The episode begins with Vikrant telling Neetu that Mannat will be living there starting today. Mannat arrives, and Neetu immediately protests, insisting that she can’t let her stay. Vikrant insists it’s necessary for Mannat’s safety, but Neetu reacts dramatically. Roni inquires about the situation, and Vikrant explains that Mannat lost her home in a fire and has nowhere else to go. He seeks Neetu’s approval for Mannat to stay, claiming it’s not a problem for him. Neetu remains adamant against letting Mannat reside there. Rajendran questions Neetu about her behavior, noting her past struggles. Vikrant suggests it’s not the right time to discuss everything, emphasizing his duty to take care of Mannat. Neetu escalates her objections, questioning Mannat’s sense of shame for being there. Mannat admits that coming was a mistake and offers to leave, acknowledging Vikrant’s previous help.
Vikrant halts her departure, prompting Neetu to scold him. He counters that she has never treated anyone this way and recalls how Neetu taught her to assist others. He urges Neetu to stop her derogatory remarks about Mannat. Aishwarya steps in, stating Mannat should be allowed to stay. Vikrant mentions that Mannat is his employee and he has the right to support her. Puneet advises Veena to refrain from getting involved, suggesting they enjoy the unfolding drama. Aishwarya proposes that Mannat can stay in the outhouse, but Kiran retorts that it’s only for servants. Vikrant firmly states she won’t be placed there. Mannat, however, expresses her willingness to stay in the outhouse, highlighting her status as an employee. Vikrant insists she’ll stay with them, reinforcing that she’s not just his employee but also a friend of Mallika. Mallika worries about potential misunderstandings and suggests Mannat stay with her.
Mannat asserts she doesn’t want to exploit their friendship and prefers the outhouse. Neetu continues to oppose this arrangement, but Vikrant remains resolute. Frustrated, Neetu storms off. Roni advises Mannat to ignore Neetu’s comments. Mannat mentions that Puneet should deduct her salary for staying there, which he agrees to. Vikrant plans to show her to the outhouse, and Neetu reprimands Mallika for not managing Vikrant’s decisions better. Aishwarya speculates that Vikrant permitted Mannat’s stay to keep an eye on things. Later, Vikrant assists Mannat in cleaning and organizing the space, leading her to thank him. She lies about not being hungry. Meanwhile, Neetu devises a plan to cut off electricity in the outhouse to intimidate Mannat. Aishwarya criticizes Shalini for not monitoring Mannat closely enough. Later, Boby is seen observing Mannat, who grows frightened and clings to Vikrant out of fear of the dark. Vikrant comforts her and offers her food.
