The episode opens with Aishwarya reprimanding her assistant for being late. She insists that she go to the local market to buy alcohol. Meanwhile, Shruthi asks Mannat about her day at the restaurant, to which Mannat lies and claims it was good. Shruthi probes further, asking if Aishwarya spoke to her today. Mannat replies that Aishwarya didn’t visit the restaurant, so how could she speak with her? As Mannat praises Aishwarya, Shruthi’s frustration grows.
In another scene, Aishwarya’s assistant accidentally bumps into a drunken man, leading to a confrontation. Aishwarya intervenes by smashing a bottle over the man’s head, angrily defending her assistant. Observing this, her assistant thinks Aishwarya is acting like a rowdy. Aishwarya orders her not to tell anyone about the incident, noting that she bought the alcohol to welcome a special guest who will award her restaurant a food certificate.
Later, Shruthi questions Mannat about Aishwarya, and Mannat shares what she knows. She reveals that tomorrow is an important day for her and Mezbani, expressing her desire to get up early and head to the restaurant. Shruthi remains silent, not responding to her request.
The next morning, Vikrant is busy checking the arrangements as he feels nervous about the upcoming inspection of his restaurant. Mannat brings him a cup of coffee to help kickstart the day, offering words of encouragement. Vikrant thanks her for the support. Puneet notices Mannat’s absence and thinks she is running late. Mannat arrives, informing him that she had already completed all the dishes on the menu list before anyone else. She emphasizes that this work is not just a pastime for her; it’s her dream. Shruthi, speaking to Harneet, expresses her concern for Mannat’s safety, fearing that Aishwarya, being cunning, might go to great lengths to harm her if she discovers the truth.
Meanwhile, Aishwarya’s assistant delivers coffee to the chef, claiming it’s a special brew from her. However, she secretly gives Mannat a spiked coffee. Mannat notices a strange smell and hesitates to drink it. Aishwarya, insisting it’s a special coffee, questions Mannat on whether she likes the taste. Mannat lies, saying that she does. Aishwarya claims she sent them their favorite coffee, urging everyone to enjoy it. She mentions to Puneet that since the inspector is a woman, Mannat should handle everything, emphasizing her importance as the face of the restaurant. Though Puneet is uncomfortable with this, he relays it to Mannat, who nods in acknowledgment.
As Aishwarya instructs her assistant to follow her orders, she plots to sabotage Vikrant’s dream of earning the food certificate, intending for him to return to London with her. Meanwhile, Mannat begins to feel dizzy after consuming the spiked coffee. Vikrant notices something off in the air, but just as he tries to check on Mannat, the assistant blocks his view.
Aishwarya continues praising herself and the restaurant’s decor in front of the inspector, while Mannat, increasingly intoxicated, begins to stumble and create chaos in the kitchen.
