The episode opens with Sruthi rushing to the hospital, where she is stopped by security as she attempts to enter. She explains that her sister, Soniya, is inside, having been admitted for delivery. The nurse informs her that Soniya has given birth to a girl but is still unconscious. Sruthi is shocked to find that the baby is missing and questions the nurse, who suggests the baby may be with Soniya. Meanwhile, Soniya is handed her newborn and is filled with joy, thanking her prayers for the little girl. When the nurse mentions Sruthi, Soniya, needing rest, asks her to wait outside.
Frustrated, Sruthi criticizes the hospital staff for their negligence, lamenting that both mother and child are nowhere to be found. The nurse explains that Soniya cannot go far after just giving birth. Meanwhile, Soniya walks to the beach with her baby, contemplating her dreams and asserting that she cannot give them up for a child.
A boy notices the abandoned newborn at the beach and approaches, admiring the child. Sruthi is frantically looking for her sister and niece when a police officer stops her, warning of an imminent storm. She insists she must find her sister and baby, but the officer doubts Soniya’s intentions, suggesting she may have come to abandon the child rather than care for her.
Sruthi finally spots the boy sitting near the baby and confirms it is her niece. The boy explains that he is watching over her, but the officer believes Soniya intended to leave the baby behind. Sruthi passionately defends her sister, claiming that Soniya wouldn’t have risked their lives by coming out at just seven and a half months if her love for the baby didn’t exist. She names the child Mannat, vowing to fulfill all her sister’s dreams and declaring the baby as her daughter from that moment onward.

Sruthi is seen asking Bindu for help organizing their belongings on a train as they prepare to celebrate Mannat’s birthday. Sruthi comments on Mannat’s absence when a friend informs her that they have booked the entire AC coach for the occasion. Just then, Mannat rushes to the railway station, accidentally colliding with a stranger who scolds her. She retaliates, frustrated that she could miss her train because of him.
Sruthi calls out to Mannat, and with urgency, Mannat grabs her luggage and races to catch the train while her aunt encourages her. Despite the chaos, she successfully boards the train, much to everyone’s joy. As Mannat catches her breath, she shares a story about her journey, and Sruthi playfully scolds her for being late. Mannat hands over a trophy she just won, proudly announcing that she topped her university and aims to become a chef.
Grateful for all the support she received, Mannat dedicates the trophy to her aunt and expresses appreciation for Bindu uncle, who helped her learn to cook and paid for her fees. She also presents trophies to Gudiya and her sister for their unwavering support. Mannat declares the biggest trophy is for her mom, whom she holds close to her heart, and she emotionally shares her gratitude, teary-eyed.
During their conversation, Kandan discusses their neighbors, bringing up memories of Soniya abandoning Mannat as a child. Mannat enthusiastically talks about her aspirations, including buying a big house and car, and earning money to lead a happy life. Sruthi chides her for dreaming of riches, while Mannat mentions her friend Bella returning from abroad. Bella calls on a video call, convincing Mannat to advocate for her culinary ambitions.
Sharing her worries with a friend, Sruthi expresses her fear that Mannat may turn out like her mother and hopes they never meet. She believes that God will protect Mannat. The episode concludes with the arrival of Vickram in a helicopter, and Sruthi remarks that he will surely come to save the day.
