The episode concludes with Teerth visibly frustrated after witnessing the shocking developments. He reflects on how everything he felt and perceived until now was a façade, questioning how Sumna could ally herself with the very person who murdered her brother. In his eyes, her hatred has clouded her judgment, blurring the lines between right and wrong.
Meanwhile, Sumna is seen giving money to Gulshan, urging him to tell the truth in court. She warns him that while she intends to take revenge on him one day, for now, he must leave. Gulshan, initially surprised by the cash, decides to support her moving forward, realizing that he didn’t have this kind of money before. However, Teerth mistakenly believes that Sumna is bribing Gulshan to turn against him.
After Gulshan exits, Sumna confides in Vikram that while she knows it’s essential to teach Devika a lesson, she can’t bear to see Teerth in any more pain. All he wants is to spend some quality time with Rishi, so she resolves to dissolve the case to give him that time. Vikram stands by, still but clearly irritated.
Determined, Teerth vows not to let Sumna gain custody of Rishi, convinced she is not a suitable parent. Devika, overhearing a conversation between Akhil and Teerth, smirks from a distance, sensing the brewing tension. Isha advises Vikram not to misconstrue her decision as feelings for Teerth, while Vikram assures Sumna that he fully trusts her.
Sumna decides to inform Teerth that she no longer wishes to continue their feud. When they meet, Teerth hands her legal documents for custody of Rishi. Annoyed, Sumna tells Teerth that if his pride outweighs Rishi’s happiness, she is ready to escalate the battle. Vikram chimes in, asserting that Teerth won’t even get to see Rishi. In turn, Sumna vows to first punish Devika and then teach Teerth a lesson.
Back at home, Teerth speaks with his lawyer, emphasizing that he must win the custody battle at all costs. Meanwhile, Vikram warns Devika that Sumna is set to take action against her and advises her to remain vigilant. Entrusting her entire case to Bhoomi, Sumna expresses her determination to emerge victorious.
The following morning, as Suman and Bhoomi prepare for court, they realize Rishi is missing. They eventually find him hiding behind a curtain, crying and expressing his desire to remain with both parents but not wanting to go to court due to their fighting. Suman reassures him, explaining that Teerth truly wants to be with him but that she can’t live without Rishi either. She encourages him to help her win the case so they can all be together.
The episode draws to a close.
