The episode begins with Adit eagerly asking Sowmya to accompany him to meet his father, Sudesh. Despite Sowmya’s initial reluctance, Adit insists on the importance of gaining Sudesh’s blessings, revealing that his father is unaware of their marriage. Adit’s determination leads Sowmya to agree, and they set off together.
Meanwhile, Kapil is anxiously waiting for Mangal’s arrival, inquiring with Jatin about her whereabouts. Jatin informs Kapil that Mangal has not yet arrived and mentions that there are rumors among the staff regarding Mangal facing difficulties at the market. Concerned for her well-being, Kapil attempts to contact Mangal, but his calls go unanswered. Driven by worry, he decides to head out and check on her personally.
As Adit and Sowmya arrive at Sudesh’s residence, Adit introduces Sowmya as his wife, hoping to receive Sudesh’s blessings. However, Sudesh’s demeanor shifts as he recalls a traumatic event involving Sowmya, specifically the moment she pushed him off a cliff. He confronts Adit with this memory, asserting that Sowmya is the one responsible for his suffering. Sowmya attempts to downplay Sudesh’s accusations, insisting that he is mistaken, but Sudesh remains adamant, clearly recognizing her.
Tensions escalate when Mangal arrives at the scene and immediately reacts to Sowmya’s presence. In a moment of protective instinct, she slaps Sowmya for her previous actions against Sudesh. Mangal turns to Adit, informing him that Sowmya has been the real antagonist, having falsely accused Mangal of wrongdoing.
Feeling cornered, Sowmya desperately tries to plead her innocence to Kusum, but Kusum is resolute in her disbelief, demanding that Sowmya leave the house. Adit, caught in the turmoil, is torn between his loyalty to Sowmya and the mounting evidence against her. Despite Sowmya’s pleas for Adit to trust her, the family stands united against her, leading to her expulsion from the home. Shocked and shaken by the turn of events, Sowmya begins to grapple with the harsh reality of her situation.
Later, Adit brings Sowmya back into the house and leads her to their room, reiterating his commitment to her by once again introducing her as his wife to Sudesh. However, Sudesh remains in a daze, seemingly disconnected from the unfolding drama around him. Mangal observes Sudesh’s condition and expresses concern about his exhaustion, suggesting that he needs proper rest to recover fully. She emphasizes that only then will they be able to uncover the truth about his disappearance and the events that transpired during that time. Adit agrees with Mangal’s assessment while Sowmya excuses herself, claiming she has an important call related to her work.
At the entrance, Ishana greets Kapil warmly, inviting him to sit down. Adit, curious about Kapil’s visit, asks if he came to see Mangal. Mangal soon arrives, noticing that Kapil appears tense. He shares his concerns about the recent chaos at the market, expressing regret for having sent Mangal there. Mangal reassures him that the situation ultimately turned out well, as it allowed her to meet Sudesh, her father-in-law. She reflects on how her father played a crucial role in connecting her with Kapil through the Pehla Swad initiative.
Kapil expresses admiration for Mangal’s selflessness, to which she responds by acknowledging the influence of Adit’s parents in shaping her character. She articulates her gratitude for their support, despite Adit’s departure from her life. In a gesture of respect, Kapil folds his hands in a traditional greeting and offers her food, assuming she hasn’t eaten. Mangal gratefully accepts, and they share a meal together. During their conversation, Kapil advises Mangal to ensure Sudesh receives a health checkup, and she agrees, recognizing the importance of his well-being.
Later that night, Sowmya is consumed by thoughts of her precarious situation. She realizes that Sudesh must remain in his current state, as any recovery could reveal her secrets. Suddenly, she is startled to see Sudesh appear before her, heightening her anxiety. Just then, Kusum arrives and takes Sudesh away, leaving Sowmya feeling increasingly unsettled. Mangal, noticing Sowmya’s distress, begins to ponder the source of her anxiety.
The following morning, Sowmya prepares a food tray, plotting to act swiftly before Sudesh can potentially expose her. Meanwhile, Kusum engages in a ritual, applying sindoor and tying a mangalsutra around her neck, symbolizing her marital bond. Mangal expresses her happiness in this moment, while Kusum shares her lingering concerns about Sudesh’s health, questioning whether he will ever return to normalcy. Mangal offers reassurance, promising that recovery will come soon.
As the episode draws to a close, the atmosphere is thick with tension and uncertainty, leaving viewers eager to see how the unfolding drama will impact the relationships between the characters and the revelations that lie ahead.
