The episode opens with Mannat firmly asserting her identity to Aishwarya, declaring that she is not Soniya’s Mannat but Shruthi’s Mannat. She believes she deserves all the happiness in the world, a sentiment that resonates deeply with her. Vikrant, standing close to Aishwarya, expresses his gratitude for her support in uncovering the truth. He acknowledges that he appreciates her willingness to confront her mistakes, especially after watching the footage that revealed the reality of the situation. Aishwarya reflects on her choices, admitting that she should never have prioritized her family over the truth. Vikrant thanks her for her support, attributing much of their progress to Mannat’s unwavering commitment to justice. He praises her stubbornness, recognizing it as a vital trait in their fight for what is right. Mannat, however, humbly insists that all the credit belongs to Vikrant, but he quickly denies this, emphasizing her role in their cause.
As the conversation unfolds, Aishwarya recalls a moment when Mannat had threatened her using Vikrant’s name, a memory that brings a mix of emotions. Vikrant, sensing the need for action, advocates for Mannat, highlighting her talent and integrity. He believes she deserves a chance to work in their restaurant, and Aishwarya, after some contemplation, agrees to this proposal. Meanwhile, Mallika observes the unexpected shift in dynamics, puzzled by her own feelings. She had always wanted to separate Mannat from Vikrant, yet now she finds herself supporting Mannat, which confounds her.
In another part of the scene, Kiran approaches Gagan, seeking clarity about the recent court proceedings. She informs him that Aishwarya exposed Bobby in court, a revelation that had been long overdue. Aishwarya had been trying to shield his mistakes, but today, she ensured he faced justice and was sent to jail. Gagan, however, remains skeptical of Aishwarya’s true intentions. He warns Kiran not to be deceived by her seemingly innocent demeanor, asserting that Aishwarya is cunning and has a hidden agenda. He believes it is time to take decisive action against her.
As the narrative shifts, Vikrant notices that Mannat appears lost in thought, her mind preoccupied with the events unfolding around them. A nurse enters, delivering news that Neetu has regained consciousness. Despite this positive update, Vikrant is reluctant to meet her, still grappling with his feelings of anger and betrayal. Mannat, however, encourages him to confront his emotions and meet his mother. She tells Vikrant that he has every right to be angry at Neetu for her drastic actions, but she emphasizes that Neetu loves him deeply and would do anything to protect him. Mannat acknowledges her own mistake in resorting to self-harm and expresses her strong opposition to suicidal thoughts. She urges Vikrant to meet his mother, reminding him that they can argue later.
Reluctantly, Vikrant agrees to visit Neetu. Roni, witnessing the exchange, praises Mannat, stating that everyone deserves a daughter like her. He notes that despite sending Bobby to jail, it seems as though he is unaffected by the consequences of his actions. Roni suspects that Bobby may be manipulating the situation to gain sympathy. Meanwhile, tensions rise between Gagan and Aishwarya as they engage in a heated argument. Aishwarya threatens Gagan with jail time for domestic violence, while Kiran expresses her frustration, insisting they can no longer tolerate Aishwarya’s presence in their lives. Gagan assures Kiran that he will put an end to Aishwarya’s interference.
Later, Neetu expresses her remorse to Vikrant for her reckless behavior, worried about the implications of Raveena’s confession. Roni, standing by, praises Mannat in front of Neetu, but Neetu is internally conflicted, feeling the need to distance Mannat from her son. Despite her concerns, both Vikrant and Roni continue to commend Mannat, leaving Neetu feeling sidelined. As Vikrant prepares to leave, Neetu shares her sorrow with Roni, who reassures her that he will handle the situation.
Vikrant, grateful to Mannat for her encouragement, acknowledges her wisdom. Mannat playfully remarks that men only bow down to three women: their mothers, Devi Maa, and their lovers. Vikrant admires her spirit, and they share a moment of connection before he becomes preoccupied with checking the restaurant menu. Mannat assures Vikrant that she can return home on her own and does not require him to drop her off.
Meanwhile, Raveena confronts Roni, questioning whether he feels satisfied now that her husband is in jail. She blames Vikrant for everything, accusing him of enabling Mannat and her plans. Raveena threatens to expose the truth to Vikrant, vowing to ruin their happiness. Roni counters her claims, insisting that Bobby’s actions are the root of the problem and that he is merely facing the consequences of his mistakes. He warns Raveena not to exploit Vikrant’s innocence, threatening her to remain silent.
Aishwarya, observing the unfolding drama, contemplates her next move. She is determined to uncover the truth behind the chaos to manipulate the situation to her advantage. Aishwarya aims to solidify Vikrant and Mallika’s wedding plans, hoping to separate Mannat from their lives for good.
In a chance encounter, Gagan collides with Mannat, causing her to stumble. He takes this opportunity to caution her about Aishwarya, labeling her a dangerous woman. Gagan reveals that Aishwarya had offered money to Sunita to impersonate Mannat’s mother, a revelation that shocks Mannat. He encourages her to be cautious and warns her that Aishwarya is not to be underestimated. Aishwarya then confronts Mannat, asserting that she should limit her visits to their home. She explains that despite her efforts to protect Bobby and maintain their family’s reputation, she can no longer shield him after the evidence against him has come to light. Aishwarya expresses her concern for her own daughter, apologizing to Vikrant for the turmoil.
Vikrant, grateful for Aishwarya’s support, acknowledges her role in his fight for justice. However, Raveena, unable to contain her anger, storms out of the room, leaving Puneet to vent his frustration at his mother. Raveena advises Puneet to focus on taking over the family business, urging him to concentrate on his work rather than get entangled in family disputes.
As the episode concludes, Mannat uncovers information that Sunita has a brother, sparking her suspicion that Aishwarya may be orchestrating a larger scheme. The episode ends with Mannat contemplating the complexities of the situation, setting the stage for the challenges that lie ahead.
