Prerna sees a speeding car and pushes Mukti out of the way and runs away. The both of them manage to get away from the car. The car speeds off and Prerna's unable to have a good look at the driver. Tushar and Jeevan come running and ask them if they are alright. All of them go home.
What follows is a torrid scene in the Bajaj hallway. Everybody's calliing up Rishabh and asking him about Prem and are curious to know as to what actually happened and Rishabh is just telling them to mmind their own business and that he does not have any comments on the issue. Rishabh is totally frustrated and tells Prerna that the news about Prem has spread like a wild fire and now everybody wants to meddle into their affairs and get their scoop of gossip. Shailendra, Kamini,Sharad and Sneha are worried. Rishabh throws the phone away in his anger and switches on the TV where all the news channels are flashing the same news about Mukti and Prem and the Rishabh Bajaj angle to it. Interestingly, the news says that Prem is now Rishabh's son- Prem Bajaj. Rishabh is furious. Prerna keeps a hand on his shoulder and tries to calm him down.
Shailendra breaks his silence and tells Rishabh that they have to get Prem out of the lock-up as soon as possible. Rishabh looks on unconvinced. Shailendra tells him that the things are getting worse and if they do not take the right step then they will land up in a huge mess. Kamini turns to Prerna and tells her that she is a witness to what turn the events have taken and she never listened to her when she was telling her the right thing. Kamini tells her that she's always wished good for them but they never listen to her. Kamini tells her to act, and act wise. Kamini reminds her that now they have a bond between them and Prerna's daughter is now her daughter-in-law and if they disgraced, they are going to disgrace the Guptas as well. Prerna's concerned. Kamini tells her that Mukti's a driver's daughter afterall. Prerna's shocked.
Shailendra continues and tells Rishabh that it has happened before that they doubted Prem for no rhyme or reason and each and every time he's come out unscathed and innocent. Shailendra tells Rishabh not to do the same mistake again and free Prem from this mess as soon as possible before things get out of their control. Rishabh is thinking.Prerna butts in and tells them that she's with Mukti because she has no other family than them. Prerna tells them that she's not alone and even Rishabh wants justice for Mukti and they wont back out until they do so.Prerna also tells them that she's not against Prem as well and this time she's with both her kids and will not them lose at any cost.A message is delivered to Prerna that she has an appointment with the attorney at 4. Kamini and Shailendra are shocked. Rishabh stares at Prerna.
Anurag returns from the Bajaj house. Sam comes out to meet him. Anurag tells Sam that he's unable to comprehend what all is happening to them all of a sudden and most of all- he can not deduce who gave the news to the media. A voice booms saying that he has leaked the news to the media. It's Shravan. Anurag is furious.Shravan repeats that he has given this news to the media. Anurag goes to hit him but Shravan tells him to stop and save his son first. Shravan tells him now that his real blood is behind bars, he will be able to get a whiff of the pain he's been going through all these days, separated from his mom. Shravan tells him that he knows Anurag's too helpless to decide between Mukti and Prem and he's enjoying Anurag's helplessness to the core. Shravan wishes him luck and leaves.
While leaving,Shravan bumps into Indro. Anurag is puzzled and wonders how Shravan got to know about mukti's rape in the first place. Indro tells Anurag that he'd seen Shravan at the party as well. Anurag is totally shocked.
Mukti's in her room thinking about all that she just heard when she gets a telephone call. Mukti picks it up and a harsh voice threatens her to take her case back otherwise she'll have to pay with her life. Mukti's shocked and tells the person that she's not going to take her case back at any cost. Prerna witnesses all this and tells Mukti not to get worried and tells her about the appointment with the attorney at 4.
Prerna goes to the lockup and questions Prem about the threatening calls to Mukti. Prem tells her that he does not beleive that Prerna thinks that Prem's doing all this. Prem asks Prerna what will he get if he does such petty things. Prem reminds her that whatever happened at Panchameshwar was solely out of Mukti's will and he's already confessed that he's not raped her. Prem's frustrated and tells her that it's no use talking to her as Mukti's already got her dancing to her tunes. Prerna tells him that it's not the case and he's mis-understanding her. Prem tells her to leave. Just then, Rishabh comes there and places a hand on Prem's shoulder telling him not to worry and he will not let anything happen to him if he's innocent and that he'll be out of jail soon. Rishabh leaves.
Mukti gets a phone call asking her to come over to the attorney. Mukti tells Jeevan that Prerna's called her over to the attorney and asks him if he shall accompany her. Jeevan goes away and is very sad. Mukti leaves for the attorney's place. As soon as Mukti leaves, Prerna comes home. Jeevan is shocked to see Prerna and tells her that Mukti told him that she was going to the attorney. Prerna realises that it's the same goons who are trying to trap Mukti and they rush to the attorney's place.
Prerna sees Mukti being pushed into a lift and screams for help. All the people run upstairs, following the lift. Inside the lift, a goon points a knife at Mukti's neck and tells her to take her case back, or she's going to be dead. He tells her that if anything happens to Prem 'saab', then she will be left crying and will lose everything. Mukti's shocked. Mukti somehow manages to press the stop button and runs out of the lift.The goon runs away. Prerna runs up to her and thanks God that Mukti's alright. They go home.
At Gupta house,
Shailendra calls over the police officer in charge of Mukti's place and keeps a huge bag of money in front of him.The Officer is surprised and asks what the money is for. Shailendra tells him that money has a lot of power and weight and he wants Mukti's case to be burdened by that weight.Shailendra elaborates and tells the Officer that he wants Prem's name out of the case as soon as possible and that is the sole reason why he's giving this much money. The Officer asks him what profit will it be to him if Prem, who's Rishabh's son is bailed out of the case. Shailendra tells him to mind his business and to do only what is told. The Officer's very happy and leaves.
Kamini witnesses all this and is shocked. She asks him what all this was. Shailendra tells her that this was all a part of his game. Shailendra reveals his entire plan-
He tells her that he got Sharad married to Sneha, such a petty girl who was born to one man and brought up by another, only so that he could have a firm footing with Rishabh. He wanted Rishabh in his party so that he could avail and make use of his wealth, his glam factor and his name to reach the dazzling heights of political success that he has never seen. Shailendra tells her that all the 'pawns' in his game have been well trained and nobody goes against him and that's the reason why he does not want his plan to be ruined by a idiotic girl like Mukti and wants Rishabh to win the election - anyhow! Shailendra gives an evil smile.
In the morning,
Mukti meets the (bribed) inspector and he fools her into beleiving that her case is very strong but they need one more evidence against Prem. Mukti leaves and just then,Rishabh and Gupta enter with their attorney. Mukti hides and eavesdrops on them. The Inspector tells Shailendra that Mukti's case is very weak and he was just doing all this so that nobody can doubt him later on.Rishabh bails Prem out. Mukti's shocked!!
That's it!

Sam questions whether Shravan has raped Mukti and they all start thinking about it.Just then, Indro comes and tells all of them that Prem has been bailed out. Prerna is very happy and all of them go to the Bajaj house.
Mukti and Jeevan are talking. Mukti's upset. Jeevan tells her that she has to accept the truth about the situation and they just cannot fight against rich and powerful people like Rishabh and Shailendra. He says that now that Rishabh's bailed out Prem,it's proved that she means nothing to them at all and they care least what happens to her. Jeevan tells her that he no longer has the strength or the courage to fight against the weak judiciary system and such powerful people. Jeevan tells her that he has lost everything in this fight and does not wish to lose her because she is all that he has. Jeevan declares that they are leaving the place tomorrow, never to come back. Mukti tells Jeevan that she's not going to accept defeat before the battle starts. Jeevan tells her that he's not here for her opinion, but he's here to tell her his decision. Mukti's shocked.
Shailendra and Kamini are seated at the Bajaj house when Prerna comes in. Prerna is very happy to see Prem and asks him how he is. Prem excuses himself and tells her that he's tired and needs some rest. He leaves the place. Prerna wonders what's wrong. Prerna asks Rishabh as to how Prem got bailed out so easily. Shailendra butts in and tells her that the Police cant keep people in custody for so long only on the grounds of suspicion. Rishabh assures Prerna not to worry and not to think that they have used any unfair means to free Prem (Rishabh's unaware that Shailendra's bribed the Police)
Just then, Jeevan enters the house sadly and makes his way to Prerna and Rishabh. Jeevan tells them about his decision to leave the place the next day- never to come back. Both Rishabh and Prerna are shocked and ask him the reason behind such a decision. Jeevan tells them that he knows Mukti will have to carry the blot of being a rape victim all her life and she feels strangulated in such an atmosphere and as a father he cannot bear it and thus they are leaving. Prerna tells him that he cannot lose hope in such times of despair and he should be the one standing with Mukti through thick and thin. Jeevan yells at her and tells her that he's realised the crux of the situation and that tomorrow if they have to choose between an innocent Mukti and a guilty Prem, they will choose Prem because afterall he is their son and Mukti's a driver's daughter. Prerna is shocked. Jeevan turns to Rishabh and tells him that he knows that his job will be over the moment anything against Prem is found and he does not want to be humiliated .Everyone is taken aback.
Prerna tells Jeevan that though he's been there with them for 20 years, he has not been able to comprehend them. Rishabh asks him how could he think that he could kick him out of the house just like that? Prerna tells Jeevan that they will be the first people to punish Prem if he's guilty. Jeevan tells Prerna and Rishabh that he spoke a bit too much in his anger but this is all a father's frustration. He requests Prerna and Rishabh not to try to stop him and Mukti. Jeevan leaves. All of them are dumbfounded.
Prem goes out of the house to meet someone. It's the same goon who cornered Mukti in the lift and told her to take the case back. Prem holds the goon violently and tells him that he'd been promised that Mukti will take her case back and he shall be freed...but nothing of that sort happened and he's just out on bail. The goon reminds him that he'd instructed them not to touch Mukti and that's all they could have done. Prem gives him the money and tells him to get lost. Prem turns around and is shocked.
It's Mukti who's witness to whatever happened. She walks towards him and tells him that she'd never thought that he'd droop to such a low level that he'd surpass the last level he drooped to . Mukti tells him not to be under the wrong impression that she'll take her case back if she's threatened like this. Mukti tells him that she'll fight to the end. Mukti tells Prem that she knows he's the rapist and will make sure that he suffers for what he's done. Prem's least interested in whatever she's talking.
Sharad goes to office where he meets Sneha and tells her about Jeevan's decision to leave the place. Sneha is shocked and tells Sharad that they have to meet Mukti and convince her. They are leaving when Sneha feels weak but agrees to carry on.
Mukti goes to office where all the employees stare at her rudely and pass comments about her. Mukti goes to her cabin and takes all her belongings and retuns the keys to the manager. Prem comes there applauding the act and tells Mukti that she should not have expected that he let her continue with work.Mukti tells him that she was here to resign only. Prem applauds her once again that finally she has taken a right step in her life. Mukti's hurt and leaves. A sad song plays for her.
Mukti comes home to see Sharad and Sneha. Sneha blasts her for giving into the situation without any spine and tells her to convince Jeevan. Prem's listening to all this and wonders why sneha's stopping Mukti and she should just let her go if she wants to. Mukti sees a letter in her bag which is from a person saying that he knows the rapist and the photo of the rapist could be hers if she paid him 20 lakhs. Sharad promises Mukti the money. They are happy when Sneha faints.
The doc declares that Sneha's pregnant. Sharad and Sneha and Prerna are present along with Mukti. They are overjoyed.Sneha says she wants to be a great mom, just like Prerna.
Prem goes to the place where the person who wrote the letter to Mukti. He has a bag in his hand. He goes to the man and hits him hard accusing him of clicking pics of his family and then selling them. The man's shocked.
