The episode opens with Vasudha climbing into Madhav’s house through the balcony, assisted by Madhav as she enters his room.
In the meantime, the pandit instructs Chandrika to call for the bride. Sarita volunteers to fetch her and departs.
Neeta approaches Raghav, expressing her gratitude for saving her and apologizing for the delay in thanking him. She explains her visit is twofold: to check on Madhav and to learn more about Raghav, since Reet often talks about him.
Madhav, noticing Vasudha’s entrance, suggests she could have used the stairs instead. Vasudha then reveals to Madhav that she can’t marry him because she is already married. Confused, Madhav asks for clarification, prompting Vasudha to show her Mangalsutra as evidence. She explains that she married Dev during the shooting, emphasizing that the marriage was meaningful and that she participated in all the rituals sincerely.
Sarika arrives to summon Vasudha, but Reet and Savitri prevent her from entering, stating that Vasudha is still getting ready. Sarika waits outside the room.
Vasudha apologizes to Madhav for not sharing this information sooner. Madhav inquires if Dev knows her true feelings, to which Vasudha admits he does not. She expresses her desire to sever ties with both Dev and her role as Chandrika’s daughter-in-law, deciding instead to leave.
Meanwhile, the pandit questions Chandrika about Vasudha’s delay and notes that Madhav is also missing. Karishma offers to find him.
Sharda and Viren discuss the need to separate Raghav and Neeta, planning to take Raghav away after Vasudha’s wedding. Sharda insists on this separation, despite Unnati voicing concerns about how it would affect Dhruv and herself.
Frustrated by Vasudha’s absence, Sarika checks inside the room only to find it empty. She makes a remark about Reet before heading to inform Chandrika.
Vasudha tells Madhav of her intention to leave without blaming him, assuring him not to worry. Madhav agrees. Just then, Karishma arrives calling for him, and Madhav replies that he will join her shortly.
Sarika informs Chandrika that Vasudha has run away, prompting Chandrika to instruct Dev and others to search for her. Dev finds Vasudha in the garden, where she participates in her Haldi ceremony.
Chandrika questions Vasudha’s whereabouts, but Dev reassures her that Vasudha was just in the garden. Afterward, Karishma searches for Madhav in his room but discovers he isn’t there, and she goes to inform Chandrika.
In a separate scene, Reet questions Raghav about their situation. Raghav hands her a rose and apologizes, stating his intention to no longer keep her as his “guarantee wife.” He presents her with divorce papers, granting her freedom from their marriage.
Karishma then announces to everyone that Madhav is missing from his room. While they call for him, he remains unresponsive. When Neeta contacts him, Madhav reveals that he has realized Vasudha isn’t suitable for him, describing her as “just a maid” and “illiterate,” leading him to reject the marriage. Hearing this, Chandrika promptly calls off the wedding and asks the guests to leave.
The episode concludes with these distressing developments, notably the cancellation of the wedding and the audience’s growing tension.
