The episode begins with Mannat packing her clothes, visibly struggling to mask her emotions. Dev enters with a cup of tea, cheerfully telling her he has a special gift for her. However, Mannat remains silent, prompting Dev to ask her what’s troubling her. She responds by asking where she is meant to go, revealing her pain as she states that her life has been destroyed since marrying him and that she plans to leave the house. She warns Dev not to come after her.
Dev reminds her that they are friends now and insists he is ready to do anything to support her. In response, Mannat insists he shouldn’t feel obligated to do anything. Overwhelmed, she throws the tea away. Dev, sensing something deeper is troubling her, questions her, leading Mannat to mention the blackmailer and the unsettling dream she had.
Mannat expresses her feelings of rejection, believing that Dev’s family does not accept her, but he reassures her that he is always by her side. She then brings up Alisha’s presence in the house, emphasizing how odd it feels to her. Dev, trying to calm her worries, insists he has nothing to do with Alisha but Mannat continues to assert that he has no genuine connection with Alisha.
Despite Dev’s attempts to convince her otherwise, Mannat remains resolute in her decision to leave, feeling that any hope for resolution has been overshadowed by their struggles. She declares that she had hoped things would get better, but she has reached her breaking point.
Dev, desperate to help, stops Mannat and urges her to open up about her problems. He holds her hand, asking her who has spoken against her, but amid their emotional tension, Mannat insists on leaving and eventually picks up her luggage. In her rush, Mannat accidentally leaves her phone behind as she heads out.
Dev tries to stop her from leaving, expressing concern, but Mannat reasons that she has no choice left and feels guilty for the pain she is causing him. Conflicted, she walks away.
Dev begins to suspect that something is off with Mannat when her phone suddenly rings. Driven by concern, he decides to check her phone for clues. Despite his reluctance, he finds a video that catches his attention. The footage shows Mannat walking down the street when she unexpectedly falls. Dev reflects on how he has always been there for her, even once jumping from the terrace for her sake, and feels the weight of her struggles knowing she is now hurting because of her choices.
Just then, a car pulls up, and Mannat attempts to get in, but Dev intercepts her. He firmly urges her to tell him the truth and instructs the taxi driver to leave. Holding the video up, Dev confronts Mannat about the reason she is leaving the house. He repeats his plea for her to be honest with him and apologizes for looking through her phone.
Dev explains that someone is blackmailing her and presses her to reveal who sent the video. Mannat responds by stating that she isn’t in the video; it’s a forged clip meant to slander her. She explains that a man is using voice modulation to threaten her, indicating that the blackmailer intends to ruin her life.
Dev reassures her of his trust, mentioning that in today’s world, it’s easy to create deceptive videos with technology. However, Mannat feels isolated, insisting that while he understands her, the rest of the world might not. She reveals she has only two hours left to deal with the situation, and when Dev asks if she knows who might have sent the video, she mentions receiving a call from an unknown number and warns that time is running out.
Dev reminds Mannat of his promise to protect her and urges her to trust him. Overwhelmed by emotion, Mannat hugs him tightly, feeling a sense of security in his presence. Dev resolves to confront the blackmail situation head-on and takes Mannat’s luggage to ensure she comes back home with him.
The episode concludes.
