The episode begins with Adit instructing hospital staff to treat Kusum urgently, insisting he can’t leave her in the mental asylum for too long. He abruptly ends the call when he spots Mangal approaching. Mangal senses something is wrong and asks Adit what happened, but Adit brushes him off and leaves. Mangal, feeling uneasy, prays to Maata Rani for guidance to uncover the truth about Kusum. Meanwhile, Kusum is trapped in a dark room at the asylum, crying out for Mangal’s help while he grows increasingly restless at home.
The next day, Adit calls the hospital to inquire about Kusum’s condition. He speaks with Sowmya, who reprimands him for pestering the staff with his frequent calls. Adit apologizes but explains that Mangal won’t stop until he learns the truth about Kusum. Sowmya dismisses his worries, reminding him that he has the right to make decisions for Kusum as her son. However, internally she fears that Kusum might lose her sanity in the hospital.
Later, while searching for Akshat’s water in the car, Mangal discovers a hospital receipt that raises her suspicions. Determined to uncover the truth, she heads to the mental asylum. At the reception, she learns that Kusum is indeed admitted there, shocking her and revealing Adit’s deceit. Mangal requests to see Kusum and take her home, but the receptionist insists on needing a letter of permission from Adit. Meanwhile, Kusum attempts to escape but is intercepted by guards, who sedate her and return her to her room before Mangal can reach her.
Mangal storms into Adit’s office, interrupting a meeting. After the staff leaves, she confronts Adit, accusing him of lying and demanding to know why he admitted Kusum to the asylum. She shows him the parking slip as evidence and questions how he could betray his own mother, reminding him of all Kusum has done for them. Adit defends his actions, claiming he couldn’t bear to see Kusum’s deteriorating condition and believed this was in her best interest. Mangal criticizes Adit for making decisions unilaterally, insisting that Kusum could receive proper care at home. Adit explains he kept the truth from her, knowing she would oppose the idea. Outside the office, Sowmya worries that Mangal will ruin their plans. Undeterred, Mangal insists Adit accompany her to bring Kusum home, but Adit pleads with her not to interfere with Kusum’s treatment. Mangal stands firm in her decision.
Meanwhile, Lakshmi refuses to divorce Karthik and tells Jia she doesn’t need her assistance. Angered, Jia vows that Lakshmi will regret her choice. Later, Lakshmi informs Raghuveer about Jia’s ultimatum and her refusal to comply. Raghuveer offers to pick her up, but Lakshmi insists on going home herself. In a fit of desperation, Jia threatens to harm herself. When Lakshmi returns to check on her, Jia puts her unconscious and ties a rope around her neck, intending to hang her.
Concerned at Lakshmi’s absence, Raghuveer decides to check on her. As Lakshmi regains consciousness, Jia reveals she has backup, insinuating that Gayatri is alive and accusing Lakshmi of deception. Lakshmi, alarmed, questions whether Jia harmed Gayatri, but Jia brushes her off. Just then, Raghuveer arrives, calling out for Lakshmi. Jia sets a trap that would cause Lakshmi to hang as Raghuveer opens the door and hastily leaves.
Raghuveer bursts through the door just in time to save Lakshmi from the noose. Sanjana arrives moments later, offering her apologies for the situation. Raghuveer asks how she got involved, and Sanjana explains that she came to expose the truth about Jia and her mother but instead witnessed their vicious nature and recognized her own mistakes. She pleads with Lakshmi for a chance at redemption. Despite Raghuveer’s doubts, Lakshmi forgives Sanjana, acknowledging that she saved her life. Raghuveer then questions if Sanjana will testify in court against Jia, and she readily agrees.
Elsewhere, Nidhi expresses her mistrust of Lakshmi to Umesh, insisting she should call the police, but Umesh attempts to dissuade her. Meanwhile, Gayatri realizes her water mug is empty and, feeling faint, steps outside her room, only to collapse. Umesh catches her and rushes her to the hospital.
Later, Lakshmi visits Karthik in jail, bringing him food. Karthik expresses his love for her and apologizes for the troubles he has caused. He notices a mark on her neck and presses her to explain what happened. Reluctantly, Lakshmi reveals the details of Jia’s deal and the incident that unfolded.
The episode concludes on this tense and emotional note.
