The episode begins with Vikrant noticing the name of Shruthi Khanna registered in the entry book at the gurudwara. This sparks a thought in his mind: is Mannat visiting the gurudwara for Shruthi, or is there someone else involved? Meanwhile, Dua is engaged in a discussion with Bunty about an upcoming cooking competition. She expresses her reluctance to participate, explaining that the event will take place in Mumbai, a city her mother despises.
Bunty, however, points out that the prize money is a substantial 10 lakhs. Dua contemplates the possibility that winning could resolve all her mother’s problems. In a moment of hope, she prays to Shruthi, asking for her blessings to succeed in the competition. Just then, a flower falls from Shruthi’s photo, which seems to reinforce her prayer.
Later, Mannat and Vikrant are seen serving food to the devotees at the gurudwara. As Vikrant works, he becomes acutely aware of Mannat’s presence nearby and can’t help but stare at her. His attention is interrupted when Yashika pulls him away, diverting his focus.
Afterward, Dua is busy cooking and asks Roni to taste her dish. Dhairya, who is also present, praises her cooking skills. Excitedly, Dua informs him about the cooking competition she wishes to enter. However, Dhairya expresses doubt, stating that her mother is unlikely to allow her to participate. Frustrated, Dua complains that because of this restriction, Dhairya isn’t appearing in her dreams. She reveals that her ambition is to become a chef, and her favorite chef has been a constant source of motivation for her. After some convincing, she manages to persuade Dhairya to speak with Mannat about her desire to enter the competition. Intrigued, Dhairya expresses a wish to meet her favorite chef, to which Dua readily agrees.
Meanwhile, Mannat is at the gurudwara, praying for Shruthi. She confides her feelings of grief to the Babaji, expressing how much she misses Shruthi in her life. At this moment, Vikrant sits beside her, and as their dupatta falls over them, it triggers memories of Mannat’s past. Overwhelmed, she decides to walk away, but Vikrant is drawn to her and follows her closely. Suddenly, a loud thunder strikes, causing Mannat to pause. She recalls her vow to no longer be afraid of thunder and begins to chant Babaji’s name as she walks away. Vikrant, however, is confused; he thinks to himself that this woman cannot be Mannat, as she seems frightened by the thunder. He feels a sense of restlessness around her, as if Babaji is trying to convey something important.
As Vikrant continues to follow her, he tries to catch a glimpse of her face. Just then, Arzoo’s car passes by, splashing mud water onto her. A crowd gathers around Mannat to help her, but Vikrant fails to see her face clearly. He offers her his kerchief, and his assistant informs him that Arzoo has also visited the gurudwara, presenting a good opportunity for him to connect with her.
In another part of the gurudwara, Arzoo is making comments about Vishaka, which angers Vishaka. Mallika steps in to calm the situation down. Meanwhile, Mannat remains unaware of Vikrant’s presence nearby. Later, Dua struggles to record a video for her audition while Dhairya keeps distracting her, making it difficult for her to achieve a proper take. Frustrated, she scolds him for ruining her efforts, and Dhairya quickly apologizes.
Vikrant, on the other hand, attempts to engage Arzoo in conversation, but she refuses to discuss business matters in the sacred space of the gurudwara. Respecting her wishes, Vikrant advises his assistant to honor her privacy. In a separate moment, Mannat makes a video call to Dhairya, but Dua worries about getting caught. She pleads with him to keep the truth from Mannat, and Dhairya lies, saying that Dua is upset with Mannat for leaving without saying goodbye. He adds that he is helping her bake a cake for Shruthi. Dua quickly counters that they don’t know how to cook and insists she must do it alone. Almost letting slip that she is in Mumbai, Mannat manages to cover up her mistake.
Later, Vikrant instructs his assistant to gather more information about Arzoo before considering her as a business partner. Just then, Yashika arrives, and Yuvraj compliments her appearance. However, Mallika quickly criticizes Yashika, and Yuvraj makes a lighthearted joke at her expense, prompting Vikrant to intervene and advise him to be more respectful.
Towards the end of the episode, Dua expresses her feelings for Dhairya, telling him that he means everything to her. They share a heartfelt hug, solidifying their bond. Roni reminds Dua that they need to record the audition video soon, or else she will be late.
In the precap, an unexpected encounter occurs as Vikrant accidentally crosses paths with Mannat at a wedding, setting the stage for further developments in their story.
