The episode begins with the chef inciting Mallika against Vikrant, causing an emotional scene. Mannat intervenes, asking the chef to leave. As Mallika embraces Mannat in tears, she expresses her humiliation at being disrespected by Vikrant in front of everyone. Mannat questions why Mallika didn’t inform her about her engagement with Vikrant, to which Mallika replies that she was unaware of it; her mother announced the engagement without telling her.
Later, Neetu approaches Vikrant, trying to talk, but he refuses, insisting he needs to be alone. Meanwhile, Mannat speculates to Mallika that Vikrant may not have known about the engagement either, which could explain his reaction. Mallika asks Mannat whom she is supporting, to which Mannat replies that she is supporting her friend. Mallika laments that Vikrant publicly insulted her, while Mannat agrees that it was inappropriate. Mannat asks if Mallika has any feelings for Vikrant, and Mallika explains that her mother had planned for her to marry him.
Mallika describes Vikrant as hardworking, sweet, and friendly. Mannat encourages Mallika to talk to Vikrant and clarify her feelings about not wanting the engagement, believing that this could resolve their issues. Aishwarya overhears their conversation. Over with Vikrant, Neetu tells him she had no involvement in the engagement preparations, stating it was Aishwarya’s plan. She explains that Aishwarya convinced his father to agree and that she would have informed him if she had known about it beforehand. Vikrant questions why she didn’t tell him sooner, and Neetu explains that Aishwarya announced the engagement before she could.
Vikrant questions her why she didn’t tell him sooner. She replies that she attempted to inform him, but Aishwarya proclaimed the engagement beforehand. Mallika is involved in this plan, which is why she was holding on to her. He requests some time alone. Meanwhile, Aishwarya shoves Mannat aside, seizing a knife. With fury, she threatens Mannat, demanding to know how she dared to turn her daughter against her. She orders Mannat to leave. In fear, Mannat hurries out and stops when she sees Vikrant.
Aishwarya confronts Mallika, asking why she didn’t communicate earlier about wanting to marry Vikrant. She questions why Mallika wasn’t able to win his heart and why he halted the engagement. Mallika responds that she didn’t have the opportunity. Aishwarya retorts that while Mallika had time to create social media content and assist Mannat, she lacked time to leave a lasting impression on Vikrant. Aishwarya accuses her of underestimating her daughter, suggesting that Mannat is using their friendship for a ticket to a luxurious life, oblivious to struggles faced by the less fortunate. She incites animosity towards Mannat.
Meanwhile, Mannat rebukes Vikrant for humiliating Mallika in front of everyone. She explains the situation and urges him to apologize to Mallika to resolve the issue. Mallika misinterprets their bond. Mannat attempts to reason with Mallika, but Mallika lashes out and severs ties with her. Feeling crushed by the misunderstanding, Mannat watches as Vikrant apologizes to Mallika and reveals that Mannat stood up for him. They clear the air, leaving Mallika feeling remorseful for misjudging Mannat.
