The episode begins with Neeti expressing her determination to help Sarada organize a grand wedding for Preet. However, she quickly realizes that money is a significant obstacle in their plans. Preet, who is already seeking a wealthy suitor, confronts Neeti about her intentions, insisting that they must not insult the guests who visit their home. Preet believes that Neeti does not deserve any assistance, urging her to leave without causing a scene.
Neeti, unfazed, responds that perhaps she should be thanked for offering financial help. She implies that Sarada has finally recognized that Preet does not deserve much in life and has hastily arranged her wedding with Mohit. This comment infuriates Preet, who refuses to allow anyone to insult her mother. Neeti’s words resonate with Preet, who feels that Neeti resembles Parineet, a name that carries heavy connotations for both women. Preet insists that Neeti still fails to understand the gravity of her actions, stating that they will not insult anyone as Neeti has done. She emphasizes that her mother taught her to treat guests with respect.
Preet continues, asserting that she will not insult her daughter Nisha the way Neeti insulted her. Instead, she wishes happiness for Neeti but vows to pray for retribution for her sins. Neeti, in turn, recalls the dark memory of how she killed Parineet, and Preet ominously warns her that she will pay for her deeds. As the lights suddenly go out, Neeti is reminded of Parineet and mentions her name, prompting Preet to clarify that she is not Parineet.
After Neeti leaves, Sarada inquires about the power outage, and Preet expresses concern about being late for the function. Later, Aditya confides in Gaurav about his turmoil regarding Preet’s impending marriage. He feels helpless about how to express his feelings to her amidst the chaos. Just then, Parth interrupts, informing him that Sushama is calling. Disappointed, Aditya exits and accidentally bumps into Preet, noticing that she is struggling with heavy boxes. He quickly calls a waiter to assist her, while Nisha watches happily from a distance.
Neeti then gathers a group of people and invites Aditya to dance, pushing him to dance with Nisha. Preet feels a pang of hurt watching Aditya with Nisha, and he, sensing her distress, runs after Preet. Nisha tries to follow them but is called back by Simran, who wants her to dance. Aditya tells Preet that he cannot understand how she can bear to see him with Nisha, as it pains him deeply. He pleads for a chance to confess his feelings for her, but Preet silences him, insisting that the situation is already complicated enough and that she does not want to add to it. She walks away, leaving Aditya frustrated.
Sarada then approaches Preet, reminding her that she forgot to bring some items from home. She asks Preet to take the car and retrieve them, a request overheard by Hari. Aditya, feeling dejected because Preet is unwilling to listen to him, decides to stop pursuing her and instead accept Nisha as his partner. He instructs the DJ to play a celebratory song, trying to shift his focus.
Meanwhile, Neeti meets with Nisha, who reveals her concerns about Preet’s closeness to Aditya. Nisha doubts that the engagement will go smoothly and expresses her worry about Preet becoming her rival. Neeti reflects on her past experiences with Parineet and Sanju, concluding that only a rival ultimately prevails, just as Parineet did.
Jasleen arrives, and Neeti scolds her for allowing Preet to attend the event, complaining that Nisha dislikes her presence. Jasleen defends herself, explaining that Preet had previously ruined their catering due to a mishap involving a waiter who spiked drinks, which was not their fault. Neeti encourages Nisha to enjoy her engagement, but she secretly orders Hari to ensure that Preet does not return alive.
As the episode draws to a close, Preet overhears Aditya asking the DJ to play a song for him, expressing his desire to make his future wife happy. The tension builds as the characters navigate their complicated relationships and the dark undercurrents of jealousy and rivalry, setting the stage for potential conflict ahead.
