The episode begins with Mallika speaking to Vishaka about the need to pay the actors involved in their upcoming Diwali celebration. Mallika expresses her admiration for their acting skills, noting that she has yet to see her mother, Aishwarya, perform. She playfully mentions that once she witnesses her mother’s acting, she will surely become her biggest fan. Addressing Vishaka as “Vish aunty,” Mallika comments that the name suits her well. Meanwhile, Mannat is under the impression that Mallika is organizing a donation drive for the Diwali function, and she observes that Vishaka is supporting this initiative. However, Mannat’s instincts tell her that something is amiss, prompting her to investigate further.
As the plot unfolds, Mallika makes a call to Aishwarya, informing her that Vishaka has reached out for assistance. Aishwarya praises Mallika for her clever strategy. Just then, Mannat enters the scene, causing Mallika to quickly hide. Mannat confronts Vishaka directly, questioning her intentions for the Diwali celebration at the police colony. She warns Vishaka that she will do everything in her power to protect Vikrant and will not allow any harm to come to him. Vishaka, taken aback, insists that Mannat has misunderstood her motives.
Vishaka reassures Mannat that she has no intention of hurting Vikrant, as he is her son. Mannat retorts that being a mother is more than just a title; it requires genuine care and love, which she believes Vishaka lacks. She shares her own painful experience, mentioning that although Aishwarya gave birth to her, she abandoned her, leaving her to be raised by Shruti, who truly cared for her. Vishaka, feeling the weight of Mannat’s words, reveals that she has not yet disclosed the full truth to Vikrant. She explains that Dhairya advised her to keep certain secrets hidden, which is why she has remained silent. Despite her assurances, Mannat remains resolute in her determination to protect Vikrant from any potential harm.
Unbeknownst to them, Aishwarya has been listening to their conversation. She expresses to Mallika that as Mannat’s mother, she cannot predict her daughter’s next move, which adds an element of tension to the situation. Mallika reassures Vishaka that their plans will proceed as intended.
Later, Susheela is contemplating reaching out to Dhairya to expose Vishaka’s true nature. At that moment, a ward boy arrives to deliver food to Susheela, and she notices a laundry van waiting outside. Seizing the opportunity, she concocts a plan to escape. Pretending to be possessed, she distracts the ward boy, overpowers him, and makes a run for it.
Meanwhile, Dhairya is on the phone with a nurse, inquiring about a call he received from Happy Home. The nurse lies, claiming that no one contacted him. Dhairya insists on receiving a list of patients, but soon after, the ward boy alerts the nurse that the alarm has gone off because Susheela has escaped. The nurse instructs him not to mention Susheela’s name to Dhairya and orders him to search for her instead.
Later, Mannat calls Dhairya, inviting him to the Diwali event. He declines, expressing concern that someone might reveal his true identity to Vikrant by disclosing that Vishaka is his mother. Their conversation is light-hearted, filled with playful banter, until Vikrant arrives. He informs Dhairya that he will not be attending the event, and Roni mentions that he has contacted a lawyer. Mannat, in a moment of jest, claims that she asked the lawyer to transfer her shares, adding to the lightness of the moment. However, Vishaka then takes Vikrant away, and Mannat stops Roni from transferring property to Vishaka’s name. She reassures him that she will find a way to prevent that from happening.
In the precap, Mannat overhears a conversation between Mallika and Aishwarya, which raises her suspicions further. As she tries to alert Roni about what she has heard, Mallika suddenly attacks Mannat from behind, leaving viewers eager to see what will unfold next.
