Sid opens the door to find Vikram standing there. He asks Naina to go outside saying he wants a private talk with Sid. He tells Sid that like him, he wants revenge on the Rai Singhanias because he was ill-used, first by Vedika and then by Vasudha. Sid happily shakes hands with him. Vikram gets Sid drunk and by flattery and coaxing, gets all the truth out of him. After Sid leaves, Naina arrives. Vikram shows her the recording he has made of Sid's confession. Naina says he has a lot of power in his hands these days, but he is using it wrongly on Vasu. She suspects that his forcing Vasu to marry him has something to do with the DRS case. Vikram warns her to lay off as he can throw her in jail too as a co-conspirator of Sid.
Vedant is at the temple, doing a havan for Sandhya's return. He prays for a sign that she is safw. Just then he finds a girl sitting next to him. After the havan, she bends with him to touch the feet of the pujari, and he, thinking she is Vedant's wife, blesses them saying that he hopes Vedant's ardhangini (wife) will have a long life. Ved asks her who she is. She says her name is Aarti, and that Sandhya sent her. Ved begs her for Sandhya's whereabouts, but she abruptly leaves. He follows her, but she tells him that this would make Sandhya refuse to let her come to him next time; but if he shows restraint she would call him soon and fix a meeting, where she would tell him more about Sandhya. After he leaves, she calls someone on the phone saying that she has met Vedant.
Sid is fuming as Vikram plays the tape of his confession, in front of Vasu and Shreya who are at the police station. Sid says that Vikram is doing all this to shield Vasu. Shreya demands why Vikram is accusing Sid when she knows that the woman in the burqa was Vasudha. Vikram says, if that was so, you were present at the murder scene too, and I can throw you in jail. So just don't meddle in this case. Vasu pleads with her to come with her, because there is proof against Sid and no proof against herself. For once Shreya obeys. Later when Naina comes, Vikram tells Sid that she helped him to nail him. Sid tells Naina that she has betrayed him. She says that it was he who used her; now she will tell Shreya everything, and both of them will come here everyday to watch his torment.
Vikram barges into the DD office, and tells Sushant that since he blackened the name of the police by his recent reports in the paper, he should now be true to his search for truth and publish that the DRS case is solved, and that Sid is the murderer. After Vikram leaves, a thoughtful Sushant goes give the order for the news to be published. His phone rings, and it is his mother, who has just arrived in town. She is going to the mansion to meet her bahu. Sush tries to explain things to her but the call has already ended.
Shreya is at the house, refusing to believe that Sid killed DRS. Vedika is adding fuel to the fire. Both insinuate that Vikram is doing all this for Vasu. Vaus says that Shreya herself doesn't trust Sid, because she suspected him of stealing her jewellery; there is no proof against her so she should not accuse her of Sid's crimes.
Just then the bell rings, and it is Sushant's mom at the door. She declares she has come to meet her bahu. Both Vasu and Ved come forward, but she grabs Vasu's hand and starts tying a sacred thread on her wrist. Just then Sush yells at her to stop.
Preview: Sush is telling his mom that they should take shagun for Vedika. She says she has already accepted Vasu as her bahu, and she will got the house with shagun only for her.👏
