The episode begins with Dua struggling to open the freezer door, feeling a biting cold that sends shivers down her spine. As she battles against the icy barrier, memories of Vikrant’s encouraging words flood her mind. He had advised her to concentrate and believe in herself, emphasizing the importance of self-motivation to complete her cooking with confidence. Inspired by his encouragement, Dua takes a deep breath and resolves to push through her current predicament, reminding herself of her strength.
Meanwhile, Aadhya reaches out to Mannat with warm Holi wishes, but she quickly notices that Mannat’s voice sounds unusually dull. Concerned, Aadhya asks her what’s wrong. Mannat reveals that Dua is missing; she had come to Mumbai for Neetu’s surgery but has since vanished in Mezbani. Aadhya reassures Mannat, saying that Dua is an intelligent child and expresses her belief that Vikrant is unaware that Dua is his own daughter.
She insists that despite any misunderstandings between them, Vikrant’s paternal instincts will surely protect Dua. Aadhya promises to help by organizing a live stream for Dua, hoping that if anyone sees her, they will provide information. Grateful for Aadhya’s support, Mannat resolves to continue searching for Dua.
As Mannat searches, Dua hears her voice from afar and pleads for help. Just then, Dhairya calls out Mannat’s name, hoping that he might lead them to Dua. Dhairya tells Mannat that he has found a shoe belonging to Dua at the location, which sends Mannat into a spiral of despair. She hugs the shoe tightly, tears streaming down her face as she cries out in anguish over her daughter’s disappearance. Dhairya comforts her, assuring her that he will do everything in his power to find Dua. He contacts a friend for assistance, informing him that his daughter is missing and requesting that his team be dispatched to help locate her.
Meanwhile, Yuvi, who is listening in, feels a chill of fear at the mention of Dua’s disappearance. Aishwarya arrives with the police, catching Yuvi off guard. Memories of Mallika’s ominous words echo in his mind, warning him that if Vikrant discovers the truth, he could end up in a juvenile facility. Vishaka, confused, asks Mallika about her mother’s actions, questioning why she has brought the police into the situation. Aishwarya insists that the police need to act quickly to find Dua, labeling the case as serious. Vikrant and Dhairya provide the police with details about Dua, emphasizing the urgency of the situation.
Mallika confronts Aishwarya, questioning her motives for bringing the police. Aishwarya explains that she wants to maintain her image in front of Vikrant, believing that involving the police will deflect any suspicion away from her. Vishaka expresses concern about potential interrogation, but Aishwarya brushes this off, demanding that they all show their fake concern for Dua to avoid raising any alarms.
In the meantime, Yuvi is increasingly anxious about the police presence, fearing that Dhairya might arrest him and that Vikrant would send him to a juvenile facility. Kumar tries to reassure Bunty, telling him that his friend will return with good news. Bunty expresses his faith in Dhairya, confident that as a police officer, he will find Dua and bring her back safely. However, Yuvi’s fear intensifies as he notices Aishwarya watching him closely, worried that he might disrupt her plans.
Desperate to help Dua, Yuvi attempts to break the lock on the freezer door. He successfully opens it and reaches out his hand to her, but just as he does, Aishwarya pushes him inside and locks the door behind him. She has hired security to remove the freezer from the premises, ensuring that their plan remains intact. Both Yuvi and Dua shout for help, their voices echoing in the cold darkness.
Meanwhile, the police express their desire to interrogate Yuvi, prompting Kumar to leave and fetch him. Vishaka grows anxious, fearing that Yuvi might inadvertently reveal the truth to the authorities. The police inform Mannat that there have been several recent kidnapping cases in the area and suspect that a gang might be behind Dua’s disappearance too. Mannat is left in shock, grappling with the implications of this news.
In the preview for the next episode, Dua tells Yuvi that they must devise a plan to escape, or they may never see their parents again. Mannat, determined to uncover the truth, begins to suspect that Aishwarya is behind the entire ordeal.
