The episode begins with Devika, who is utterly shocked to learn that her husband is the father of an illegitimate child conceived with her sister, Kritika. This revelation shatters her world, prompting her to confront Kritika about the incident. During their confrontation, Devika learns that on the fateful night in question, Guru, her husband, had engaged in a physical relationship with Kritika, resulting in the birth of the child. This devastating news not only disrupts the family dynamics but also leads to deep emotional turmoil.
The following morning, Chandrakant, Devika’s father-in-law, discovers the truth about the affair. In an effort to protect Devika and the Mittal family from scandal, he decides to keep the incident a secret. Meanwhile, Kritika, overwhelmed by guilt and shame, takes drastic measures to punish herself by shaving her head, a symbolic act of penance for her actions.
As the narrative unfolds, Suman reflects on the consequences of Devika’s previous actions. She remarks on how Devika has brought this punishment upon herself, having previously attempted to destroy Suman’s family and having played a role in Rishi’s death. Now, Devika faces the loss of her own family, a bitter irony that Suman cannot overlook. When Kritika attempts to console Devika, she is met with hostility. Devika vehemently declares that there is no longer any relationship between her and her sister. In a fit of rage, she attempts to attack Kritika with a sharp knife, but both Guru and Suman intervene, preventing her from causing harm.
Devika’s anger intensifies as she witnesses the support and empathy Guru shows towards Kritika. Feeling betrayed by her husband’s actions, she lashes out, slapping him in a moment of fury. Despite her efforts to shield Guru from blame regarding the family turmoil, the reality of his failure to protect her weighs heavily on her. Devika’s emotional state deteriorates as she grapples with the truth, leading her to place some blame on Chandrakant for keeping the secret from her.
In a state of distress, Suman attempts to help Devika, recognizing her mental instability in light of the recent revelations. Meanwhile, in a separate scene, police officers arrive at the storeroom where Vikram is left unconscious. Their intention is to arrest him, but Vikram, regaining consciousness, resists their efforts to detain him. He threatens the officers, asserting his influence by mentioning that his father is the chief minister. In a bid to extricate himself from the situation, he calls his father, seeking intervention. Upon receiving orders from the chief minister, the police officers reluctantly leave Vikram alone. However, this newfound freedom fuels Vikram’s anger, and he resolves to take revenge on Suman.
Suman later visits Devika’s room, intending to offer comfort during this tumultuous time. However, she is taken aback by Devika’s reaction. Rather than expressing shame over her husband’s infidelity or her sister’s betrayal, Devika is primarily concerned about her own reputation and vanity, which she feels have been tarnished by the public revelation. While she can tolerate her husband’s extramarital affair, she cannot bear the perceived disrespect it brings to her. Suman, stunned by Devika’s selfishness, responds by slapping her, a moment of shock that underscores the gravity of the situation.
Realizing the depth of Devika’s moral failings, Suman decides to take a stand by informing the police. In response, Devika quickly alters her narrative, attempting to garner sympathy from Suman. Meanwhile, Gajendra confronts Guru, criticizing him for the behavior he has learned from his family. Gitanjali Devi, however, counters Gajendra’s criticism by reminding him of the destructive lessons he has imparted to his daughters, highlighting the hypocrisy in his judgment.
Chandrakant, in an effort to manipulate the situation, seeks to persuade Teerth to refrain from reporting to the police. He chastises Teerth for adhering to his wife’s wishes, but Teerth stands firm, proudly acknowledging his relationship with her. In a parallel narrative thread, Suman attempts to enlighten Gitanjali Devi, who has long suffered under her husband’s oppressive control.
The episode concludes, leaving viewers with a sense of unresolved tension as the characters navigate their complex relationships and the consequences of their actions.
