The episode opens with Adit arriving at a business meeting, where Eisha inquires about Mangal. Ignoring her, Adit turns his attention to the business partners. Just then, Mangal walks in wearing a suit, but Christina makes a snide remark about her choice to wear vermillion in her hair and slippers with the formal attire, labeling her a “confused Indian woman.” Adit chastises Mangal for embarrassing them in front of everyone.
Meanwhile, Kusum is happily preparing food for the children, but Sowmya’s suspicions grow. Remembering how Kusum had previously claimed to be allergic to ghee, she suspects it might have all been a ruse to bring Mangal back into the house and resolves to uncover the truth.
During the meeting, Johnson encourages everyone to introduce themselves one at a time. When it’s the Indian team’s turn, Mangal is nowhere to be found. Adit believes it’s for the best, thinking her nervousness would lead to more embarrassment. Adit and Eisha then introduce themselves.
Mangal eventually reappears, now in a stunning saree. The team admires her new look, even Adit is taken aback by how good she looks compared to at home. However, Christina criticizes the saree as being inappropriate for the occasion. Mangal explains that the suit made her uncomfortable and didn’t reflect her true self, expressing her desire to present her authentic personality. Adit dismisses her remarks as incoherent, prompting Mangal to ask Eisha to translate. After the translation, the team praises Mangal’s style again.
Mangal introduces herself as a mother who manages catering and oversees accounts. Christina, attempting to undermine her, makes a derogatory comment about Indian cuisine, claiming they only know about curry. Mangal elegantly defends her culture, pledging to serve Christina traditional Indian food that would change her perspective. The team is impressed by her confidence, though Christina remains unimpressed.
Back at home, Kusum updates Shanti on the day’s events. Sowmya overhears their conversation and confronts Kusum, who lies to cover the truth. Sowmya, becoming increasingly irritated, senses that there’s more to the story.
Elsewhere, Adit accidentally answers an incoming call from Sowmya, who chastises him for ignoring her. He fumbles through a half-hearted excuse before abruptly ending the call. Frustrated, Sowmya feels he’s treating her like he once did Mangal, and vents her frustration by tearing through a pillow.
Back to Mangal, she connects with her children via video call while Adit dances with clients at the event. Christina, plotting to further humiliate Mangal, is interrupted when Eisha invites Mangal to join them on the dance floor, but she declines. Steve, stepping in to assist Mangal, is introduced by Eisha. Adit observes from a distance as Mangal interacts with Steve and leaves with him.
Meanwhile, Lakshmi alerts the inspector about Karthik’s critical condition, leading to his admission to the hospital. Raghuveer comforts a distressed Lakshmi, who blames herself for losing evidence and not keeping her promise to Karthik. He reassures her that it’s not her fault.
When Jia learns of Karthik’s situation, her heart breaks. The atmosphere intensifies when Gayathri’s son’s photo album unexpectedly catches fire, and Sanjay quickly intervenes to calm her down. Upon learning about Karthik’s suicide attempt, Gayathri rushes to the hospital, confronting Lakshmi and blaming her for not informing her sooner. Raghuveer defends Lakshmi, explaining that he only recently learned of Karthik’s troubles from the police. Infuriated, Gayathri tells him to stay out of her family’s issues.
As the confrontation escalates, Jia arrives and guessed the situation, provoking Lakshmi to the point of aggression. Raghuveer warns Lakshmi that Jia could exploit the current circumstances. Jia threatens to reveal Gayathri’s secrets to Karthik unless Lakshmi is removed from Karthik’s life. Gayathri reluctantly agrees and tells Lakshmi to stay away from her son. Lakshmi pleads for a final meeting with Karthik, but Gayathri firmly insists she must leave his life for good.
Encouraging Lakshmi, Raghuveer becomes a point of contention for Gayathri. Meanwhile, Karthik expresses a desire to see Lakshmi, prompting her to visit him. Raghuveer remarks on Karthik’s love for his wife, noting it surpasses his relationship with his mother.
The episode concludes with the tension between family dynamics and personal interests reaching a boiling point.
