The episode opens with a conversation between Teerth and Chandrakant, during which Chandrakant requests Teerth to invite Suman to their home instead of Kritika. At that moment, Devika arrives and insists that Teerth join her on the stage for their engagement. Devika’s intimidating tone leaves Teerth feeling conflicted as he walks into the main hall, where Kritika awaits him as his fiancée.
Suman, meanwhile, has her own agenda; although she manipulates Teerth into marrying Kritika, her true intention is to sabotage the engagement and tarnish Teerth’s reputation. As Teerth approaches the stage, Suman feigns illness, collapsing just before he reaches her. Concerned, Teerth rushes to her side, questioning her welfare. After telling him she’s okay, Suman secretly hands him a box.
Hidden from Devika’s view, Teerth opens the box, revealing the mangalsutra intended for their marriage. Confused by Suman’s message, he follows her as she hurriedly leaves for the parking area. Teerth gets into the car with her, while Devika and Kritika desperately try to locate him, but Teerth ignores their calls, further frustrating Devika. He drives off with Suman, leaving the two women behind.
Throughout the drive, Teerth presses Suman for clarity regarding her actions before the engagement, but she remains evasive. Upon reaching their destination, he inquires again, but Suman dismisses his question, claiming she was just joking.
Kritika, feeling vulnerable after her engagement falls apart, turns her anger toward Devika, blaming her for manipulating Teerth and ruining her chances at love. In a moment of rage, Kritika grabs a large stone, attempting to hurt Devika, who tries to calm her down and urge her to regain control.
When Teerth questions Suman about her feelings, she declares that she cannot love someone she considers a hypocrite. Teerth admits that he was coerced into marrying Kritika and never wanted to go through with it. In a sudden burst of emotion, Suman slaps him. Just then, a group of reporters arrives, capturing the unfolding drama. Unbeknownst to Teerth, Suman had tipped off the media with Vikram’s assistance to ensure his public disgrace.
Suman accuses Teerth of being a kidnapper and claims he had used her for his own purposes, asserting that their marriage was a lie. Realizing he has been ensnared in her trap, Teerth falls silent as the episode concludes.
