The episode opens with a tense confrontation between Aishwarya and Mannat, where Aishwarya demands that Mannat pay her 20,000 in rent. Mannat, visibly distressed, asks how she is supposed to come up with that amount in just two days. Aishwarya retorts harshly, stating that Mannat should have thought about the consequences before messing everything up. She threatens Mannat with jail time for stealing her passport and ruining their family’s reputation. Aishwarya adds a cruel twist, mentioning that her mother is currently undergoing treatment in the hospital and that once she regains consciousness, the news of Mannat’s arrest could send her back into a coma. Aishwarya mocks Mannat’s predicament, reveling in her pain, which frustrates Vikrant, who stands nearby.
Feeling overwhelmed by the situation, Mannat decides to leave, while Aishwarya plots to make her life miserable, vowing to destroy her bit by bit. Later, Puneet approaches Vikrant with distressing news: all their reservations have been canceled, and their family’s image is deteriorating day by day. He warns Vikrant that if this continues, they might have to resort to selling street food. Vikrant, however, insists that he will handle everything and defends his support for Mannat, stating that he stood by her when she was right. Puneet challenges him, questioning what he would do if Mannat accused Roni instead of his father.
In a heated moment, Vikrant grabs Puneet by the collar, warning him not to involve his father in their disputes. Puneet counters that Vikrant seems indifferent to Mannat’s accusations against his father. Aishwarya intervenes, urging them to stop arguing, while Mallika joins the scene. Puneet suggests he will take care of the restaurant, but Vikrant criticizes him for how he handled their business in London, where he mistreated the staff and faced numerous legal issues. This leads to a verbal altercation between the two.
Aishwarya shifts the blame to Mallika, saying she should never have brought her friend into the restaurant. She expresses her frustration, accusing Mannat of trying to ruin their family’s reputation. Vikrant defends Mallika, admitting he was wrong to support Mannat but insists that Mallika’s intentions were good. Mallika proposes inviting a celebrity for a promotional event to create a positive impression for their restaurant, a suggestion that Vikrant finds appealing. Aishwarya, however, cynically comments that Mallika is trying to win Vikrant’s affection.
Meanwhile, Harneet approaches Mannat, offering her money, which Mannat initially refuses. Harneet becomes emotional and insists that Mannat accept the money, urging her to return it to Aishwarya. Harneet then questions Mannat about her certainty regarding Boby’s alleged molestation of Shalini, as she has not witnessed any wrongdoing herself. Mannat passionately defends her position, stating that Boby has a history of inappropriate behavior towards women. She explains that Raveena’s actions have undermined her evidence, but she remains firm in her belief that Boby is a womanizer and that someone has recorded his misconduct.
Later, Vikrant finds himself missing Mannat and decides to visit her. He reflects on how Mannat has been the source of his happiness, yet he never anticipated that she would cause his parents pain. Roni, trying to empathize, mentions how it hurts when someone they trust betrays them. Vikrant, feeling conflicted, expresses his frustration at having helped Mannat repeatedly, believing that giving her a chance would lead to her success. Roni counters that Mannat is not a liar; she is simply acting according to her perspective, seeking justice for Shalini.
As Vikrant grapples with these thoughts, Gagan brings alarming news: Mannat’s situation has made headlines in the media. The shock of seeing her recorded video on the news leaves Vikrant and Roni reeling. Mannat tries to explain her side of the story, but Puneet and Aishwarya continue to make things difficult for her. Mannat insists she did not contact the media, but Mallika, feeling betrayed, states that she is ashamed to call Mannat her friend, accusing her of betraying her family.
The tension escalates when the police arrive to arrest Mannat. Aishwarya coldly states that it is necessary to teach Mannat a lesson. Vikrant, unable to stand by, rushes to help Mannat, who is taken aback to see him there. He tells her that her mother is in a coma and needs her support. Vikrant offers to bail Mannat out under one condition: she must relocate to Delhi and work there. He assures her that he will cover her mother’s hospital expenses, leaving Mannat with a difficult choice: go to jail or move to Delhi.
The episode concludes with Mannat facing a crossroads, her future uncertain as she weighs her options.
