The episode opens with Rishi demanding the inspector to remove Anushka and the NGO women from their home, stating they lack evidence to support their claims. Anushka asserts she has proof — the **divorce papers**. Ayush counters, accusing Anushka of forgery and reminding everyone of her recent attack on Shalu, for which a police complaint was filed. He urges the inspector to authenticate the documents and then removes Anushka and the NGO women from the Oberoi house, while Ayush escorts Shalu inside.
At the police station, the NGO women express confusion about their detention. The inspector explains that causing a scene without confirming the facts is inappropriate, and since a complaint has been lodged, he cannot assist them. Anushka reveals she has filed a complaint as well. The inspector reassures her that the truth will unfold during the investigation before they are placed in lockup.
Back at the Oberoi house, Ayush tends to Shalu’s injuries, with Shalu expressing worry for Lakshmi. Ayush attempts to comfort her. Rano expresses concern over the recent troubles faced by both Lakshmi and Shalu in the Oberoi household. Dadi tries to console Rano, but Neelam makes a derogatory comment about unfortunate individuals, indirectly referring to Lakshmi and Anushka. Rano questions Neelam’s comment, but Neelam dismisses her, leaving Rano feeling upset as Karishma and Aanchal also exit, leaving Dadi to comfort Rano alone.
In lockup, the NGO women confront Anushka for not sharing vital information. Meanwhile, Malishka notices the cold storage remains shut and feels a sense of relief. She receives a call from Kiran and deceives her about being at the hospital looking after Lakshmi, vowing not to leave until she is certain of Lakshmi’s fate. Suddenly, Malishka hears footsteps and hurriedly hangs up, turning to see Balwinder, who questions her about what she’s concealing. Malishka snaps at him, demanding he leave.
Anushka reassures the NGO women that her lawyer is on the way, while the inspector warns them to maintain calm. Rishi, Ayush, and Shalu arrive at the police station to report Lakshmi as missing. The inspector informs them that, according to their records, Lakshmi is at the hospital, prompting the trio to decide to search for her there.
At the station, Neel arrives, and Anushka inquires about her lawyer. Neel tells her the lawyer is on the way, and the NGO women, suspicious, question if Neel is Anushka’s ex-husband. He clarifies that he is still her husband due to their lack of legal divorce, leading the NGO women to scold Anushka as she retorts angrily.
Meanwhile, inside the hospital, Malishka is filled with dread over the possibility of Lakshmi dying but notices cold air leaking from the cold storage. In a panic, she swears not to let Lakshmi escape. Just then, Rishi, Ayush, and Shalu arrive at the hospital but are informed that there is no patient registered under Lakshmi’s name. At that moment, Shalu spots Malishka, who hurriedly departs upon noticing her.
