The episode begins with a tense dialogue between Suman and Vikram. Vikram attempts to conceal the fact that he has already kidnapped Malini, hiding her in an oversized suitcase. However, a hand is visible, creating a risk of discovery. He urgently works to block Suman’s view of the hand, fearing that she will quickly realize what has happened. To deflect attention, he fabricates a story about Malini going on a trip. Suman is taken in by Vikram’s caring demeanor. To distract Suman further, Vikram suddenly embraces her, pleading with her not to leave him. Suman, while charmed, grows suspicious of the large suitcase since Malini is only away for a short time. Vikram continues to struggle to divert her suspicions.
Reva and Rishi hold onto the hope that one day Teerth and Suman will find their way back to each other, but Devika warns them against such wishes. She is determined to keep them apart. Teerth chastises Devika for speaking ill of Suman in front of the children, yet Devika is intent on revealing Suman’s true intentions for coming into their home, claiming it’s to document the failures of Teerth and Kritika’s marriage.
Teerth is well aware that Suman is investigating the circumstances surrounding his brother’s death. Devika cautions him against uncovering the truth, warning that it could send Chandrakant to jail. Akhil urges Teerth to give Suman a chance to manage things her way, but Devika continues to manipulate him into keeping secrets. Teerth firmly states that he does not require their counsel and is set in his own decisions, unwilling to reveal his thoughts at this moment.
As Vikram prepares to leave the house with the suitcase, he is intercepted once more by Hema and Bhoomi, who are skeptical about the bag. Ultimately, he manages to exit with the suitcase in tow.
Reflecting on the conflicting advice from his family, Teerth feels overwhelmed about what path to take. He has never truly had Suman in his life for an extended time and had dreamt of a future together. Akhil, no longer swayed by Devika, resolves to support Teerth and Suman. He confronts Devika, asserting that he will stand by his family. This angers Devika, who slaps him, but Akhil remains undeterred. Suman intervenes to defend him from Devika’s aggression.
Suman, Hema, and Bhoomi begin to feel wary of Malini’s unexpected plans. They attempt to contact her, only to find the phone ringing outside. Vikram again deceives them, claiming that Malini must have left her phone behind.
The episode ends.
