The episode opens with Adit standing in a remote area, frustrated as he realizes he has no signal on his phone. He decides to leave the spot, determined to find help. Meanwhile, Sowmya, feeling the weight of the day’s events, resolves to focus on her work, trying to push aside her worries.
As Adit makes his way, he calls Mangal, urgently asking her to come to the shooting range. Mangal, sensing the urgency in his voice, quickly informs Kusum about Adit’s request before heading out.
When Mangal arrives at the shooting range, Adit is visibly relieved to see her and embraces her tightly. Concerned by his demeanor, Mangal asks him what’s wrong. Adit explains, “I found Sudesh’s phone, but they are nowhere to be seen.” The gravity of the situation sinks in, and they both start searching for Akshat and Sudesh, their anxiety mounting with each passing moment. Meanwhile, Sowmya, aware of the chaos unfolding, begins to worry that she might be caught and starts planning her escape.
As Mangal and Adit call out for Akshat, they hear him murmuring the names of his parents in his unconscious state. This prompts Sowmya to make a run for it, but her dress gets caught on a branch, momentarily trapping her. Hearing Akshat’s voice, Adit and Mangal rush toward the sound, only to find Akshat lying on the ground, injured and unconscious. Shocked and worried, they quickly check on him to assess his condition. Just then, Adit notices a group of men approaching. Desperate for answers, he shows them a photo of his father and asks if they have seen Sudesh. The men shake their heads, informing him that there was an accident nearby earlier, and a man fell into the jungle. Adit’s heart races with anxiety as he fears it could be his father. Mangal tries to reassure him, stating, “It can’t be Sudesh.” With no time to waste, they quickly take Akshat to the hospital and resolve to file a missing person complaint for Sudesh.
Back at home, Sowmya returns, visibly shaken, and lets out a sigh, “What a stressful day!” She scans the empty house and wonders why no one is home. Ishana, looking upset, tells her not to talk, explaining, “We’re already worried. Akshat and Sudesh haven’t returned since morning.” Sowmya, puzzled, asks where they went. Kusum chimes in, saying they went out for ice cream. Sowmya, skeptical of this explanation, replies, “That can’t be true. I should ask Mangal where they actually went.” Ishana informs her that Mangal is not home, prompting Sowmya to mutter, “Mangal is becoming irresponsible these days.”
Just then, the doorbell rings, and Sowmya’s heart races as she anxiously thinks, “I hope Akshat hasn’t revealed anything.”
Adit and Mangal return home with Akshat, who is still unconscious. Kusum rushes over, her worry evident as she asks how Akshat got injured. Adit, wanting to keep things calm, tells her to let Akshat rest. However, Kusum’s concern shifts to Sudesh as she notices the worried expressions on Mangal and Adit’s faces. “Why do you both look so tense?” she questions, turning to Akshat, asking him about Sudesh. Overcome with emotion, Akshat bursts into tears, prompting a frustrated Kusum to demand, “Why is no one answering me?” Finally, Adit speaks up, “We haven’t found Sudesh yet.”
Kusum’s anxiety escalates as she turns to Mangal, pleading, “Swear to me and tell the truth.” Mangal takes a deep breath and explains, “Adit got a call and found Sudesh’s phone at the location where we also found Akshat. But we still don’t know why they were there. We searched, but we couldn’t find Sudesh.”
Meanwhile, Sowmya, hiding in the background, secretly breathes a sigh of relief, thinking, “Thank God! They still don’t know that I was behind the accident.” As Kusum recalls the ominous signs she had noticed earlier, her worry deepens. Mangal reassures her, “Nothing will happen to Sudesh. We’ll find him.”
Ishana, trying to make sense of the situation, questions, “Why would they go that far just for ice cream?” Sowmya, attempting to deflect the conversation, says, “Only Akshat can answer that.” However, Akshat, still traumatized by the events, cries out and falls asleep, leaving the room in a heavy silence.
Sowmya then states, “Akshat is too shaken to talk. We need to find another way to uncover the truth.” Just then, Adit suddenly remembers something crucial. “I have Sudesh’s phone,” he announces, and as he unlocks it, Sowmya’s heart races with panic. She thinks to herself, “Mangal’s game will be over once he checks the phone!”
The episode ends on this tense note, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats, eager to see how the characters will navigate the unfolding drama and whether Sowmya’s secret will be exposed.
