The episode begins with Aditya expressing his gratitude to Preet for giving him the daga, a protective amulet. Preet, slightly puzzled, questions how he managed to get it, implying that she had been searching for it. Harjot, overhearing their conversation, playfully asks Preet if she is accusing Aditya of being a daga thief. Preet quickly clarifies that was not her intention. Aditya explains that the priest had tied the daga on his wrist during a ceremony, and reassures her that her daga is safely in his car, promising to return it later. He thanks her once more before departing.
As Aditya leaves, Harjot comments on how well-suited the two seem as a couple, sparking a sense of intrigue in Preet. She expresses her desire to meet Sushama to discuss a business deal, while Nisha, observing from a distance, wonders why Aditya thanked Preet, feeling a pang of jealousy.
Meanwhile, Neeti and Parineet find themselves in a tense standoff as the lift doors close between them. Neeti, shocked to see Parineet alive, is momentarily frozen in disbelief. She notices they are on the 7th floor, a significant location for her. Parineet, on the other hand, feels uneasy and experiences a heaviness in her head. Just then, Vidhi approaches Preet, urging her to meet Sushama. Neeti, still searching for Parineet, is unaware that Parineet has already slipped away, taking a medical file from a patient room before leaving. Neeti, still focused on finding Parineet, thinks to herself that she needs to meet the client while simultaneously searching for her friend. The thought that Parineet is alive fills her with confusion and urgency.
Later, Harjot experiences a mishap when her slipper breaks. She asks Preet to meet Sushama while she goes to get her slipper repaired, noting that wealthy clients won’t wait around for them. This adds to the pressure of their situation as they strive to secure the deal.
As Neeti reflects on Parineet’s past threats, she is filled with dread. Her friend notices her distress and inquires if she is alright. Meanwhile, Vidhi informs Kanika that she has sent Preet to wait in the hall. Kanika, feeling the weight of responsibility, declares that she must handle everything herself, asserting that the alliance will not be finalized today and will likely be rejected. She believes Aditya deserves a girl like Nisha, which Nisha overhears, prompting her to think that she must marry Aditya at any cost.
In a surprising turn, Nisha spots Parineet and is taken aback by her presence. As Neeti collides with Preet, she recognizes Preet’s voice, filled with disdain, and resolves to teach her a lesson. Nisha mistakenly refers to Parineet as Preet, to which Parineet responds, calling herself Pakhi before hastily leaving. Nisha is left puzzled, wondering why Parineet is dressed as a nurse when she had seen her in different attire just moments before.
Gaurav, curious about the situation, asks Harjot how Preet agreed to marry Aditya. Harjot clarifies that Preet hasn’t agreed to anything; they only came to discuss business with Sushama. Unbeknownst to them, Sushama is Aditya’s grandmother, adding another layer of complexity to the unfolding drama.
Meanwhile, Nisha approaches Aditya, who is preoccupied with his phone. She playfully accuses him of being a thief, claiming he has stolen her heart. Aditya, taken aback, asks her what she means by that, urging her not to make such jokes. Nisha, undeterred, insists that he seems genuinely concerned about her, especially after he saved her from a troubling situation. Aditya clarifies that he acted out of respect for her dignity and would have done the same for any woman in her position. He warns her that if she finds herself in a similar situation again, he won’t come to her rescue; instead, he would ask someone else to help. He emphasizes that he respects women and urges her to rid herself of any misconceptions about his feelings toward her.
Later, a doctor assures Ramesh that he is in good health and leaves Parineet to care for him until the award function concludes. In a twist of fate, Aditya unexpectedly bumps into Preet. She seems ready to leave without hearing him out, but he insists she cannot walk away without listening to him first. Preet, with a hint of sarcasm, questions if anyone has ever left him without listening to him. Aditya’s disappointment is evident, and Preet quickly apologizes, but he retorts that he doesn’t want to talk to her, feeling that she doesn’t deserve his kindness.
In a heated exchange, Preet reminds him that she has saved him twice, yet he continues to treat her poorly. Their argument escalates, with Aditya stating that he cannot afford to confuse his feelings because of her. He steps closer, teasingly telling her that her nervousness is something he finds amusing. Nisha, watching from a distance, feels a surge of jealousy as she observes the interaction between Aditya and Preet.
As the episode concludes, the tension between the characters intensifies, leaving viewers eager to see how their relationships will evolve in the face of misunderstandings, jealousy, and unspoken truths.
