The episode begins with a charged confrontation. Mangal corners Sowmya, accusing her of inflicting suffering upon her family and declaring her intention to expose Sowmya’s misdeeds. Mangal desperately attempts to reach Adit, seeking his support and understanding, but her calls remain unanswered, heightening her frustration and sense of isolation. The escalating tension is briefly interrupted by the unexpected arrival of Akshat, momentarily shifting the focus.
In a parallel storyline, Adit grapples with the agonizing uncertainty surrounding his missing father. Seeking assistance from law enforcement, he turns to the police, hoping for any news or leads. The police inspector delivers devastating news, presenting Adit with a collection of recovered belongings that are unmistakably identified as belonging to Sudesh. The inspector somberly informs Adit that Sudesh is presumed dead, a grim conclusion based on the available evidence, and that efforts are underway to recover his body from a treacherous location. Overwhelmed by grief and despair, Adit is emotionally shattered by the confirmation of his father’s likely demise.
Meanwhile, Sowmya privately berates herself for a misstep in her carefully constructed plans, lamenting the potential consequences of her actions. Akshat remains detached from the emotional turmoil engulfing the household, seemingly oblivious to the unfolding drama. Mangal, increasingly concerned about Adit’s emotional state and persistent unavailability, decides to confide in Kusum, seeking solace and support. She lures Kusum outside, claiming to have important information to share, setting the stage for a dramatic revelation. However, their conversation is preempted by the unexpected arrival of Adit, who returns home bearing Sudesh’s personal belongings. Adit shares the heartbreaking news: Sudesh is dead and they are unable to recover his body.
Kusum refuses to accept the grim news. Sowmya secretly rejoices. Suddenly, Kusum collapses, prompting panic as Adit and Mangal rush to her aid. Adit instructs Sowmya to call for a doctor.
A medical professional arrives and explains that Kusum lost consciousness due to high blood pressure, prescribing medication to stabilize her condition. Mangal, deeply concerned about Kusum’s well-being and seeking further information about her dietary needs, follows the doctor.
Driven by a burning determination to expose Sowmya’s treachery, Mangal witnesses Adit and Sowmya departing together. Seizing the opportunity, she attempts to reveal the truth to Adit. A technician arrives to trace the message sent to Sudesh, falsely claiming it originated from the city hospital. Mangal suspects Sowmya bribed the technician, who denies the accusation, and Adit dismisses him.
Mangal pleads with Adit to believe her innocence, insisting that Sowmya is deliberately framing her. Sowmya retorts. Adit then notices Sowmya hiding her face. Sowmya removes the scarf, revealing a slap mark.
Adit demands an explanation from Mangal, who accuses Sowmya of diversion. Adit rebukes Mangal and warns her to stay away from his family. The episode concludes with fractured relationships and unresolved tensions.
