The episode begins with Dev asking Mannat to return his personal diary, but Mannat insists she wants to hear a poem from his collection first. Dev hesitates at first, but Mannat’s enthusiasm convinces him to agree. As he begins reciting a romantic poem, Mannat is captivated and records his reading. She praises Dev and questions why he keeps his poetry hidden from others, suggesting that he should consider publishing it. Dev appreciates her encouragement, but his moment of vulnerability is quickly interrupted when he feels a spider crawl onto his hand. In a panic, he requests Mannat’s help and instinctively grabs her arm.
Mannat recalls their earlier confrontation when she had slapped him for a more intimate touch, but this time, she helps him, bursting into laughter at his fear of spiders. Dev assures her that he won’t tell anyone about his fear since they’re now friends, but Mannat can’t resist teasing him further, claiming there’s a spider on his back. Dev panics and starts swatting his back with his shawl.
Meanwhile, Sakshi is suddenly hit with a migraine. She frantically searches for her medicine, unable to find it. In desperation, she asks Mohan to call Babita, who typically knows where everything is. Mohan informs her that Babita is out. Mannat enters and advises Sakshi to sit down and relax, but Sakshi refuses, wanting nothing to do with Mannat. Undeterred, Mannat decides to call the doctor for assistance, who informs her that Sakshi needs to take her medicine three times a day with care.
Alisha arrives and suggests to Sakshi that she should call her, but Sakshi ignores her. Alisha, feeling envious that the doctor has entrusted Mannat with Sakshi’s care, notices Sakshi’s continued disdain for Mannat. After Sakshi orders Mannat to leave the room, Aditi comments on how Mannat manages to stay calm despite everything. Mannat tells Aditi that she will take care of boiling water for Sakshi before heading to the kitchen, leaving her slippers behind.
Seeing Mannat’s slippers, Alisha devises a malicious plan. She puts on Mannat’s slippers and swaps Sakshi’s medicine for a harmless powder. Disposing of the actual medicine on the floor, Alisha then walks over it in an attempt to create chaos, eager to see Sakshi blame Mannat.
Jaydeep comes to check on Sakshi and spots the discarded medicine on the floor. He inquires if Sakshi has taken her medication yet. Sakshi, feeling frustrated, replies that she hasn’t and accuses Mannat of throwing it away. As tensions rise, Jaydeep offers to fetch the medicine for her. Meanwhile, Mannat rushes in with a packet filled with powder, but before she can explain, Sakshi, in her haste, takes a sip.
Sakshi turns to Jaydeep, claiming that Mannat has switched her medicine, leaving the scene filled with tension as misunderstandings abound.
The episode ends on this dramatic note.
**Precap:** Mannat confronts Alisha, demanding that she admit to replacing the medicine, but Alisha begins to feign innocence in front of Dev, setting the stage for further conflict.
