The episode begins with Mangal waking up to find Adit shivering while sleeping on the floor. Concerned, she covers him with a duvet and promises to bring him coffee before heading out.
In the kitchen, Kusum arrives, and Mangal asks her to taste the food. After tasting it, Kusum realizes Mangal has forgotten to add salt and scolds her. Mangal smiles, happy to see Kusum’s familiar behavior, and adds the salt before giving her a warm hug.
Sowmya unexpectedly enters the kitchen, insisting Mangal move aside as she needs to prepare a detox drink. However, Kusum tells Sowmya to come back later since Mangal is making breakfast and sends her away. Sowmya, annoyed by this, keeps a sinister thought to herself, contemplating the need to drug Kusum before she regains her memory.
Later, Sowmya approaches Adit, suggesting they hire a massage therapist for Kusum. Adit agrees and asks her to arrange it. Meanwhile, Mangal remains diligent in caring for Kusum.
Akshat soon asks Mangal for a chart from the storeroom for his project. She asks Sudesh to look after Kusum and goes with Akshat to fetch it. As they’re occupied, Sowmya disguises herself as a massage therapist and enters Kusum’s room, convincing Sudesh to leave by saying Mangal sent her.
In the storeroom, while Mangal hands the chart to Akshat, they suddenly realize the door is locked and begin banging on it. Eventually, Isha opens the door for them.
Meanwhile, in Kusum’s room, Sowmya injects her with a heavy dose of drugs. As Kusum struggles to see Sowmya’s face, the injection makes her feel dizzy. Just then, Mangal walks in, prompting Sowmya to escape through the window, injuring her foot in the process.
Sudesh returns and questions Mangal about the massage therapist. Confused, Mangal insists she never called for one, prompting her to ask Adit if he hired a “maalishwali.” Adit confirms he did. Sowmya arrives and tells Mangal to stop questioning everyone’s intentions.
Angrily, Mangal confronts Adit about how Kusum’s condition has deteriorated because of the mysterious therapist who vanished. Adit then declares that from now on, Mangal will have the final say in all decisions.
Meanwhile, Jia tells Prema that Gayatri is alive, and they rush to check in a room, only to find Sanjana there, who frightens them away.
Later, Lakshmi and Raghuveer arrive and ask Sanjana how she managed the situation. Sanjana recounts how she overheard Jia talking to Prema and manipulated events to her advantage.
In another storyline, Nidhi and Umesh visit Gayatri, who insists that her actions were solely for Karthik’s safety. The family rallies behind Lakshmi to save Karthik together.
Jia refuses to return home, but Prema warns her against trusting anyone, promising to prove Gayatri is alive and that they’re all involved in a deception.
Back at home, Raghuveer tells Lakshmi and the family that they will soon celebrate Karthik’s return. Suddenly, the doorbell rings, and Lakshmi finds a threatening letter. When Raghuveer reads it, he discovers a warning that Karthik will be harmed if Gayatri doesn’t stop her “ghost drama.”
Determined, Raghuveer decides to give the letter to the police to ensure Karthik’s security. Prema meets with the inspector, requesting that Karthik’s family have restricted access to him, to which the inspector confirms they are already doing.
Lakshmi arrives at the police station and hands over the threatening letter, urging the inspector to take action. However, when he opens it, he finds the page blank and accuses her of creating unnecessary drama. Realizing Prema is behind this scheme, Lakshmi feels a surge of anger.
With a smirk, Prema argues with Lakshmi, reiterating her request to restrict the family’s visits to Karthik. She recalls how she used a special pen that makes the ink disappear over time to write the threatening letter.
As Lakshmi prepares to leave, Prema approaches her with a dire warning to put an end to Gayatri’s “drama,” or Karthik will be in danger.
Later, Raghuveer finds Lakshmi in tears and asks her what’s wrong. She expresses her fears that Jia’s affection for Karthik is not genuine and emphasizes the seriousness of the threats they are facing.
In a nefarious turn, Prema bribes a woman to add something dangerous to Karthik’s food. Sensing imminent danger, Lakshmi resolves to visit the jail to safeguard Karthik.
The episode ends on this tense note, setting the stage for further confrontations ahead.
