The episode opens with Kapil noticing Mangal’s evident stress and concern etched on her face. Sensing something is troubling her, he inquires about the cause of her distress. Mangal skillfully diverts the conversation, reminding Kapil of a promise he made to her during their time in Delhi. This prompts a flashback that reveals a pivotal moment in their relationship: the day Kapil saved Mangal from a near-fatal accident. In the flashback, we see Kapil rushing Mangal to the hospital after she loses consciousness, his determination to ensure her safety palpable.
Upon regaining consciousness in the hospital, Mangal learns from a nurse that it was Kapil who rescued her. Overwhelmed with gratitude, she thanks him for his timely intervention. Kapil, in turn, seizes the moment to inform her that their meeting was destined, as he is an investor in a startup called Sultan. He proposes a partnership, suggesting that he invest in her culinary venture, Pehla Swad. Kapil encourages Mangal to relocate to Jaipur, where his business headquarters are located.
Initially resistant to leaving her home in Delhi, Mangal expresses her hesitance. Kapil reassures her that the move would be temporary, emphasizing that establishing her outlet in Jaipur would not only provide financial stability but also enhance her recognition in the culinary world before she eventually returns to Delhi. Despite his persuasive arguments, Mangal remains unconvinced, caught between her aspirations and her attachment to her current life.
As the narrative shifts back to the present, Mangal receives sobering news from her lawyer. He informs her that financial stability is crucial for securing custody of her children, which sends her into a spiral of distress. In her desperation, she turns to Maata Rani, praying for guidance and support. Shortly after, Kapil again reiterates his offer, urging her to reconsider the move to Jaipur.
Kapil presses Mangal about her insistence on returning to Delhi after six months, but she stands firm in her decision. Acknowledging her choice, Kapil reminds her of the contractual obligations binding her to his company for two years. He points out a specific clause that states if she decides to leave Jaipur, the Pehla Swad brand will have to be transferred to his company. This revelation takes Mangal by surprise, leaving her feeling cornered. Kapil, with genuine concern, advises her to think carefully about her decision, emphasizing that as a friend, he wants her to make the right choice. He then steps away to take a phone call, leaving Mangal to ponder her options.
Meanwhile, Adit arrives at Kapil’s company, eager to meet with him. The receptionist checks Kapil’s schedule, while Mangal recalls Adit’s previous assertion that he would gain custody of the children instead of her. This thought overwhelms her, triggering a panic attack. Sensing her distress, Adit notices Kapil’s office nearby and rushes toward it, hoping to find help.
As Mangal begins to collapse from the panic, Kapil returns just in time to catch her. He quickly provides her with an inhaler, helping her regain her composure. Kapil reassures her, doing his best to calm her anxiety. Just as Adit is about to enter Kapil’s office, the receptionist stops him, informing him that he must wait for permission to meet with Kapil. Adit reluctantly complies, frustration evident on his face.
Once Mangal has recovered, she expresses her gratitude to Kapil for his timely support. Kapil, still concerned, asks her to share the reasons behind her desire to return to Delhi. He acknowledges that it is a personal matter but wishes to understand what troubles her. Mangal, however, is resolute in keeping her struggles private, unwilling to burden him with her story.
Shortly thereafter, Mangal receives a call from a natural clinic confirming her appointment for 6 PM. She acknowledges the appointment and informs Kapil before preparing to leave.
Later, Kapil finally agrees to meet with Adit, who is waiting nearby. Despite being in the same location, Mangal and Adit miss each other entirely. When Adit presents his project details to Kapil, he is met with indifference. Kapil dismisses the proposal outright, tossing the file aside, leaving Adit stunned and frustrated by the lack of interest.
The episode concludes with this unresolved tension, leaving viewers eager to see how Mangal will navigate her challenges and whether Adit will find a way to connect with Kapil amid the brewing conflict.
