The episode opens with a tense atmosphere as the inspector informs Mannat that there has been a disturbing trend of child kidnappings in the area. He suspects that Dua has fallen into the hands of the kidnappers, who specifically targeted her. This revelation sends a wave of fear through Mannat, who instinctively reaches out and grips Vikrant’s hand for comfort.
Sensing her anxiety, Vikrant reassures her, providing a sense of stability amid the chaos. Nearby, Yashika and Dhairya observe the interaction, and Dhairya’s discontent is evident; he does not appreciate Mannat holding Vikrant’s hand. In contrast, Yashika feels a pang of jealousy at the sight of their closeness.
Meanwhile, in a different location, Yuvi is in distress, shouting for help. Dua, trying to keep her composure, urges him to conserve his energy and focus on finding a way to escape from the confines of the room they are trapped in. Yuvi expresses his fear, prompting Dua to remind him of the time he had pushed her into the freezer without considering her safety. She points out that his actions contributed to their current predicament.
Dua observes that it seems they are being moved in the freezer, which raises alarms about the possibility of being taken far away from their parents, making it impossible for them to reunite. Yuvi pleads with Dua to think of a solution, highlighting the urgency of their situation. Back at the gathering, Mannat is increasingly worried about Dua’s whereabouts. Kumar approaches Vikrant with troubling news: Yuvi is missing.
Vikrant, taken aback, recalls that Yuvi was there just moments ago. Kumar insists that he has searched everywhere for him and cannot find him. Dhairya interjects, emphasizing the need to verify the situation personally, as it pertains to the safety of the children. Vikrant’s concern for Yuvi deepens, and he expresses his shock at the news. Dhairya raises a possibility that perhaps Yuvi was hidden away to protect him, but Vikrant is adamant about his shock and defends himself against the accusations.
In a heated exchange, Mallika accuses Mannat of framing Yuvi as the reason for Dua’s disappearance, suggesting that the same kidnappers may have taken Yuvi as well. Yashika chimes in, speculating that Bunty might be behind the entire situation due to his anger towards Yuvi. Mannat quickly comes to Bunty’s defense, stating that he has remained in the same spot since the investigation began, indicating his innocence.
The argument escalates as Mallika and Vishaka continue to blame Mannat, prompting Dhairya to step in and argue on her behalf. Vikrant, trying to restore order, asks everyone to cease the bickering. Mannat, frustrated, declares that arguing with those who refuse to see reason is futile, especially when the safety of their children is at stake. She insists that they need to find Dua as soon as possible, and Vikrant agrees with her urgency.
Back in the freezer, Dua turns to Yuvi and emphasizes the need to communicate their location to their parents. As Yuvi stands up, his phone slips from his grasp and falls to the ground. Dua picks it up, only to discover that there is no network coverage. However, she notices a flashlight and suggests they can use it to explore their surroundings. She recalls a manual that might help them unlock the door, and as she attempts to open it, she finds that it only budges slightly.
It becomes clear that Aishwarya has secured another lock from the outside, complicating their escape. Dua remembers a story Mannat once shared about Sita Devi leaving clues for Ram, and this inspires her. She decides to use the soft drink cans they have to create a trail that might alert their parents. One by one, she throws the cans out of the freezer, hoping someone will notice.
Meanwhile, Mannat grows increasingly suspicious of Aishwarya’s involvement in the kidnappings. Vikrant encourages Mannat to share any suspicions she has with the police, emphasizing that the children’s safety is paramount. Mannat confides in Dhairya, expressing her belief that Aishwarya is behind the abductions. Dhairya reassures her that he will keep a close watch on Aishwarya.
In the meantime, Aishwarya feigns concern for Yuvi, almost convincing Dhairya of her sincerity. However, Vishaka confronts Aishwarya, demanding to know what she has done to Yuvi. Aishwarya coldly admits that she has gotten rid of both Yuvi and Dua, revealing her true nature. Yashika, shocked, reminds Aishwarya that Yuvi is her own grandson, to which Aishwarya responds without remorse, stating that she would not hesitate to harm her own daughter if it meant protecting herself. She then pretends to apologize to Mallika, hoping to maintain her deceptive facade.
In the upcoming scenes, Mannat will venture outside in search of Dua. As she follows the clues left behind, she arrives at a critical location. Just as Aishwarya attempts to drive away with the truck containing the children, Mannat intervenes, determined to stop her and rescue Dua and Yuvi.
