The episode opens with Dev and Mannat sitting together, determined to uncover clues about Mr. X using the laptop. Mannat urges Dev to look for information related to the events leading up to the wedding. Dev discovers a folder linked to Mr. X, who previously delivered a crocodile, and expresses his concern about Mr. X’s unsettling surveillance of everyone involved.
Mannat recalls that Mr. X is aware of that fateful night when Jeet and Dev were misled onto the wrong route. Dev remembers that a roadblock had forced them to take an alternate path. Mannat adds that the crocodile was delivered directly to the river, implicating the person who misled them as being connected to Mr. X. She questions why an attack would occur just before the marriage.
Dev recalls Jeet’s intent to retrieve the ring that night, mentioning he advised Jeet against going, but Jeet didn’t heed his warning. He reveals that Jeet had already purchased a ring, which ended up lost, prompting Jeet to seek another one. Mannat notes Jeet’s tendency to manage everything himself. They both realize that the ring was stolen that night, and they remember Rudra’s presence as well.
Mannat informs Dev that Rudra had come to apologize to her father and took charge of the wedding arrangements. She also reveals that Rudra has expressed a desire to marry her, a proposal her father rejected. Dev warns Mannat about Rudra’s past behavior, recalling how he mixed drugs into her drinks to humiliate her. Mannat reflects on those incidents, leading them to conclude that Rudra may be responsible for Jeet’s death. Dev vows to confront Rudra and force a confession.
Mannat suggests they involve Vicky as an eyewitness, but Dev doubts Vicky will agree to help. Their discussion of how to extract a confession from Rudra lingers as the plot thickens.
Meanwhile, Babita informs Sakshi about Mannat’s close relationship with Dev, expressing a desire to keep them apart. Sakshi supports the idea, wishing for Dev to remain alone rather than be with Mannat.
As the scene shifts, both Mannat and Dev reminisce about their time spent together. Overwhelmed by emotion, Mannat breaks down, grieving Jeet’s tragic fate. Dev comforts her, holding her hands tightly. Mannat finds solace in his embrace, resting her head on his shoulder. Eventually, she drifts off to sleep, and Dev carefully lays her down before settling beside her, unable to leave her side.
In a tense turn of events, Rudra, disguised and accompanied by his men, infiltrates their space. He sprays a substance on Dev and Mannat, rendering them unconscious. Rudra instructs his men to take Dev, but they unintentionally collide with a table, momentarily waking the two. Mannat, realizing what’s happening, tries to intervene but is struck by Rudra. Despite her efforts to stop them, Rudra and his crew manage to abduct Dev. Jaydeep and Sakshi awaken to Mannat’s desperate cries, and she urgently tells Jaydeep that someone has taken Dev.
The episode concludes with heightened tension and unresolved conflicts.
