The episode opens with a tender moment between Vikrant and Mannat as he helps her tie her hair. Their eyes lock in a shared connection, but this intimate scene is quickly disrupted by Neetu, who enters the room with a frown. Seeing them together stirs her anger, and she confronts Vikrant, demanding to know what he is doing there. Vikrant, sensing her hostility, feigns annoyance at Mannat for not covering her hair with a cap while preparing a cake, warning her that hair falling into the cake would be unacceptable.
Just then, Mallika arrives on the scene, sensing the tension. She advises Neetu not to take Vikrant’s behavior towards Mannat too seriously, attempting to diffuse the situation. Mallika then turns to Vikrant, reminding him that he wanted to discuss something important with her. He nods in agreement, but his attention quickly shifts back to Mannat. He warns her not to cause any problems during the engagement function, asserting that he cannot allow any disruptions.
Neetu, still skeptical, questions Vikrant’s presence, insisting that Mannat is simply preparing a cake. Vikrant claims he has come specifically to check on the cake, emphasizing his desire to ensure that nothing ruins the function. He instructs Mannat to change her dress immediately, asserting that her current outfit is inappropriate for the occasion. Neetu challenges him, asking why Mannat should even attend the function. Vikrant insists that she must bring the cake and criticizes her attire, suggesting she could learn a thing or two from Mallika, who looks lovely in her dress. Neetu beams at Vikrant’s compliment toward Mallika, momentarily distracted from her irritation.
As Vikrant pretends to scold Mannat, he departs, leaving behind a mix of emotions. Mallika, feeling threatened by the budding connection between Vikrant and Mannat, contemplates her next move. She fears that if she sabotages Mannat’s cake, Vikrant will turn against her, but she is convinced that Puneet and Anu will back her up. Vikrant, on the other hand, is determined not to let anyone ruin the day and is increasingly drawn to Mannat, believing he will eventually have to push her out of his life to keep Mallika close.
Meanwhile, Aishwarya is seen plotting in the kitchen, having secretly added medicine to the food. She thinks to herself that she cannot act against Sunita until she is unconscious. Gagan, noticing her distracted demeanor, questions her intentions. Aishwarya snaps back, telling him to focus on his drinks rather than her plans. Gagan, sensing trouble, confronts her about her dangerous behavior, and in a moment of intimidation, Aishwarya places a knife against his neck, threatening him. Gagan retorts, asking if she plans to kill him like she tried to do with Sunita.
Back in the living area, Mannat approaches Vikrant, eager to know what he wanted to discuss. In a surprising gesture, he reveals a pendant, prompting her to ask him to help her wear it. Vikrant tells her that he knows she loves it, which leaves Mannat in shock. He confesses that he has fallen for her deeply, admitting he does not understand how it happened but feels certain that she is the one for him. This heartfelt admission strikes a chord with Mannat, but Mallika, who overhears, feels her heart sink at the realization that Vikrant’s affections are directed towards Mannat.
Determined to keep the peace, Mannat thinks that if she can deliver the cake to Vikrant, it might calm him down. However, as she approaches, Vikrant and Mallika quickly hide the pendant from her view. Mallika fabricates a story, claiming she had arranged a dress for Mannat but that Vikrant insisted she wouldn’t wear it. Vikrant pretends to be upset with Mallika, but Mannat catches a glimpse of them embracing, thanking each other, and her heart sinks.
Vikrant, reflecting on his feelings for Mannat, wonders if he is pushing things too far. Confident in his ability to win her over, he listens to Mallika’s suggestion that he should not propose to Mannat just yet. Instead, she offers to create a romantic setting for the proposal, which he gratefully accepts. Mallika, however, secretly plots to thwart their union, determined to keep Vikrant for herself.
Meanwhile, Mannat confides in Harneet, expressing her concern for Sunita and urging her to keep a close watch on her. She mentions that Sunita has not regained consciousness yet and that time is running out. Harneet reassures her, offering comfort amidst the chaos. Gagan praises the couple while Roni gives a speech, setting a festive atmosphere. However, unbeknownst to everyone, Mallika has poisoned Mannat’s cake, convinced that Mannat should not be allowed to enter Vikrant’s life. She resolves to separate them forever.
Aishwarya, still scheming, instructs her goon to administer the medicine to Harneet, planning to eliminate Sunita after she falls asleep. As Mannat goes to change into a more suitable dress, Roni encourages Vikrant to propose to her without delay. But Mallika is determined to prevent this from happening at all costs.
As the goon slips the tainted food to Harneet, she consumes it without knowing the danger lurking within. The Salooja family continues to enjoy the wedding festivities, blissfully unaware of the dark intentions that threaten to unfold around them.
The episode concludes.
