The episode opens with Shivansh driving Surya in his car, a determined look on his face as he prepares to confront the challenges ahead. Just as he is about to reach the police station, he receives a call from his lawyer. Shivansh informs him that he is en route to the police station with the culprit in his car and vows not to spare anyone involved, insisting on getting justice for what has happened. Unbeknownst to him, Shakti and a group of goons are closely following him, intent on thwarting his plans.
Meanwhile, Prarthna, worried about Shivansh, calls him to check on his whereabouts. He responds that he is taking Surya to the police station and inquires about her current situation. Prarthna reveals that she is still upset with Raunak and went to confront him. Shivansh presses her, asking if she has told Raunak that they know the truth about the situation. Prarthna admits that she did, fueled by her anger. Shivansh, frustrated, tells her to stop acting like his wife, emphasizing that their marriage was born out of complicated circumstances rather than love. He expresses his disapproval of her interactions with Raunak, feeling that it complicates their already tense relationship, and abruptly disconnects the call.
Prarthna, undeterred, calls him back, pleading for him to listen. Shivansh puts the phone on speaker while driving, trying to maintain focus on the road. As they speak, he notices a tempo following closely behind him. Prarthna suggests he pull over to let the tempo pass, but Shivansh insists that the vehicle is deliberately tailing him. Tension mounts as Payal, on the other end of the line, contacts Shakti, inquiring whether he has succeeded in killing Shivansh. Shakti smugly replies that he is indeed following Shivansh’s car, urging Payal to keep her phone on.
Suddenly, Shivansh’s car is struck from behind by the tempo, sending a jolt through both him and Surya. He realizes that this was no accident; the tempo driver has intentionally rammed into them. Prarthna, now worried, urges him to be careful. Shivansh reassures her, saying he knows how to handle the goons. However, Shakti and his men strike again, hitting Shivansh’s car multiple times. In a desperate attempt to escape, Shivansh veers off onto a different route, hoping to lose them. He believes he has succeeded until he suddenly spots a truck approaching from the opposite direction.
In a split-second decision, Shivansh swerves to avoid a collision, but the maneuver leads to disaster. His car careens off the road and tumbles down a cliff, with Shivansh being thrown from the vehicle upon impact. Prarthna, witnessing the horrifying scene, screams in terror and rushes out of her house, determined to reach Shivansh. Shakti, satisfied that the accident has been executed, tells Payal that he will check on Shivansh to ensure he is dead.
As Prarthna runs outside, her dupatta accidentally catches fire from a nearby flame, but she is too focused on reaching Shivansh to notice. Bua Maa and Tanya, witnessing her frantic behavior, exchange worried glances, unsure of what is happening. Meanwhile, Shakti and the goons approach the wrecked car, with Shakti declaring that Shivansh will not survive this ordeal. They discover Surya, injured but alive, inside the car. They free him from the wreckage and take him away, leaving Shivansh behind.
Back at the scene, Prarthna arrives, breathless and frantic. She searches for Shivansh, calling out his name. Shakti and the goons, realizing Prarthna has arrived, decide to leave quickly. Prarthna begs a taxi driver to help her take Shivansh to the hospital, and he agrees without hesitation. As they rush to the hospital, Shakti informs Payal that the job is done, and Shivansh will soon be dead. Payal, satisfied with the news, expresses her desire for Shivansh to die so that Raunak can be safe.
On the other side of town, Raunak is spiraling into despair. He angrily destroys decorations, lamenting to Mayank that Prarthna has ruined his love, heart, and friendship. He vows that he will never allow Prarthna to accept Shivansh and breaks down, consumed by his emotions.
Back at the hospital, Prarthna arrives with Shivansh and pleads with the nurse for immediate treatment. The nurse, recognizing the urgency, agrees to admit Shivansh without the usual formalities. Relieved, Prarthna thanks her profusely. Meanwhile, Raunak confides in his family about renting a new house, clearly distressed. Kanti expresses concern for Raunak’s well-being, feeling that he is on a path to self-destruction.
Smita, noticing Raunak’s turmoil, asks Mayank what is troubling him. Mayank explains the situation regarding Prarthna’s visit and the ensuing argument. Smita, sensing something is wrong, feels an overwhelming urge to talk to Raunak, unaware that Shivansh has just been in a life-threatening accident.
At the hospital, Prarthna is beside herself with worry as she begs the doctor to save Shivansh. He assures her that they will do everything possible to help him. Prarthna prays fervently for Shivansh’s recovery, her heart heavy with fear.
Meanwhile, Shakti and Surya arrive at the hospital for Surya’s treatment. They spot Prarthna and approach, but quickly hide their faces when she turns around, sensing that she may suspect them. The tension thickens when Smita answers a call from Payal on Raunak’s phone. Payal, unaware that Smita is on the line, discusses her involvement in Shivansh’s accident, revealing that she hired men to ensure he wouldn’t survive. Smita is horrified, her heart racing as she hears Payal’s cold intentions.
She angrily confronts Payal, demanding to know why she would put Shivansh’s life in danger. Payal dismisses her concerns, insisting that Raunak is also involved in this plan. Smita, furious, argues that Shivansh is not their enemy and would never harm Raunak. Payal, however, is resolute, stating that she cannot allow Shivansh to emotionally hurt Raunak anymore.
In a shocking revelation, Smita confesses that Shivansh is her son, a truth that leaves Payal reeling in disbelief. Raunak, who has been eavesdropping, is equally stunned, unable to process the implications of Smita’s words. Smita, heartbroken, looks at Raunak, tears streaming down her face, as the weight of the situation becomes painfully clear. The episode ends on this dramatic note, leaving viewers anxious for what will unfold next in this tangled web of relationships and betrayal.
