The episode begins with Dadi praying to God for guidance amid troubling circumstances. She expresses her confusion and concern. Karishma joins her, sharing her feelings of regret regarding Anushka and her harsh words, revealing how Anushka’s accusations have affected her.

Dadi advises Karishma to let go of the bitterness and focus instead on their family, particularly on Ayush, who has been unhappy in his marriage. They share a moment of understanding, with Karishma apologizing and embracing Dadi. Dadi emphasizes that parental responsibilities never truly end, and they must strive to understand their children to prevent similar issues in the future.
In the hospital, the light flickers as the nurse instructs a ward boy to check the situation, planning to call an electrician. Neel enters and asks the nurse for Lakshmi Oberoi’s room number. Though initially hesitant, the nurse reveals it is room number 5. As Neel turns to leave, he collides with Ayush, who finds Neel’s face oddly familiar. AJ then calls Ayush, alerting him that the kidnapper is in the hospital. Concerned, Ayush asks for the kidnapper’s name, and upon learning it’s Neel, he takes off after him.
Meanwhile, the doctor checks on Lakshmi, confirming that she is awake. She asks about Rishi and her family, inquiring about Shalu specifically. The doctor informs her that her baby is fine. Lakshmi, however, expresses her anxiety about revealing her pregnancy because of complications in her marriage. The doctor reveals that Neelam came with Malishka to collect the report, which worries Lakshmi further. She urgently requests the doctor to prevent anyone, including Rishi, from learning about her pregnancy.
Neelam, along with Kiran, brings Malishka to the hospital, where Rishi arrives and informs them that he has spoken with a senior doctor. Kiran takes the opportunity to make Rishi feel guilty by claiming Malishka is stressed due to Lakshmi. Meanwhile, Lakshmi feels a wave of dizziness and fears that Rishi might learn about her pregnancy. The doctor tries to show her a photo of the senior doctor, who is eager to share the happy news with Rishi.
As the chaos unfolds, Shalu notices Neel and confronts him. Ayush, observing from a distance, signals for her to sit, then throws a tray at Neel, trying to stop him. A brief scuffle ensues, and although Ayush tries to catch Neel, he manages to evade capture and pushes Ayush aside.
Rishi is informed that the doctor has arrived. When the senior doctor enters, the nurse interrupts her with a phone call, causing a moment of distraction. Meanwhile, Lakshmi inquires about Dr. Mehra, who is eager to discuss Lakshmi’s report with Rishi. Malishka pretends to be in pain, and Neelam insists the doctor check on her first.
As they navigate the turmoil, Lakshmi quietly thanks God for protecting her secret while feeling overwhelmed by emotion. She holds onto the report, fearing that revealing the joyous news about her pregnancy would cause more trouble than it would bring happiness.
In the precap, Rano tells Shalu that Lakshmi is concealing something significant. Neel vows revenge against Lakshmi, and Neelam hands Lakshmi’s report to Rishi, setting the stage for the impending conflict.
