The episode opens with Vikrant feeding Mannat, which sparks jealousy in Mallika. Aishwarya questions her presence, to which Mallika responds that Neetu suggested cutting off the electricity. Aishwarya advises her to avoid following such terrible advice, noting that it only brings Vikrant and Mannat closer together. She then leads Mallika away. Mannat reflects on Neetu, telling Vikrant that Neetu cares for him deeply, which is why she scolds her often. He reassures her that his mom is just a bit possessive, so she shouldn’t take her words to heart. Mannat replies that she doesn’t mind the teasing; it’s a form of love. Vikrant looks at her with admiration.
Later, Aishwarya prepares herself while Mallika informs her that both Vikrant and Mannat have gone out to a restaurant together. Mallika suspects that Mannat will stir up trouble to gain Vikrant’s attention and is exploiting Vikrant’s sympathy for her so-called mom. She reveals that Shruthi isn’t Mannat’s real mother, but her aunt, claiming that her biological mother abandoned her at sea. Mannat asked Mallika to keep that secret, but Mallika blurted it out, leading to confusion since she believed her own mother was dead.
Aishwarya realizes that this means Shruthi hasn’t shared the complete truth with Mannat and is intent on stopping her from unearthing it. Meanwhile, Mannat is organizing a birthday cake for customers and discovers they are celebrating their late mother’s birthday. Shocked by their photo, she assumes they might be her siblings and calls a doctor to see if they could donate their liver for Shruthi.
In another scene, Vikrant connects with a client who praises Roni for his excellent son. Vikrant receives a notification about an AC order, signaling his assistant not to mention it to his father, but it doesn’t work. Roni begins to tease Vikrant once he hears about the AC intended for Mannat, joking that it’s sweltering, hence the order for her comfort. He suggests that Vikrant is more than just a boss, hinting at romantic feelings. Vikrant denies it, but his father points out how anxious Vikrant becomes at the mention of Mannat’s name, implying that he has crossed into deeper feelings beyond friendship.
When Mannat arrives, Vikrant stares at her, lost in thought. Aishwarya worries that Mannat shouldn’t discover the truth and searches her house for any clues, missing the ring on the servant’s hand. Vikrant then invites Mannat to join him, leaving her confused while pretending to speak with Puneet. Mannat interacts with the customers, learning about their mother and feeling a sense of deception as she realizes that she may have been misled. Confronting Harneet, she emotionally pressures her to unveil the truth, only to get confirmation that her mother is alive. Mannat accuses them of betraying her trust by hiding the truth.
In a parallel plot, Aishwarya learns that the agent responsible for her fake abroad identity has been arrested, and his office has burned down, leaving her to feel that the evidence against her has vanished. Mannat turns to God to express her sorrow.
The episode concludes.
