The episode begins with a tense atmosphere as Adit confronts Sowmya, demanding her phone so he can check her chats with Ishana for any clues about her whereabouts. Sowmya, feeling the pressure, becomes visibly scared at the thought of Adit discovering anything incriminating. Just then, Adit’s phone rings; it’s a call from his office. He informs them that he cannot come in due to a family emergency and promises to send the necessary files instead. As he is distracted, Sowmya quickly deletes several messages from her chat history, hoping to cover her tracks.
After the call, Sowmya expresses her hurt to Adit, saying, “I felt hurt that you want to check my messages without trusting me.” She tries to deflect the conversation, mentioning Ishana’s stubbornness and how she never listened to Mangal either. Mangal, who has been listening, rebukes Sowmya sharply, warning her that she won’t forgive her if anything happens to her daughter, Ishana, before storming off. Adit, frustrated, labels Sowmya as irresponsible and walks away, leaving her in a state of anxiety. Sowmya’s thoughts spiral as she worries, “Adit will kill me if he finds out I gave money to Ishana for partying with her friends.”
Meanwhile, Mangal meets with Ishana’s best friends, hoping to get some insight into her daughter’s behavior. The friends share their concerns, revealing that Ishana has changed significantly and no longer communicates with them as she used to. Mangal’s worry deepens, and she breaks down in tears, overwhelmed by the situation. Kapil, noticing Mangal’s distress, approaches her and inquires about what’s wrong. Mangal confesses that Ishana dropped out of the school exchange program a week ago, and no one knows where she is. Kapil tries to console her, assuring her that they will find Ishana and promising to bring her back home safely.
In a proactive move, Kapil contacts the Commissioner, requesting a discreet investigation into Ishana’s whereabouts without alerting the media. The Commissioner agrees to handle the matter confidentially, and Kapil emphasizes the urgency, asking to be informed immediately if any leads are discovered. Grateful for Kapil’s support, Mangal expresses her thanks and mentions that she is going to the temple to pray for Ishana’s safety. After she leaves, Kapil feels a pang of guilt seeing Mangal’s condition and vows to himself that he will do everything in his power to find Ishana and restore happiness to Mangal’s life.
Meanwhile, Kusum and Akshat are shown praying fervently to the goddess for Ishana’s safety. Adit, on a call with the school administration, expresses his frustration and anger, warning them that he won’t spare them if anything happens to his daughter. He holds them responsible for her disappearance and asserts that he will take matters into his own hands to find Ishana. Sowmya makes a careless comment about Ishana, prompting Kusum to warn her sternly, saying, “If we find out you’re behind Ishana’s situation, we won’t spare you.” The tension rises as Sowmya realizes the gravity of the situation.
Back at the temple, Mangal lights a lamp and prays earnestly to the goddess for her daughter’s safe return. Just then, Adit calls her for an update, but Mangal has none to share. At that moment, Kapil arrives and tends to Mangal’s wounded hand, wrapping a kerchief around it. He informs her that the police have traced Sowmya’s phone location to a resort, which piques Adit’s interest as he overhears their conversation. The group decides to head to the resort immediately.
Upon arriving at the temple, Adit questions Mangal about why she hadn’t informed him earlier about the lead. Kapil intervenes, reminding Adit that this is not the time for arguments, emphasizing the urgency of the situation. On their way to the resort, Mangal calls Akshat, reassuring him that they have located Ishana and will bring her home soon, urging him not to worry.
As they approach the location, Adit begins to argue with Kapil again, but Mangal steps in, reminding him to thank Kapil for his efforts, as they are getting closer to finding Ishana because of him. They finally arrive at the supposed resort, but Adit remarks that it doesn’t look like a typical resort, questioning why Ishana would choose to come to such a place. Mangal, driven by intuition, peeks through a peephole in a nearby warehouse and sees men moving machinery inside. Her gaze catches a glimpse of a dupatta hanging inside one of the machine boxes, raising her suspicions about the situation.
The episode ends on this cliffhanger, leaving viewers anxious about Ishana’s fate and the unfolding mystery surrounding her disappearance.
