the truth, but Neelam intervenes, urging her to hold on. Karishma agrees to listen but under one condition—Neelam must also consider her point of view. Neelam acquiesces.
In a fit of panic, Malishka wonders how Rishi will react when he learns about Lakshmi’s pregnancy, worried that he might choose to leave her. Kiran reassures her, suggesting that Lakshmi likely knew about her pregnancy before she had a chance to tell Rishi, which is why she hasn’t mentioned it yet. Malishka questions Kiran about the certainty of Lakshmi’s condition, prompting Kiran to call Jaya into the room.
Kiran asks Jaya why she had given her money. Jaya confesses that it was to stop Garimacharya from informing Neelam about Lakshmi’s pregnancy, adding that she distracted Garimacharya by injuring Maya. Still skeptical, Malishka probes into how Garimacharya discovered Lakshmi’s pregnancy. Jaya explains that he has the ability to sense it by merely touching someone’s hand. Intrigued, Malishka asks if Garimacharya can pinpoint the exact day of conception, to which Jaya affirms. Motivated by this revelation, Malishka insists that Jaya take her to see Garimacharya and rushes off.
Meanwhile, Neelam pulls Karishma into a private room, promising to ensure that Ayush and Shalu will be separated after their marriage. Confused, Karishma demands to know why she was brought there. Neelam then locks Karishma inside, igniting her fury. Karishma retaliates by managing to escape and locks Neelam inside the same room, decreeing that Neelam will remain there until she confesses everything to Rishi.
With determination, Karishma sets off to tell Rishi the truth but learns that Ayush is in critical condition and urgently requires blood. Lakshmi steps forward, volunteering to donate her blood for Ayush. As Ayush undergoes treatment, he suddenly calls for Karishma. She rushes to his side to comfort him, but the doctor quickly instructs her to leave.
Meanwhile, Neelam is able to escape the locked room with the assistance of a nurse. Karishma, overwhelmed with emotions, breaks down over Ayush’s situation, struggling to cope as Rishi offers her consolation.
