The episode begins with Maliska, who feigns a desire to leave the house, creating a stir among her family members. Concerned, they rush into her room, pleading with her to reveal the reasons behind her sudden decision. Her mother, visibly worried, insists that Maliska share what is troubling her. After much hesitation, Maliska finally opens up, explaining that she feels deeply disturbed due to her pregnancy, which has been weighing heavily on her mind.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Rishi busies himself preparing a sandwich for his wife, Lakshmi. Ayushman, a close family friend, expresses his happiness for the couple, celebrating their recent milestones. Rishi, feeling protective, resolves to visit the police station to gather information about the criminal who has been harassing Lakshmi, determined to ensure her safety.
As Maliska observes the growing intimacy between Rishi and Lakshmi, a wave of jealousy washes over her. Though she is Rishi’s legal wife, she feels neglected and invisible, overshadowed by Rishi’s unwavering affection and care for Lakshmi. The emotional turmoil pushes her to contemplate leaving the house, yearning for her self-respect and a life where she feels valued.
In a parallel storyline, Balwinder finds himself kidnapped by Anuksha, who is acutely aware of the precariousness of their situation. She knows that if Balwinder discovers her true intentions, her carefully laid plans could unravel. As Balwinder gradually regains consciousness, Anuksha remains vigilant, ensuring that he does not suspect anything amiss.
Back in the house, Maliska pretends to be unstable, expressing a desire to live her life for her unborn child. She fantasizes about reliving her life, hoping for a fresh start. Just then, Rishi enters Maliska’s room, seeking to understand her distress. This is the moment Maliska has been waiting for, but instead of pressuring her to stay, Rishi respects her feelings and leaves the decision in her hands, demonstrating his support.
Suddenly, there’s a knock at Anuksha’s door. In a panic, she quickly hides Balwinder’s face, trying to maintain the facade. When Anuksha opens the door, she finds Lakshmi standing there, eager to enter. However, Anuksha blocks her way, creating a tense standoff. Lakshmi, sensing something is off, confronts Anuksha about her behavior towards her sister. Just then, a noise from inside the house piques Lakshmi’s curiosity, intensifying her concern.
Meanwhile, Rishi faces a stern reprimand from his mother, who chastises him for being rude and unkind to Maliska, reminding him that she is not just a girlfriend but his legal wife and the mother of his child. She stresses the importance of treating Maliska with respect and compassion, urging Rishi to recognize her significance in his life.
Back at Anuksha’s house, Lakshmi notices a man sitting in a chair with his face obscured. Mistakenly thinking it’s Neel, she becomes worried. Anuksha, playing along, claims that Neel is intoxicated, which explains his odd behavior. Lakshmi, growing suspicious, attempts to uncover the man’s face, but Anuksha prevents her from doing so. As tensions rise, Anushka forcefully pushes Lakshmi out of the house and locks the door, warning her to stay away from her sister.
Feeling lost and unsure of her next steps, Maliska confides in her mother-in-law about her predicament. Her mother-in-law reassures her, asserting that Rishi will not take any drastic actions against her and will ultimately choose his family over any romantic entanglements.
Meanwhile, Rishi shares his inner turmoil with Ayushman, seeking advice on how to navigate his complicated relationships. He confesses his desire to keep Lakshmi in his life while grappling with his responsibilities towards Maliska.
In a dramatic turn of events, Balwinder, fueled by anger, manages to escape from Anuksha’s clutches. Realizing he has been deceived, he breaks free from her captivity, leaving Anuksha in a state of panic. She quickly informs Maliska of Balwinder’s escape, knowing that this could complicate their plans.
As soon as Lakshmi returns home, Rishi approaches her with genuine concern, wanting to understand the source of her distress. Lakshmi opens up about her worries regarding her sister, revealing that she visited Anuksha’s house. Rishi, upon hearing Anushka’s name, becomes visibly restless, sensing that trouble may be brewing.
