The episode begins with Ayush approaching Rishi, asking if they can go since they need to prepare for the Lohri festival. Rishi replies that he has some work to attend to and asks Ayush to inform everyone that he will be late. Curious, Ayush inquires about Rishi’s plans, and Rishi cryptically says he’s going to work on his happiness before leaving. Ayush assumes Rishi is off to buy a gift for Lakshmi for the Lohri celebration.
Meanwhile, Rano notices Shalu looking troubled and questions her about it. Shalu brushes it off, claiming nothing is wrong. Rano comments on Shalu’s demeanor before walking away, leaving Shalu feeling guilty for hurting Ayush. Determined to make amends, she resolves to visit the Oberoi mansion the next day to apologize.
Rishi arrives at Lakshmi’s room, and she asks why he’s there. He responds that it’s his home and he can be anywhere he pleases. Rishi expresses his desire to always be with her and then presents her with a gift. He says he bought it because he knew she was expecting something from him. Lakshmi, however, insists she wasn’t expecting any gift and walks away.
In another part of the house, Kiran tells Malishka that tonight will be Lakshmi’s last evening in their home. Malishka chimes in, stating that tomorrow night will be her final night. Kiran confirms that both Lakshmi and Shalu will be leaving after the next day.
Karishma and Aanchal confront Neelam, expressing their surprise at her plans. Neelam replies that she intends to execute her strategy tomorrow and clarifies that Lakshmi will finally understand her true position in the house. She declares that Lakshmi will learn she has no place here and must leave.
The stage is set for a dramatic confrontation as tensions rise in the Oberoi household.
Malishka expresses her confusion to Kiran about why Neelam gifted Lakshmi a saree. Kiran reassures her, saying that Neelam never acts without a purpose and advises Malishka not to overthink it.
Neelam confides in Karishma that she wants to illustrate to Lakshmi that today will be her last day in the house, which is why she gave her the saree. Karishma points out that the gift might give Lakshmi hope. Neelam confidently states that she will bring Lakshmi back to reality tomorrow.
The next day, as Lakshmi prepares for the Lohri festival, Harleen notices a glow on her face, commenting that it looks as if she might be pregnant. Realizing her faux pas, Harleen quickly apologizes. Lakshmi, however, feels internally validated, thinking to herself that she is indeed pregnant. She contemplates leaving the Oberoi mansion but decides she needs to retrieve her reports from Rishi’s locker first, planning to do so while everyone is busy celebrating Lohri.
Rano and Shalu arrive at the Oberoi mansion for the Lohri festivities, greeted warmly by Harleen. Aanchal asks Rano who invited them, and Harleen explains that she did because she wants everyone to have a special Lohri celebration. Aanchal nods in agreement.
While navigating the gathering, Shalu accidentally bumps into Malishka. She quickly apologizes, but Kiran chimes in, reminding Shalu that Malishka is pregnant. Shalu maintains that it was an accident and leaves.
Kiran then tells Malishka that it’s time to execute their plan. Malishka agrees, spotting a dark corner and suggesting that Kiran send Lakshmi there under some pretense. She then plans to fake an incident where she claims Lakshmi pushed her hard enough to endanger her and the baby. Kiran consents to the scheme.
Meanwhile, Anushka and Neel discuss their Lohri plans. Anushka reveals she will be attending the festivities at the Oberoi mansion, with the ulterior motive of stealing some money while there.
The episode concludes.
