The episode opens with Mannat in the kitchen, diligently preparing breakfast for Shruthi. The atmosphere is warm and inviting as Mannat focuses on her task. Shruthi enters, expressing her desire to visit Mezbani that day. She feels a strong urge to participate in the offering, believing it to be a blessing from God to provide food for orphans. As part of a traditional ritual, Shruthi hands Mannat a black thread, known as a kala dhaga, to ward off any evil eye. However, as Mannat takes the thread, she accidentally spills milk, prompting Shruthi to remark that this is an ominous sign, suggesting that something bad may happen. Despite Shruthi’s concerns, Mannat dismisses the idea, insisting that everything will be fine. Meanwhile, Mallika observes the situation, internally agreeing with Shruthi’s assessment and contemplating her own sinister plans.
In a separate scene, Mallika is seen discussing her devious intentions with Puneet. They plot to frame Mannat for the impending misfortune, revealing their malicious intent. Puneet cautions Mallika that it is crucial for them to ensure that no one reaches Mezbani before him, emphasizing the importance of timing in their scheme.
Back at the house, Mallika feigns an apology to Vikrant, attempting to gain his trust after having previously suspected him. She fabricates a story about her insecurities, claiming that she doubted him because she felt he was forced to marry her. Mallika enlists Neetu’s help to persuade Vikrant to forgive her. Vikrant, seemingly moved, tells her that he has already forgiven her. Kiran, sensing the tension, also apologizes to Vikrant for her previous rudeness. Mallika seizes the opportunity to suggest that the family attend the Mezbani event together to impress their clients. Vikrant nods in agreement but insists that they need to freshen up first. However, he quickly clarifies that he cannot wait too long, expressing concern about the worsening weather. This revelation causes Mallika to worry that Vikrant’s impatience may jeopardize her plans.
As the preparations continue, Aishwarya approaches Mallika, offering her assistance. Mallika, however, firmly declines, making it clear that their relationship remains unchanged despite the current circumstances. In a different part of the house, Puneet, disguised to avoid recognition, spots Shalini in the kitchen. He manages to send her away, allowing him to proceed with his malicious intentions. Puneet decides to mix poison into sugar, aiming to execute their plan against Mannat.
Meanwhile, Mannat welcomes a group of orphan children, greeting them with warmth and kindness. She hands out chocolates and leads them inside, embodying the spirit of generosity. Vikrant enters the scene, encouraging Aditya and motivating him as they move into the gathering area. Mallika, on the other hand, feels increasingly anxious during a puja ceremony. Aishwarya notices her distress and inquires about it, but Mallika remains tight-lipped, concealing her true feelings.
As Puneet prepares to mix the poison, he is unexpectedly bumped into by Derick, causing the poison to spill from his hands. Although initially startled, Puneet quickly recovers and sends a message to Mallika, informing her that Derick has disrupted his plan and that he no longer possesses the poison. He suggests that they should cancel their scheme, but Mallika is adamant that they cannot let this opportunity slip away. She expresses her determination to see Mannat imprisoned that day.
While Mannat continues to serve sweets to the children, she joyfully dances with them, feeding sweets to Vikrant, who is visibly pleased. Neetu, however, watches with disapproval, feeling a sense of jealousy. Roni advises her to remain calm and not to create a scene, acknowledging the importance of maintaining decorum during the event. Meanwhile, Mallika urges Puneet to proceed with their plan, insisting that he mix the poison into the sweets. Puneet expresses his concern about the potential effects on the children, questioning how much poison he should add and fearing that it could lead to dire consequences. Mallika reassures him that a small amount will suffice and that nothing will go wrong.
As they discuss the plan, Mannat informs Vikrant that they are out of wheat flour. She convinces him to buy some from Pintu uncle’s vendor, assuring him of its quality. Vikrant, initially skeptical, agrees after Mannat mentions that he has personally tasted it before and would not compromise on quality.
Later, Varun’s boss gives Pintu uncle a lift, and Pintu expresses his gratitude. Mannat thanks Pintu for his timely assistance, unaware of the brewing danger. In the meantime, Mallika successfully mixes the poison into the wheat flour, while Mannat begins cooking, blissfully ignorant of Mallika’s malicious intentions. Mallika revels in the thought of Mannat facing the consequences of challenging her.
As Mannat serves the food to the children, sharing her happiness with Gagan and Shruthi, the atmosphere is filled with joy. However, the scene takes a dark turn when the children suddenly begin to faint one by one. Mannat is left heartbroken and panicked, unable to comprehend what is happening. Mallika, observing the chaos, smirks, relishing the unfolding drama. Vikrant, noticing the commotion, inquires about the situation. Mannat, overwhelmed, insists that she has no idea what is wrong.
Meanwhile, Mallika sends a triumphant message to Puneet, celebrating the success of their plan and sharing her joy with Raveena. The episode ends on a cliffhanger, leaving viewers anxious about the fate of Mannat and the children.
