The episode begins with Katha expressing her joy to Naina about having finally found Uv’s mother. This moment is filled with excitement as Katha shares her plans to surprise Uv with a birthday party and introduce him to his mother, Sheetal Jindal. Naina enthusiastically encourages Katha to inform Uv about this revelation over the phone, but Katha insists on keeping it a secret for now. She believes that this surprise will be a precious gift for Uv, one that he has long awaited.
Meanwhile, Uv and his family are in the midst of a search for Uv’s mother’s contact number, filled with hope for a long-awaited reunion. As Katha immerses herself in the birthday preparations, she reflects on the possibility that Uv’s mother may have lost her memory, explaining her absence over the years. Uv, on the other hand, contemplates sharing the news of his mother with Katha but hesitates, thinking to himself, “Katha also suffers like me. If I introduce her to my mom, she might feel as if she’s meeting her own mother.” This sentiment resonates with Katha as well, who feels a deep connection to Uv’s mother, viewing her as a maternal figure.
As Katha continues her preparations, Naina playfully teases her about the elaborate birthday arrangements. Katha begins to wonder why Uv’s mother’s name was changed from Sheetal to Gayatri, suspecting that Arjun might be behind this change. She feels a sense of betrayal, believing he must have lied to her about the situation. Later, while serving tea to Harshavardhan, Katha comments on how the tea reminds her of Sheetal’s, prompting her to question Harshavardhan about why, if he still cared for her, he did not prevent her from leaving twenty years ago. Harshavardhan explains that he never had the opportunity to stop her, as Sheetal left to pursue her dreams. He adds that he searched for her but was unable to find her. After he departs, Katha pieces together the truth: Sheetal’s absence was due to an accident, but the Jindal family believes she left of her own accord. She is left wondering why Arjun concealed this important information.
Naina then asks Katha how she plans to reveal the truth to Uv. With determination, Katha replies that she intends to surprise him after he returns from Delhi, hopeful that the reunion will bring joy.
Meanwhile, Arjun is seen scolding the security team, ordering them not to allow Katha into the house. He is convinced that his sister has disregarded his warnings and let Katha in. In a bold move, Katha calls Sheetal, asking her to meet so they can discuss the truth about her past. When Sheetal inquires about what truth Katha is referring to, Arjun snatches the phone away. Katha urgently tells Sheetal, “Your son and husband are alive. Meet me tomorrow to learn everything, but please don’t inform your brother.” In a fit of anger, Arjun breaks the phone and confronts Sheetal, demanding to know why she spoke to Katha against his orders. When Sheetal mentions that Katha claimed to know something about her past, Arjun insists that he has already told her everything and warns her to sever any ties with Katha. He then locks Sheetal in her room, effectively isolating her.
Arjun is consumed by the thought that Katha has uncovered the truth and is planning to reunite Sheetal with her family, a scenario he cannot allow due to his vendetta against the Jindal family. Meanwhile, Katha confides in Naina about her plan to meet Sheetal the next day, ready to reveal the entire truth and facilitate a reunion with her son.
On the other side of the narrative, UV’s brother, Party, contacts UV to inform him that Sheetal is now an ad agency owner in Jaisalmer, although he has been unable to obtain her contact number. They decide to track her down in their own unique way. As Katha and Naina wait anxiously for Sheetal, Arjun is seen instructing Manav and his men to relocate Sheetal to a place far from the city, furthering his scheme to keep her away from Katha and Uv. When Sheetal confronts Arjun about the move, asking why he is shifting her, he coldly replies that it’s for her safety. However, Sheetal secretly resolves to meet Katha, determined to learn the truth.
