The episode opens with Mallika venting her frustration to Aishwarya, claiming that Mannat always manages to outsmart them. Aishwarya, determined to end Mannat’s streak of victories, teams up with Vishaka to form a new plan. Their first step is to escape from jail and infiltrate the Saluja mansion to begin their revenge mission.
Elsewhere, Neetu emotionally thanks Mannat for revealing long-buried truths, acknowledging her courage. Roni praises Mannat as the perfect partner for Vikrant, while Vikrant lightens the moment with playful complaints. Mannat expresses that her actions were driven by Vikrant’s happiness.
Meanwhile, Vishaka manipulates Dhairya into letting her stay until Aman’s wedding. Though initially firm, Dhairya relents when she threatens self-harm but warns her against further schemes. Vishaka pretends to agree, mocking his trust behind his back.
Dhairya later requests Mannat to allow Vishaka to stay, but Mannat refuses, citing safety concerns. Vikrant interrupts and, unaware of the situation, insists Dhairya should remain as family, later apologizing for past misunderstandings.
In secret, Vishaka informs Aishwarya that their plan is progressing smoothly. When Mannat pointedly ignores Vishaka during a ritual and hands the thaali to Neetu instead, Vishaka feels humiliated. The slight also irks Vikrant, sparking tension and a heated argument between the couple.
