The episode begins with Ishana sharing troubling news with Kusum about an incident involving Adit and Kapil. Ishana reveals that Kapil slapped Adit in front of everyone, leaving Kusum shocked and concerned. Sowmya, equally taken aback, inquires whether Adit attended Mangal’s engagement, which prompts Ishana to label Kapil as evil. Sowmya then informs Kusum that Mangal played a role in Adit’s public humiliation, further intensifying the atmosphere of tension.
Meanwhile, Mangal confronts Kapil about the altercation. She acknowledges that Adit’s behavior at the engagement was inappropriate but reminds Kapil that his reaction—physically assaulting Adit in front of Ishana—was also a mistake. Mangal emphasizes that Ishana loves her father and that Kapil’s actions were unjustified. Recognizing his error, Kapil admits to losing control, explaining that he could not tolerate Adit’s insults toward Ishana and his mother. Mangal, while agreeing that Adit was wrong, points out that Kapil was in a position to exercise restraint. Kapil, showing remorse, pleads for forgiveness, expressing his inability to endure the humiliation of his mother. Mangal, understanding the emotional turmoil, reveals that she accepted the marriage for her mother’s sake, although Shanti prevented her from disclosing this to anyone.
In a separate confrontation, Sowmya attempts to manipulate Kusum by suggesting that Mangal is mistreating Adit. Sowmya escalates the situation by offering Kusum a knife, urging her to end Adit’s suffering by killing him. This shocking suggestion leaves Kusum stunned and confused, causing her to drop the knife in disbelief. Sowmya insists that Mangal is determined to ruin Adit, claiming she cannot bear to see him suffer. As Kusum grapples with this disturbing proposition, Sowmya feels a sense of triumph, believing she has successfully turned Kusum against Mangal.
Shanti soon arrives to inquire about the situation between Mangal and Kapil. Kapil explains that Mangal intends to visit Adit’s house, and he has offered to accompany her. However, when Kapil receives a phone call and steps away, Shanti warns Mangal against visiting Adit’s house, reminding her of the insults Adit directed at her, Kapil, and Pratima. Mangal asserts that she cannot remain in her current situation either, as she is not yet married. She mentions that Lipika informed her their new house will be ready the following day, suggesting they move there. Shanti agrees but insists that Mangal should not go to Adit’s house.
The next day, Shanti calls Kusum to inform her that Mangal will be coming to collect her belongings and instructs Kusum not to interfere. In response, Kusum accuses Shanti and her family of allowing Kapil to hit Adit. Shanti defends Kapil, explaining that he is a good person and that he and Pratima chose not to file a police complaint despite Adit’s drunken behavior at the engagement, which resulted in humiliation for Kapil and his mother. Shanti expresses that Mangal wishes to move on, but Adit continues to obstruct her. Firmly, Shanti urges Kusum not to engage in emotional manipulation to prevent Mangal from leaving, leading to a stunned silence on Kusum’s part.
Meanwhile, Adit awakens with a severe hangover. Kusum, frustrated and worried, splashes water on his face, demanding to know his whereabouts and actions from the previous night. Adit, in pain, asks her to leave him alone, but Kusum insists he swear an oath and confess what transpired. Despite Sowmya’s attempts to intervene, Kusum remains adamant. Eventually, Adit reluctantly admits to the incident. Kusum, enraged, raises her hand as if to strike him but stops short. She chastises him for his disgraceful behavior, stating that if she had been present, she would have slapped him multiple times for his actions. Adit attempts to defend himself, claiming he was not in control of his actions. Kusum demands that he apologize to Mangal and her family, but both Adit and Sowmya refuse. Kusum rebukes Sowmya for interfering and reiterates her demand for an apology, but Adit remains defiant and walks away.
At that moment, the doorbell rings. Kusum opens the door to find Mangal and Kapil standing there. Mangal discreetly hides her engagement ring from view. When Kusum inquires if Mangal has come to collect her belongings, Mangal nods in response. Kusum permits her to enter, and as Adit emerges from his room, dressed for work, he notices Mangal and Kapil. The memory of Kusum’s earlier words weighs on him as he approaches Mangal, setting the stage for further confrontation.
The episode concludes with a sense of unresolved tension, and the precap hints at Kusum making a request to Shanti, leaving viewers eager to see how these complex relationships will evolve in the next installment.
