The episode starts with Rishi expressing his concerns to Ankush about the possibility of refusing to lie to his family. Ankush responds by threatening to inform the hospital that Indranath’s collapse was due to Jhanak’s negligence. Rishi counters this by stating that Ankush would ultimately be caught during the investigation. However, Ankush remains unfazed and insists that Jhanak’s career will be ruined long before any investigation results are revealed. Rishi defends Jhanak, asserting that she did nothing wrong. In a more sinister tone, Ankush poses the question of what would happen if Jhanak were to disappear as if she never existed. He implies that Rishi has no idea of the lengths he is willing to go to regarding Jhanak. To emphasize his point, Ankush calls his family and puts the phone on speaker.
When Tanushri answers, she inquires about Rishi’s whereabouts. Rishi lies, claiming he left Kolkata the previous day for a confidential assignment. Tanushri expresses her surprise that he didn’t inform anyone about his departure. Rishi maintains his story, stating that it is a confidential matter. Tanushri then asks about Jhanak, and Rishi reassures her that Jhanak is fine and currently on duty at the hospital.
Tanushri urges him to return home soon, to which Rishi agrees before Ankush disconnects the call. Following the conversation, Rishi expresses his disdain for people like Ankush, but Ankush dismisses his feelings, stating that he is indifferent to Rishi’s opinions. Rishi warns Ankush that if Jhanak manages to survive this ordeal, she will ruin him. Ankush retorts that if that were the case, it would only confirm that he made the right choice in selecting Rishi for his plans.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Jhanak is deep in thought, grappling with a moral dilemma. She realizes that one injection could potentially kill Indranath, but she is conflicted about whether she can go through with it. On the other hand, she knows that if she does not act, Rishi’s life could be in jeopardy. Determined to approach the situation as a doctor, she decides to take a smaller dose of medication to administer to Indranath.
Just then, Mishti arrives and questions Jhanak about why she didn’t inform anyone about her duty. Jhanak explains that it was a sudden assignment, leaving her no time to notify anyone. Mishti presses further, asking where Jhanak stayed the previous night. Sensing Ankush’s doctor returning, Jhanak tells Mishti that she is busy and will talk later.
Mishti, still concerned, asks if anything is wrong. Jhanak shakes her head, indicating that everything is fine, and she steps inside the room. Seizing the opportunity, Jhanak injects Indranath, who expresses his trust in her. However, he soon feels dizzy and falls asleep. Jhanak reassures herself that she will protect Indranath at all costs. In a moment of desperation, she discards the smaller dose of medicine into the trash and prepares to dispose of the larger, potentially lethal dose as well. Just then, Ankush’s doctor enters and questions Jhanak about her actions. She lies, claiming she administered the medication that Indranath had given her. The doctor warns her not to act overly clever because Rishi is in Ankush’s custody. Jhanak nods in acknowledgment. At that moment, a nurse informs her that the principal is calling for her.
Jhanak heads to the principal’s office, where she is instructed to take care of Indranath’s nursing and supervision. The principal praises Jhanak for earning Indranath’s trust, which is why she has been given this responsibility. Banumati, another authority figure, acknowledges the prevalence of betrayal in politics but expresses her complete trust in Jhanak. Jhanak assures Banumati that she will not let her down and will fulfill her responsibilities. Banumati emphasizes the importance of Jhanak’s role, stating that Indranath’s life depends on her. Grateful for the trust placed in her, Jhanak leaves the principal’s office, determined to prove herself.
Meanwhile, Mishti informs Neelu that Jhanak is on duty at the hospital, specifically assigned to care for Indranath. She expresses her concern that Jhanak did not communicate well with her. Neelu suggests that Jhanak feels empowered by her new role. Mishti speculates that Jhanak appeared tired, possibly indicating she spent the night with Rishi. Dadabhai chides Mishti for making such assumptions, while Putul defends Jhanak, suggesting that she might simply be busy. Mishti insists that something feels off, and she inquires whether Rishi has contacted them. Neelu confirms that Rishi is away on a confidential assignment.
As Jhanak reflects on her situation, she realizes she cannot allow either Indranath or Rishi to die. She fears that if Indranath dies, Ankush may kill both her and Rishi. In a moment of urgency, she writes down Ankush’s plan in the medical report file. When doctors arrive, Jhanak informs them that Indranath’s condition is unstable. The senior doctor asks what medication she administered to Indranath. Jhanak lies, claiming she followed the instructions from the chart provided by the senior doctor. He expresses confusion, noting that he had prescribed mild medication and wonders why Indranath’s condition has deteriorated.
Meanwhile, Aditi visits Rishi’s house, where Tanushri inquires about her well-being. Abhimanyu mentions Rishi’s confidential assignment, and Tanushri remarks that Rishi sounded strange. Aditi suggests that Rishi might be lying about his situation. Tanushri informs Aditi that Jhanak is currently on duty at the hospital, and Neelu confirms what Rishi told them. Tanushri recalls the events of Christmas Day, which raises Aditi’s curiosity about what transpired. Abhimanyu urges Neelu to remain silent about it, while Aditi expresses her desire for Rishi to be truthful.
Back in the hospital, Ankush’s doctor reassures Jhanak that she did nothing wrong. However, the senior doctor advises that they cannot proceed with Indranath’s surgery under the current circumstances. He instructs Jhanak to provide him with the medical report file. Jhanak hopes that the senior doctor will read her letter, but he closes the file without looking at it and decides to postpone the surgery for the time being. He instructs Jhanak to stay by Indranath’s side and care for him. Jhanak nods, resolved to ensure that she does not fail in her duties. She thinks to herself that she will not lose and is determined to save both Rishi and Indranath.
As Tanushri attempts to call Rishi, she finds that his phone is switched off. Aditi suggests they could use the Find My Gadget app to locate him, but she notes that it only works if Rishi’s phone is turned on.
In the upcoming scenes, Jhanak recalls Ankush’s ominous words and silently apologizes to Indranath in her mind. She resolves that she must take drastic measures to save Rishi, indicating that she is prepared to make difficult choices in the face of danger.
