The episode begins with Malishka revealing to Kiran that Balwinder has uncovered her secret—her attempt to harm Lakshmi. Malishka explains her predicament, sharing how Balwinder threatened to expose her actions. In a desperate move to silence him, she rendered him unconscious and sent him to Neel and Anushka’s house. Kiran, however, expresses doubt about trusting Neel and Anushka, questioning their loyalty. Malishka, determined to pacify her mother, assures her that the duo is firmly on their side.
At the hospital, the doctor requests Rishi to step out, explaining that she needs to speak privately with Lakshmi. As Rishi leaves, Lakshmi becomes emotional. The doctor advises her to avoid stress, emphasizing that it could harm her baby. Startled, Lakshmi struggles to process the revelation and anxiously asks if Rishi knows about her pregnancy. The doctor reassures her, explaining that she hasn’t disclosed the news to him, leaving the responsibility of sharing it to Lakshmi. Before Lakshmi can respond, the doctor is called away to attend to an emergency.
Meanwhile, Rishi informs Shalu and Ayush that Lakshmi has regained consciousness. Shalu, overcome with joy, rushes to meet her sister. At the same time, Neel and Anushka face a challenge as they try to move an unconscious Balwinder out of their house. Despite their efforts, Balwinder collapses. Just then, Rano arrives on the scene and notices Anushka, immediately becoming suspicious.
Shalu arrives in Lakshmi’s hospital room and is visibly relieved and elated to see her awake. They share a tender moment, with Shalu expressing her gratitude for Lakshmi’s recovery. Meanwhile, Rano confronts Anushka, accusing her of hypocrisy and calling out her double standards. Tensions rise as Rano refuses to back down, determined to expose what she perceives as injustice.
Later, Rishi and his family bring Lakshmi home from the hospital. As they arrive, Kiran, observing the scene from a distance, promptly informs Malishka about Lakshmi’s return. Malishka, already harboring frustration, becomes even more exasperated upon hearing the news. Anger and jealousy fuel her growing resentment.
Once home, Rishi opens up to Lakshmi, confessing how deeply her presence matters to him. He shares that life feels empty and meaningless without her, baring his heart in a moment of vulnerability. Meanwhile, Rano reveals to Lakshmi that Anushka had played a pivotal role in disrupting Shalu’s engagement. Lakshmi, shocked by the revelation, decides to confront Anushka about her actions. However, Shalu intervenes, pleading with her sister to let it go and insisting that it isn’t worth the trouble.
Elsewhere in the household, Kiran confronts Neelam, demanding clarity about when Lakshmi will leave the Oberoi residence. Neelam responds with a sharp remark, unwilling to entertain Kiran’s persistent questioning. Malishka, always calculating, pretends to be understanding and supportive in front of Neelam. However, as soon as she steps away, her mask of composure slips, revealing her true frustration.
In a touching gesture, Rishi brings food for Lakshmi and personally feeds her, their bond growing stronger with each interaction. Malishka, lurking nearby, witnesses the scene. Consumed by envy, she struggles to contain her jealousy as she watches the couple share an intimate moment. Later, Ayush drops Shalu and Rano home. Before leaving, he surprises Shalu with a kiss on her cheek, leaving her shy and flustered by his affection.
The day culminates with Rishi and Lakshmi spending quality time together, cherishing each other’s company. Meanwhile, Malishka, unable to endure her growing discontent, approaches Neelam and expresses her unhappiness with the family. Overwhelmed by her emotions, she declares her decision to leave the house, signaling an impending clash of dynamics.
And with this, the episode comes to a close, leaving behind a trail of emotions, confrontations, and unresolved tensions.
