The episode begins with Shanti looking for an auto. Kusum approaches her and admits that she feels guilty for her actions. Kusum pleads with Shanti for forgiveness, explaining that everything she did was to protect Mangal’s reputation, but things spiraled out of control. Shanti tells Kusum that she understands her intentions but cannot ignore the fact that Adit’s actions have repeatedly brought shame upon them. Shanti points out that three lives—Akshat, Ishana, and Mangal—are now at stake. Kusum admits that she is unsure of what to do. Shanti suggests that Kusum should abort Sowmya’s baby.
Meanwhile, Mangal notices Sowmya falling to the floor while exercising. Concerned, she asks Sowmya to be more careful. Sowmya responds that she is always careful and adds a remark. Mangal emphasizes that her concern is for the baby in Sowmya’s womb. Sowmya retorts that she knows how to take care of her own baby and comments further.
Kusum tells Shanti that she cannot do something as extreme as abortion, calling it a sin. Shanti urges Kusum to think about Akshat and Ishana’s futures. She asks Kusum whether she wants Akshat and Ishana to grow up being referred to as “abandoned children.” Shanti advises Kusum to reconsider and leaves.
Elsewhere, Lakshmi is packing Karthik’s lunchbox when Gayatri informs her that Jia has come to pick up Karthik. Gayatri says Karthik will have lunch with Jia, so Lakshmi need not worry about the food. Lakshmi agrees.
Jia asks Karthik if they should leave. Karthik reminds her that he only accepted her offer because his car isn’t working. Jia asks him to relax, and they leave. Lakshmi watches Jia’s car drive away.
Later, a broker shows Mangal a house and asks if she likes it. Mangal says she does but will make a final decision after showing it to her mother-in-law. The broker suggests she show it to her husband as well. Mangal explains that she is separated. The broker then informs her that the flat is only for families, not single women, and leaves.
As Mangal steps out, she encounters an elderly woman who asks for food. Mangal goes into a nearby hotel to buy something for her. Inside, she sees Sowmya drinking alcohol with friends. Shocked, Mangal confronts Sowmya, asking what she is doing in such a condition. Adit arrives and asks Mangal why she is there. Mangal explains that she came to buy food for an elderly woman and points out that Sowmya is drinking alcohol despite being pregnant.
Adit questions Sowmya about her actions. Sowmya’s friends overhear the conversation and congratulate her. However, Sowmya clarifies that she is drinking apple juice and offers Adit a sip to confirm. Adit then accuses Mangal of creating unnecessary drama and comments on her behavior.
It is revealed that Sowmya saw Mangal enter the hotel and quickly poured apple juice into her glass to avoid suspicion.
As Mangal leaves the hotel, Sowmya follows her and accuses her of constantly interfering in her life, making additional comments before walking away.
Meanwhile, Kusum is shown to be distracted while buying vegetables. A neighbor congratulates her on Mangal’s pregnancy. Kusum worries that if the truth comes out, their family’s reputation will be ruined.
At Adit’s house, Kusum tells Sowmya to accompany her to the clinic. Sowmya agrees without suspecting anything. Later, Kusum calls Shanti to inform her that she is bringing Sowmya to the clinic. Shanti responds that they will proceed with the abortion there.
