The episode begins with Mannat inquiring about a pot, and the servant explains that it helps to cool the water. Deciding it will help her find peace of mind, Mannat chooses to keep the pot in her room. Dev soon learns from Mohan that Mannat is in the storeroom, and he goes to check on her. Mannat explains that she needs the pot to calm her thoughts. Grateful, Dev expresses his thanks, but Mannat encourages him to spend time with Alisha and wipes away her tears.
As they talk, Mannat is excited to discover that Dev’s video has gone viral and asks to see more of his work. She suggests he create his own poetry channel, and Dev thanks her for supporting him, feeling that she has proven their friendship. However, their moment is interrupted when the storeroom door jams, trapping them inside. Mannat urges Dev to call for help, but his phone is unreachable. When she suggests shouting, Dev tries to climb onto a table for leverage but it breaks under him.
Mannat advises Dev to stay calm. He insists on jumping from the window to unlock the door, but Mannat teases him, calling him “Superman.” Dev reminds her of their bond and decides that he will lift her up so she can reach the window. Despite her fears, Mannat agrees, but as she climbs onto his arms, they lose their balance, and she falls into his embrace. In a tender moment, Mannat closes her eyes while Dev encourages her to open them. Their proximity sparks a romantic connection, and Mannat’s chain entangles itself in Dev’s button just as Mohan unexpectedly opens the door, catching them together.
Mohan runs into Babita and informs her about the situation, leading her to worry about the implications for Alisha. Meanwhile, Alisha is eagerly waiting for Dev, who arrives visibly upset. He confronts her angrily, accusing her of causing harm to his mother. When Alisha tries to shift the blame onto Mannat, Dev firmly defends Mannat, asserting his strong trust in her. He bluntly tells Alisha to leave his house immediately.
In a separate scene, Alisha calls Rudra, venting her frustration. Rudra warns her to lower her voice, insisting that they aren’t out of options yet. He assures her that he’ll soon begin to execute his plan. Babita then alerts Alisha about Mannat and Dev being in the storeroom together, which Alisha dismisses at first. However, when Babita insinuates there may have been romantic involvement, Alisha becomes defensive, and Babita taunts her for being ineffective. Alisha retorts that she’s a skilled player and that her strategy will soon unfold.
As the episode continues, Dev is captivated by Mannat’s presence while trying to write on his laptop, unable to concentrate. Curiosity piqued, he asks her what she’s doing, and Mannat replies she’s searching for her hair clips. Dev finds them and Mannat thanks him, prompting him to compliment her, stating that she looks more beautiful with her hair down. Taking his advice, Mannat lets her hair flow freely. Dev encourages her to relax and enjoy her studies, marking the beginning of their growing love story.
The episode concludes on this hopeful note.
**Precap:** Rudra uses a disguise to blackmail Mannat, threatening her with a video and demanding she leave her home.
