The episode begins with Neeti on a determined quest to locate Vishaka’s house. As she navigates the streets, her movements catch the attention of Dhairya, who is keenly aware of her presence. Concerned for the unfolding situation, he promptly contacts Vishaka to alert her about Neeti’s search. During their conversation, Vishaka reveals that she has just returned from the market, where she was buying Dhairya’s favorite vegetables.
Dhairya, anxious about the implications of Neeti finding out the truth, informs Vishaka that Neeti is currently in the police quarters, actively looking for their home. He urges her to be cautious and to ensure that Neeti does not discover that he is her son. It is crucial for her to adhere to Dhairya’s plan, and Vishaka reassures him that she will be careful. As Dhairya follows her from a distance, Neeti, feeling a sense of unease, turns around suspiciously, forcing him to quickly hide from her view.
In her distraction, Neeti accidentally bumps into a flower vase, creating a small commotion. She instinctively hides, catching sight of Vishaka engaged in conversation with a police officer. In a moment of misunderstanding, Neeti mistakenly believes the officer to be her son, which brings relief to Dhairya, who is watching from a distance. Meanwhile, Neeti sends a text message to Roni, informing him that she has gone to meet the priest.
Roni, intrigued by Neeti’s actions, relays this information to Vikrant, commenting that Neeti is always thinking about him. Mannat, overhearing this exchange, feels a sense of relief, realizing that Neeti’s concern for Roni has not waned. However, she also expresses her worry about Neeti’s fixation, which leads to a light-hearted moment between Vikrant and Mannat as they look through childhood photos. Vikrant teases Mannat about her younger self, and when she asks to see his childhood pictures, Roni listens in, contemplating whether Vikrant might suspect that Aman doesn’t resemble him as a child.
As the scene unfolds, Dhairya notices Neeti engaged in a phone conversation. In a protective instinct, he pushes a pipe towards her to avert potential danger, but in doing so, he injures himself. Vishaka, witnessing this, expresses her concern for Dhairya, but he signals her to stay back, not wanting to draw attention to himself. Neeti, alarmed by his injury, feels guilty and anxious. Dhairya reflects on the emotional wounds he has endured, particularly the pain of losing his younger brother to Neeti’s decisions.
Neeti, worried about Dhairya’s well-being, calls Roni to inform him of the incident, stating that Dhairya got hurt while saving her. She insists on taking him home and urges Roni to call a doctor immediately. As they leave, Vishaka watches them with a mix of concern and curiosity. Once home, Neeti tends to Dhairya’s wound, which the doctor has dressed. Dhairya reassures Neeti that the injury is minor compared to the emotional scars he carries from his life experiences.
During their conversation, Dhairya notices Neeti and Mannat looking at him with curiosity. He tries to downplay his injuries, claiming he often gets hurt due to the nature of his job. Mannat, concerned for his health, asks who takes care of him at home. Dhairya lies, saying he lives alone, which prompts Mannat to invite him to stay with them. Neeti echoes this sentiment, urging him to join them, while Vikrant comments that their mother usually doesn’t cater to anyone’s whims.
Curious about Neeti’s presence at the police quarters, Dhairya questions her about it. Neeti explains that she was there to meet the priest, but Dhairya points out that it’s unlikely a priest would be found in such a place. Neeti cleverly lies, claiming she must have reached the wrong address. She expresses gratitude to Dhairya for saving her and mentions that her son’s birthday is the next day, inviting him to stay and attend the puja. Vikrant joins in the request, and after some deliberation, Dhairya agrees to remain with them.
Neeti, feeling a bit neglected, complains to Mannat that she has forgotten her son’s birthday, while Vikrant reassures her of his mother’s love. Dhairya, with a hint of sarcasm, remarks that some people even place a price on a mother’s love. Later, Neeti struggles to find a priest for the puja, but Mallika steps in, announcing that she has found one for Vikrant. She comments disparagingly that Mannat doesn’t deserve her son, adding tension to the atmosphere.
As the episode draws to a close, the stage is set for Dhairya’s plan to retrieve Vikrant’s lost memories, hinting at the complexities and emotional entanglements that will unfold in the coming episodes.
