The episode opens with Virat advising Manvi to be cautious from now on. Manvi questions Virat’s intentions, wondering if he wants to seize control of the Ahuja empire. Virat urges Manvi to set aside thoughts of the empire, emphasizing that their current focus should be on the baby. Manvi reminds him that their original plan was to take over the Ahuja empire. Virat acknowledges that but insists that the baby must come first and reflects on the challenge of deciphering Manvi and Rajiv’s scheme.
Virat positions his phone so Amruta and Bhavani can observe his next moves. He encourages Manvi to eat but pretends to trip on the carpet as he gets ready to leave. He suggests removing the carpet to prevent slips, emphasizing that it could have been Manvi who fell instead. Afterward, he eats some salad, pretending to suffer from food poisoning, and warns Manvi against eating. As he departs, Bhavani expresses concern to Amruta about whether their plan will succeed, noting that Manvi seems skeptical about superstitions. Amruta reassures her that their plan is on track and not to worry.
Later, Virat emerges from the restroom and tells Manvi that it’s fortunate she avoided the salad. He remarks that unfortunate events seem to be occurring one after another and proposes they pray. Manvi agrees.
Virat and Manvi arrive at the temple, where he asks her to conduct the Aarthi for God. Manvi complies and completes the ritual. Virat notices her eyes are closed and secretly burns the sacred cloth in the Aarthi plate. He prompts Manvi to open her eyes, asks her to set the plate down, and extinguishes the fire. Virat expresses his concern that an evil eye may be causing trouble for the baby and suggests performing a Pooja. Manvi consents.
Nimrit arrives to see Bhavani, while Amruta discreetly hides her face. Nimrit inquires about Amruta’s well-being, mentioning her worries about Amruta’s lack of communication and her phone being off. She expresses her anxiety about Rajiv’s potential actions toward Amruta, to which Bhavani reassures her that she will protect Amruta from Rajiv. Nimrit agrees to this.
Harsh appears disguised as a Pandit and attempts to carry out the Pooja. He feigns struggle with lighting the Havan, declaring it inauspicious. Ranvir and Manvi ask Harsh for a solution, to which he claims that their marriage is the only answer. Manvi reminds Virat of her goal to seize the Ahuja empire, but Virat insists that the baby takes precedence. He informs Harsh that they will proceed with the marriage. Manvi provokes Virat, suggesting he’s changed and has feelings for Amruta. Virat responds to this, pretending to leave, but Harsh intervenes. Harsh advises Manvi to stay calm, while Virat firmly states they will marry regardless. He dispatches Harsh and contemplates his unwavering commitment to his objectives. Virat sends a message to Amruta, indicating he will see her soon.
Harsh approaches Amruta and Bhavani, revealing that Manvi is resolute about not wanting to marry.
