The episode opens with Neetu emotionally telling Vikrant that she had no hand in harming Vishaka. With tears in her eyes, she assures him that she could never even think of doing something like that. Vikrant, standing firmly by his mother, tells her that his faith in her will never waver and he will always be by her side. Mannat, sensing the heavy atmosphere, lightens the moment with a playful comment, hoping to bring a smile to Neetu’s face.

Mallika Instigates Vishaka Against Mannat

Meanwhile, Mallika begins to manipulate Vishaka once again. She taunts her for losing to Mannat and fuels her anger by reminding her that everyone seems to be siding with Mannat now. Vikrant trusts Mannat completely, Neetu has accepted her as a daughter-in-law, and even Dhairya believes in her more than his own mother. Mallika provokes Vishaka, claiming that only she is left to support her.

Vikrant Defends Neetu as Tensions Escalate

Elsewhere, Vikrant vents out his frustration to Roni, upset that Vishaka created unnecessary drama and accused Neetu of something she didn’t do. He insists that his mother could never harm anyone and that she would never lie to him. Roni tries to calm him down, but the situation takes a sudden turn when Neetu suffers a panic attack. Vikrant rushes to get her water while Mannat and Roni comfort her.

A Painful Secret and a Fear of Losing Trust

In a moment of vulnerability, Neetu confides in Roni that Vikrant’s trust means everything to her, but she fears the day he learns the truth they’ve been hiding. Mannat advises her to reveal everything before it’s too late. She insists that Vikrant deserves to know that Neetu didn’t steal him from Vishaka, instead, Vishaka had sold her son for ?50 lakhs. Mannat believes honesty is the only way forward. However, Neetu expresses her fear that Vikrant will be shattered to know that his own mother traded him for money. She recalls how deeply it hurt when she discovered Aishwarya had abandoned her to die, saying she cannot bear to see Vikrant go through such pain. Mannat tries to reassure her that truth, no matter how bitter, is better than a lifelong lie.

Vishaka and Mallika Form a Dangerous Alliance

At the same time, Vishaka joins forces with Mallika, deciding to work together against Neetu and Mannat. Vishaka asks Mallika to explain her plan, and Mallika arrogantly admits that though she may not be as cunning as Vishaka, she’s no less dangerous. She blames her previous failures on being too focused on Neetu instead of Vikrant. Mallika reveals that Neetu has been secretly giving Vikrant medication that blocks his memories. She proposes organizing a charity event during Diwali where they can recreate the accident scene that once changed everything. Mallika is confident that reliving the incident will trigger Vikrant’s lost memories, turning him against Neetu and back toward Vishaka. She warns Vishaka not to involve Mannat or Dhairya, as they could spoil the plan. Vishaka agrees with her sinister strategy.

Dhairya Stands by Mannat Over His Mother

Later, Dhairya has a heartfelt conversation with Mannat. He apologizes on behalf of his mother, admitting that Vishaka refuses to understand his perspective. He clarifies that he cannot side with her when she’s wrong and helps Mannat remove her stuck bangle. Vikrant walks in at that moment and expresses his gratitude to Dhairya for helping his mother and to Mannat for standing by Neetu during the difficult time.

The next morning, Mallika asks Gagan for money to fund her plans, but he refuses. She then approaches Roni, who agrees to help her financially. Meanwhile, Vishaka continues her manipulative ways and tries to charm Vikrant with her sweet behavior. Mannat becomes suspicious of her sudden politeness and urges Vishaka to apologize to Neetu. Vishaka does so, but Mannat senses that there’s something off about her behavior.
