The episode begins with Preet introducing herself to Neeti, asserting her identity. Nisha, however, interjects, expressing her frustration at Preet for what she perceives as tormenting behavior over the past few days. She accuses Preet of holding her hand tightly and declares that she will not let her go. In response, Preet explains that Neeti may not fully understand the situation, revealing that Nisha slapped her out of anger as a misguided attempt to teach her a lesson. Preet criticizes Nisha for her lack of manners and urges Neeti to teach her sister some respect.
Neeti, feeling defensive, argues back at Preet, humiliating her by pointing out her humble background and upbringing. She accuses Preet of being envious of their luxurious lifestyle. Preet maintains her composure, reminding Neeti that she is older and deserves respect, as her mother, Sarada, taught her the importance of honoring elders. She expresses her discontent with Neeti’s insults regarding her background, emphasizing that she cannot accept such treatment.
Neeti, undeterred, threatens Preet, stating that if she continues to meddle with her daughter, she will have no choice but to kick her out of the hotel. At this moment, a staff member interrupts, prompting Neeti to excuse herself to attend an award function.
As Neeti walks away, she reflects on Preet’s resemblance to Parineet, noting that she looks like a carbon copy of her. This realization confuses Neeti, especially since Preet mentioned her mother’s name as Sarada, leading Neeti to question whether Preet could truly be Parineet’s daughter. Preet, meanwhile, warns Nisha that she will not forget her mistake, framing it as advice from an elder sister. Nisha dismisses Preet’s warning, accusing her of trying to forge a relationship due to her mother’s wealth.
Neeti continues to ponder Preet’s identity, questioning if she could be Parineet’s daughter despite having seen her drown. Nisha, feeling superior, tells Preet that she cannot be her sister but can only serve as a servant in their house. Preet retorts that she only offered advice and does not need a sister like Nisha.
Later, Preet notices Aditya staring at a girl, leading her to comment on his behavior. Aditya explains that he recognizes the girl as the daughter of his servant and that he is sponsoring her education. Preet misinterprets his intentions, prompting Aditya to take her hand and lead her away.
Nisha, observing their interaction, becomes frustrated and confides in her friend about her concerns regarding Preet. She explains that she had an alliance with Aditya but rejected him without seeing his picture, although she now realizes she likes him. Her friend suggests that it should be easy to find out if he reciprocates her feelings, and Nisha excuses herself.
Meanwhile, Aditya encounters Sneha, who informs him that she has taken the day off to help her mother with work. He advises her to focus on her studies, and when she refers to Preet as “bhabhi,” Preet quickly denies it. Aditya questions if she understands what that means, to which Sneha responds that she does not want to be his wife, leading to a playful exchange about their relationship.
Later, Sushama’s daughter-in-law attends the award ceremony, receiving praise from everyone in attendance. Neeti feels a pang of jealousy, noting that no one from her own family is present to support her. Aditya approaches Preet, asking her to apologize for misunderstanding him earlier. He insists that it is his duty to clear up any confusion between them. Preet, however, challenges him, questioning if he frequently says sorry and thanks people. Aditya points out that she made a mistake without offering an apology, while Preet reminds him that he never thanked her for saving him.
Sneha observes their banter and remarks that they argue like a married couple, which Preet quickly dismisses by covering Aditya’s mouth. Aditya warns her playfully before leaving, and Preet requests Gaurav to take her to the award function to meet Sushama.
Meanwhile, Neeti calls Gurinder, urging him to attend the award function. Later, Vikrant approaches Nisha, admitting that he was wrong at the party and clarifying that he had no bad intentions toward her. However, Nisha, feeling overwhelmed, pushes him away and runs off.
The episode concludes with tensions simmering between the characters, setting the stage for further developments in their intertwined lives.
