The episode begins with Mangal confronting Adit, stating that while Sowmya has no proof to back her accusations against her, she herself has evidence against Sowmya. Adit turns to Sowmya for a response, but she chooses not to engage. Shanti criticizes Sowmya, who fires back, accusing Shanti of neglecting her own daughter’s safety. When Shanti makes a move to slap Sowmya, Adit intervenes. Shanti alleges that Sowmya attempted to harm Mangal by locking her in a cold storage room, linking her actions to Kusum’s troubling condition. Adit presses Sowmya for an explanation. In response, Sowmya concocts a story about her sonography frame breaking in the wind, showcasing the glass shards to feign distress over her child. Adit is moved by her display, and Sowmya argues that, despite Mangal’s disdain for her, as a mother, she should empathize with her pain. While Shanti dismisses this as mere theatrics, Sowmya skillfully turns Adit against Shanti.
Feeling the tension, Adit reprimands Shanti, insisting she has no right to interfere in his life and demanding an apology to Sowmya for her earlier actions. Mangal argues against Shanti apologizing, pointing out that Sowmya made unproven claims against her. Sowmya downplays the need for an apology, seeking Adit’s support instead. Adit forces Shanti to leave, accusing her of overstaying her welcome. Shanti maintains that she was invited, tells Mangal to look after Kusum, and departs. Adit then criticizes Mangal for the unnecessary chaos, reminding her that his mother’s well-being should be the priority.
Later, Adit administers Kusum’s medication. While Sowmya exercises in her room, she hears a glass shatter. Kusum, having accidentally dropped the glass, worries about being scolded. Adit comforts her and tells Sowmya to clean the mess. As she tidies up, Mangal discovers a tablet on the floor. Adit instructs Kusum to sit on the sofa, while Sowmya questions if Kusum has been taking her medications properly. Mangal informs Adit about the found tablet, and he decides to purchase a new one, causing Sowmya to fret since she lacks a replacement.
When Akshath turns on a fan, Kusum feels chilly and warns him about the fan being broken. Meanwhile, Mangal disposes of the tablet in the dustbin. Kusum calls for Mangal to sit with her, expressing that she feels neglected since her return from Sri Lanka. Mangal reassures her that everything is fine. Seeing their connection, Sowmya becomes determined to disrupt their bond. Kusum asks Mangal for juice, and while she is gone, Sowmya retrieves the discarded tablet from the rubbish.
Mangal notices Sowmya’s suspicious behavior, yet Sowmya, unaware, sets a heater near Kusum. Feeling overheated, Kusum stumbles and turns on the fan, causing Akshath to question its sudden activation. Mangal acts quickly, clarifying that it was Kusum who switched it on, alleviating Adit’s concern for Akshath’s safety.
In another storyline, Jia’s mother reprimands her for her stubbornness, blaming her for Karthik’s imprisonment and Gayathri’s death. Jia argues it was an accident, but her mother warns her to remain at home until the court hearing. Meanwhile, Sanjana tries to reach Jia, but her call disconnects before Jia can answer.
Later on, Raghuveer takes Gayathri to an abandoned house, where she complains that it looks haunted and insists his home was preferable. Raghuveer, with a sarcastic tone, thanks her and forces her to stay, manipulating her into turning against Lakshmi. He orders her to clean the house for “entertainment,” leaving her feeling frustrated. Meanwhile, Lakshmi visits Raghuveer’s residence and is taken aback to find Sanjana tied up in a chair. When she tries to help, Raghuveer intervenes, warning her that rescuing Sanjana could jeopardize their plan. With only five days left to execute their scheme, Lakshmi reluctantly retreats, burdened by guilt.
Back at Jia’s home, she tells her mother about a message from Sanjana. Her mother encourages her to call Sanjana, but Jia hesitates out of fear. Gayathri dreams of reclaiming control over her household and resolves to return the following morning. Disguised, Gayathri sneaks into the house, where Jia also arrives. In a clever ruse, Lakshmi hides Gayathri and pretends to be possessed by her ghost, frightening Jia with a false confession that she killed Sanjana.
The episode concludes on this dramatic cliffhanger.
