The episode begins with Vishwas confiding in Avantika about his feelings for her. He expresses his desire to marry her, revealing his plans to separate from Aarambhi and gain custody of his son, Vihaan. Vishwas explains that he intends to create a situation where Aarambhi unknowingly applies a harmful chemical color to Vihaan, believing it to be a safe Holi color. He believes this will lead to an allergic reaction, exposing Aarambhi as a negligent mother in front of everyone. This, he hopes, will convince people that Avantika would be a far better mother for Vihaan.
Unbeknownst to them, Aarambhi overhears their conversation and is taken aback, wondering how Vishwas could betray his own son in such a manner. Just then, Nandita calls out to Aarambhi, prompting her to hide. Meanwhile, Vishwas takes Avantika by the hand and leaves the area.
As they walk away, Vishwas reassures Avantika that by proving Aarambhi to be an irresponsible mother, he can easily secure a divorce and the custody of Vihaan. Avantika expresses her admiration for his cunning plan. However, Vishwas reveals his inner conflict, feeling guilty about the lengths he is willing to go to against his own child. Avantika encourages him not to worry, promising that she will manage the situation by administering an anti-allergic injection at the appropriate moment.
Later, Harry approaches Aarambhi, inquiring if the colors for Holi are organic. Aarambhi confirms this and insists that Vihaan should stay close to her during the festivities. She applies coconut oil to him, thinking it will protect him from his father’s schemes. While walking with Vihaan, Aarambhi accidentally bumps into Manmeet, causing color to splatter on her.
Vihaan gleefully announces that his mother is now colored. Manmeet wishes her a happy Holi, commenting on the apparent love between them. Aarambhi responds that this marks the beginning of their friendship and asks Manmeet to look after Vihaan, given his allergy to chemicals. Manmeet promises to keep Vihaan safe and requests Aarambhi’s support whenever necessary.
Meanwhile, Vishwas prepares a tray of chemical color. As the interns arrive at the Holi party, they plot to teach Manmeet a lesson as revenge. Vishwas devises a plan to involve Aarambhi’s mother in applying the harmful color to Vihaan, ensuring that when Vihaan suffers an allergic reaction, the blame will fall squarely on Aarambhi.
Balbir expresses concern to Manju about their presence at the party, but Manju urges him to relax. Vishwas greets them and invites them to join in the Holi celebrations with Aarambhi and Vihaan. He hands Manju the chemical color, and she happily accepts.
Karthik accidentally collides with Manju, causing a bhang medicine to spill. He questions her lack of attention, but Vishwas intervenes, introducing Manju as his mother-in-law, which prompts Karthik to apologize. After Manju leaves, Karthik picks up the spilled bhang medicine.
As the Holi festivities continue, Aarambhi, Vihaan, Raj, and Manmeet dance joyfully. Saniya encourages Avantika to join them, and she does, prompting Avantika to ask Saniya to bring Vishwas along as well. Vishwas pulls Avantika aside for a private conversation. Nandita inquires about Karthik’s mother, but he informs her that she did not attend.
Karthik and his friends apologize to Manmeet for a previous incident, and she assures them it’s all right. They secretly mix bhang into the thandai and ask Raj to give it to Manmeet. When Raj presents the spiked drink to her, she is about to consume it when Aarambhi coughs, causing her to pass the drink to Aarambhi instead. Just as Aarambhi is about to drink it, Vihaan interrupts, insisting that his grandmother wants to color him.
Vishwas insists that Aarambhi should let her apply the color, but Aarambhi protests, saying Vihaan does not want it. Despite her objections, Vishwas pushes for it, and Manju applies the color to Vihaan. Suddenly, Vihaan cries out in pain, claiming something has gotten into his eyes. Dimple chastises Aarambhi, and Manmeet urges Raj to intervene. Raj, however, forces Manmeet to drink the spiked thandai before rushing to help Vihaan.
Aarambhi quickly washes out Vihaan’s eyes while Vishwas takes Avantika aside, declaring their plan a success. Avantika demands that he fill her maang with the color from the box, threatening not to provide the antidote to Vihaan otherwise. Aarambhi watches from a distance, concerned.
Vishwas, believing he is applying Holi color, decorates Avantika’s hairline and cheek. Avantika reciprocates, and they return to check on Vihaan, who claims he is fine. Saniya requests color from them, but Avantika declines. Aarambhi, seeing Saniya’s eagerness, applies color to her, but Avantika quickly wipes it off, citing Saniya’s allergy. Aarambhi reassures her that the colors are herbal.
Soon, both Vishwas and Avantika begin to show signs of an allergic reaction, their faces turning red and burning where the color was applied. They rush to wash their faces, and Dimple notices Vishwas’s alarming redness.
Aarambhi realizes that she had swapped the chemical color Vishwas gave to Manju with the sindoor, catching on to the scheme. Avantika insists that the anti-allergic injection is in her purse and calls for someone to fetch it. Dimple urges Aarambhi to administer the injection, but Aarambhi reminds her that she is not a practicing doctor. Avantika loudly demands the injection, prompting Raj to go get it.
In her heart, Aarambhi vows to Vishwas and Avantika that they can do whatever they wish to her, but she will never allow them to harm Vihaan. Avantika silently acknowledges this as a mother’s promise. Eventually, Raj returns with the anti-allergic injection for both Vishwas and Avantika. Aarambhi resolves to protect her son at all costs.
In the preview for the next episode, Aarambhi is seen rescuing Manmeet from Karthik and his friends.
