The episode opens with Mallika expressing her frustration to Mannat about the series of unfortunate events happening that day, including her injury and her mother’s anger. She asks Mannat to select a dress from her collection for an upcoming interview, but Mannat suggests Mallika pick one for her instead. Meanwhile, Kiran blames Aishwarya for Mallika’s mistakes, with her husband siding with her. Mallika stands her ground, insisting she won’t shift blame for her child’s errors and promises to confront them about it.
Mallika then advises Mannat to drape herself in a dupatta and swap her bag for something more fitting. As she attempts to lead Mannat out of her room, they encounter her mother, Aishwarya, who is preoccupied with coffee. Mannat fears she might lose her job if Aishwarya spots her, prompting her to sneak away. Aishwarya wonders who adds sugar to black coffee and heads to the kitchen, where she unknowingly finds Mannat hiding. Mannat accidentally leaves behind her bracelet as she slips away.
Shruti prays for Mannat’s success, while Aishwarya’s curiosity is piqued when she hears a ringtone, leading her to confront Mannat. When Aishwarya orders guards to catch her, she finds Mannat’s bracelet on the floor and realizes it belonged to the girl she saw with Vickrant in the helicopter. Determined to protect her daughter’s happiness, Aishwarya plots to confront Mannat.
Meanwhile, Mannat takes an auto to the restaurant, relieved to have avoided Aishwarya, as she believes her anger could jeopardize her job. Later, Aishwarya chastises Mallika for being dishonest. Mallika apologizes for withholding the truth, stating she was dealing with her own issues. Aishwarya demands that Mallika stay close to Vickrant, emphasizing that her only job is to be with him in India.
Mallika explains that she intended to apologize to Vickrant post-party, but he was out and had not communicated anything to his staff. Aishwarya suspects he is spending time with his girlfriend. The scene shifts as Aishwarya talks to her father-in-law, and Vickrant arrives to seek his blessings, expressing hope that his prayers will be answered. Aishwarya questions Vickrant about any new friends, to which he replies he has been too busy and mentions a trip to Gurudwara, claiming he was alone. Aishwarya is doubtful, convinced he is hiding something.
As Mannat awaits her turn during the interview, she realizes her lucky bracelet is missing. Aishwarya, rejecting candidates from poorer backgrounds, calls Mannat’s number, leading to a tense face-off between mother and daughter at the end of the episode.
