Ishana enters and tells Mangal that her lehenga is missing. Meanwhile, Sowmya tells Kusum that Ishana forgot her lehenga at home and asks her to inform Ishana. Kusum calls Ishana and asks her to come to collect the dress she left behind. Sowmya smirks, thinking that her plan to ruin Ishana’s bond with Adit is working perfectly.
Jia receives a call and agrees to meet Karthik. Later, Ishana arrives at Kusum’s house. Kusum gives her the medicine sent by Mangal and praises Mangal for her care. She then asks Ishana to get her lehenga from the room. Sowmya watches Ishana heading toward the room and thinks it is the perfect moment to execute her plan.
Meanwhile, Jia waits for Karthik at a meeting spot. Lakshmi arrives instead and reveals that she called Jia there. Lakshmi accuses Jia of tricking her by playing a fake audio clip of Karthik. She adds that she trusts Karthik and has already spoken to him. Lakshmi reveals that Jia’s outing with Karthik gave her the opportunity to download the files from his laptop. Furious, Jia tries to slap Lakshmi, but Karthik arrives in time to stop her. He firmly tells Jia that he is married to Lakshmi and asks her to stay out of their lives. Jia attempts to defend herself, but Karthik asks her to leave. After Jia leaves, Karthik tells Lakshmi that he is lucky to have a wife who trusts him. Lakshmi replies that she feels equally lucky.
Elsewhere, Sowmya instructs the decorator to adorn the room with baby photos, announcing that the room will soon become her baby’s nursery. Just then, Mangal enters the room, leaving Ishana dismayed. Meanwhile, Jia is seen crying bitterly at home. Her mother comforts her and promises to help her get Karthik back.
Mangal confronts Sowmya, accusing her of creating differences between Ishana and Adit. She asks Sowmya if she has any shame for such behavior. Mangal further accuses her of deliberately ensuring Ishana overheard her pregnancy news. Sowmya denies it, claiming it wasn’t intentional, but Mangal refuses to believe her. She warns Sowmya not to hurt her children’s feelings again.
At the wedding venue, Mangal oversees the decorations. Chachi Ji taunts Mangal about her new life after Adit’s betrayal. Mangal shuts her down with a sharp rebuke.

Lakshmi offers to help, and Shanti asks her to arrange a performance by Karthik and Jia, as requested by Lipika’s mother-in-law. Though hesitant at first, Lakshmi agrees when Kusum and Shanti insist.
Lakshmi informs Karthik about the request. Karthik firmly refuses to perform with Jia. Just then, Jia arrives with a bouquet, announcing that she is leaving for the USA. She expresses her regret for her past mistakes and pleads for one last chance to perform with Karthik at Lipika’s wedding.
Mangal helps Lipika get ready as a bride and blesses her. Gayatri, Karthik, and Lakshmi arrive at the venue, where Kusum warmly welcomes Gayatri. Shanti asks Lakshmi about Jia.
