The episode begins with Suman exiting her room, but Teerth swiftly closes the door and pulls her closer. Teerth confronts Suman, questioning her arrogance and why she chose to stay silent about Rishi’s murder instead of revealing the truth. He expresses his deep bond with Rishi, stating that he was more than just a brother to him, especially during tough times. Teerth demands to know why she withheld this information. Suman retorts that he lacked the courage to face the truth. Teerth vows to bring Rishi’s murderer to justice, declaring that he will stop at nothing to see them punished. Suman raises the possibility of the killer being someone from his own family, leaving Teerth stunned.
Suman points out that Devika saved Gulshan, suggesting a connection to the murderer. Meanwhile, Akhil expresses frustration to Devika, who points out that they suspected him of being Rishi’s killer. He believes he would have been jailed had Teerth not intervened. Devika reassures him that they will find the real murderer and warns him that they’re framing him, urging him to be cautious since they want to trap him. She advises Akhil to create chaos, explaining that they need to play defensively, so Suman doesn’t become a target.
Teerth holds Suman’s hand, promising he won’t stoop low and insists they will find Rishi’s murderer. He reminisces about Rishi’s positive impressions of her and believes she deserves respect. Suman maintains that she is not egoistic and emphasizes that a killer exists in the family, suspecting Akhil. Teerth asks if he will ensure the killer is punished, to which Suman claims she will find the strength to see justice served.
Afterward, Devika devises a plan to weaken Suman by targeting her sister Bhumi, stating that Suman’s strength lies in Bhumi. She instructs Akhil to carry out her plan without getting himself implicated. Kritika observes that in their scheme, they seem to be forgetting Suman’s plight. Devika firmly believes that if Suman is preoccupied with protecting Bhumi, they can erase any evidence related to Rishi’s murder.
As the day unfolds, Teerth reassures Suman that he hasn’t betrayed her. He then switches on the TV, where a reporter discusses his recent initiative to suggest job opportunities for those who beg out of necessity, not choice. Suman notes that Teerth’s loyalty lies with his citizens rather than just with her.
The next day, Suman wakes Teerth by playfully dipping his finger in tea, insisting he must get ready for a photoshoot she arranged with the CM’s PA. Teerth responds cheekily, referring to her as “daku indori” while Suman encourages him to step up.
As the photoshoot day arrives, Suman and Teerth get ready, but Suman accidentally slips, prompting Teerth to catch her. Gitanjali smiles at the moment, while others look on disapprovingly, including Chandrakant, who grumbles about the photographer taking over their home.
In a parallel scene, Devika orders Akhil to execute her plan regarding Bhumi, warning him that no one will come to save her. Akhil confidently states that today will be the day for Bhumi, while Devika anticipates the consequences of Akhil’s actions, hinting at the turmoil that will soon unravel.
The episode concludes.
