The episode opens with Mannat waking up to the surprise of Gudiya and Dolly, who bring her a birthday cake and wish her a happy birthday. Mannat complains that they didn’t wish her the night before, and they explain that Shruti asked them not to disturb her sleep. Mannat then asks for a photo of her dad. Harneet comments to Shruti about Mannat’s “fake dad” enjoying a real birthday cake. Mannat happily chats with her dad’s photo before Shruti encourages her to cut the cake, feeling guilty for having lied to Mannat about being her mother. She worries about breaking Mannat’s confidence and heart. Mannat excitedly declares that God has answered her prayer: Vickrant has come to India and canceled his meeting to visit the temple instead.
Meanwhile, Kanan comments to Harneet about Mannat cooking in the temple. Shruti suddenly coughs, prompting Harneet to give her some water. The cook asks Mannat what she prayed for, and she happily states that her name is Mannat and her prayers have been fulfilled. Harneet tells Shruti to take care of her health, but Mannat notes that Shruti is coughing a lot. Shruti lies, claiming it’s just an allergy, and convinces Mannat that everything is fine.
Vickrant arrives at the Golden Temple, expressing gratitude for being back in his homeland. Meanwhile, Shruti prays to Baba to fulfill Mannat’s dreams while ensuring she never meets her mother. Harneet mentions that the doctor is calling for Shruti, prompting her to leave to meet the doctor. Mannat, in deep prayer, wishes to become a chef this year and asks for a special gift on her birthday.
Vickrant sits beside Mannat, and she mistakenly lays her head on his shoulder, thinking he is her mother. She inquires about her long prayers, assuming she is asking for help to fulfill her dreams. Mannat comments on the strong perfume, sensing someone else’s presence, and is shocked to find Vickrant beside her. She quickly apologizes. Both of them pray together at that moment, sharing a connection. A dupatta falls around Mannat, but Vickrant catches it, leading him to reminisce about his childhood.
Later, Sonia tells Mallika that Vickrant is in India and that she must marry him, insisting he will only marry her and not look at anyone else. Mallika is confused by Sonia’s insistence and claims not to understand her reasoning. Sonia explains that Vickrant is her business partner, which is why she has chosen him for herself.
Mannat collides with Vickrant and nervously chats with him before apologizing again. He hands her a bucket and walks away, making her worry that he may have misunderstood her. Later, Mallika complains to her mother about how Vickrant always prioritizes his Indian roots. Sonia insists that Mallika must impress him, which is why she plans to send her to India with him. Mallika argues that he doesn’t even pay her any attention, asking her mother to accompany her, but Sonia refuses, saying she hates India. Mallika contends that she never missed Sonia, who reassures her that she has always missed her, promising this time she will unite her with Vickrant.
In a heartfelt moment, Mannat finds Vickrant again and clears up her previous misunderstanding. He is surprised by her non-stop chatter, but all that changes when thunder rumbles outside. Vickrant helps her calm down and motivates her, providing comfort. Gratified, Mannat thanks him, and as the rain subsides, her chatter returns. Vickrant points out her rapid shifts in emotion. Meanwhile, Sonia remains determined to bring Mallika and Vickrant together.
