Sowmya dismisses his concerns, saying it’s a waste of time to meet him. Adit asks why she’s speaking this way. He explains that Akshat is a good boy, and they sent him to boarding school for his own betterment, but now his situation seems to be getting worse. Sowmya reminds him that she paid 4 lakhs for his fees and advises him to stop thinking emotionally. She tells him that Akshat has changed because of his father’s death and Mangal’s behavior. She then reassures him that she didn’t plan their baby, as she considers his kids her own. She says she wants the best for Akshat and will take care of everything, so he shouldn’t stress about the children. He agrees. She offers to make him a cold coffee before leaving.
The teacher informs the principal that Akshat tasted the cake and ran after the lady, claiming she was his mother.

Sowmya scolds Kusum for wasting the milk and tells her not to invite anyone over. She also asks Kusum to stay away from the kitchen.
The teacher calls Mangal, telling her that Akshat is crying after eating her cake and is insisting that she is his mother. Mangal asks if it’s Akshat Saxena, and when the teacher confirms, Mangal says she’s on her way. She asks the driver to make a U-turn, but he tells her it’s not possible because the U-turn is 10 km away. Mangal stops the car and runs towards the school. On her way, she trips over a stone and injures herself but continues running.
The teacher informs the principal that the woman is indeed Akshat’s mother, and her name is Mangal. Akshat, hearing this, exclaims that it is his mother. The teacher offers to clean his wounds, but he refuses, insisting that he wants his mother. Mangal arrives at the school just in time.
Akshat happily runs towards his mother, and Mangal hugs him. He asks why she left him and expresses how much he misses her. Mangal replies, “I missed you so much too, and I came back. Please calm down.” She notices Akshat’s injuries and asks about them. The teacher says he is refusing first aid. Akshat asks again why she left him. Mangal tells the teacher and principal to give them some space. They agree and leave. Mangal tends to his wounds and says, “Mom can’t live without you, that’s why I came back on your birthday. I can’t live without you either.” Akshat says, “No one loved me after you left. No one even came to school to see me. I feel scared in this school, and I missed you so much.” He asks again why she left him. Mangal replies, “Circumstances forced me to leave, but I’m back now, and I will stay with you forever. No one can separate us.” He applies cream on her wound and asks if she takes him with her. Mangal tells him that she will take him with her. He feels happy.
The episode starts with Mona, who is entering the jail as a new prisoner. She sees Lakshmi washing vessels. Mona recalls how Jia had approached her with a task. Mona mixes medicine into her tea and then she intentionally spills Lakshmi’s tea. She then asks Lakshmi to drink her tea. Lakshmi refuses, but Mona forces her to drink it.
Meanwhile, Karthik arrives home and regrets losing the evidence he had gathered. He wonders how he can find it again. He sees the Pandit chanting mantras in front of the havan. Jia runs to Karthik, asking him to get ready because, after the pooja, they will get married. Karthik looks conflicted. Jia tells him he can wear his regular clothes and come to fill her hair partition with sindoor. She shows him the sindoor box. Karthik thinks to himself, My wife is only Lakshmi, and I will die before filling Jia’s mang with sindoor. He pretends to feel dizzy, drops the sindoor box into the havan, and burns his hands. Everyone rushes to Karthik in concern. Gayatri asks how his hand got burned and tells Sanjana to get burnol.
Back in jail, Lakshmi is about to drink the tea, but the constable scolds her for taking too long. In her tension, she drops the cup. The constable tells her that she needs to cook for everyone in the jail today and leaves. Mona thinks about how Jia had told her to finish the task today and wonders how to proceed.
Gayatri applies cream to Karthik’s hand and asks why he suddenly felt dizzy. He says he doesn’t know what happened, and even the sindoor fell into the havan. Jia brings another sindoor box and asks him to fill her mang. Umesh scolds her for not considering Karthik’s situation. Gayatri asks Jia to give Karthik some space. Jia insists that it’s just sindoor. Karthik struggles to touch the sindoor. Pandit says that the sindoor falling into the havan is an inauspicious sign, and the good time has now ended. Gayatri suggests that Jia wait, as Karthik only loves her. Jia agrees but asks Pandit to find another auspicious muhurat for the marriage.
Later, Umesh tells Gayatri that he suspects Karthik remembers his past because he feels that Karthik intentionally stopped the marriage. Gayatri responds, “If that’s true, then Karthik might not allow Lakshmi to get arrested, so don’t jump to conclusions.” Karthik wakes up, feeling that something bad is going to happen to Lakshmi. Jia, on the phone with Prema, vents her frustration, saying she can’t wait to marry Karthik. Karthik overhears and is shocked by Jia’s words. Prema asks what will happen to Lakshmi, since she’s his first wife. Jia coldly replies that there’s no need to worry, as she has planned Lakshmi’s death. She will not come out of jail alive. Karthik leaves quietly.
Meanwhile, Mona cuts the gas line. The warden scolds a prisoner for not preparing the food quickly enough. Lakshmi answers back, but the warden reprimands her and orders everyone to leave the kitchen, saying that Lakshmi will cook alone. The other prisoners warn that the food will be delayed if Lakshmi has to cook alone, but the warden ignores them. Mona thinks to herself that the warden has made her task easier.
Meanwhile, Karthik prays for Lakshmi’s safety. A prisoner tells the warden that she smells gas leaking, but the warden dismisses it. Lakshmi searches for the matchbox and lights it. There is an explosion. Karthik arrives at the station and is shocked to witness the blast. He runs inside, shouting Lakshmi’s name. He asks if anyone has seen her, but no one responds. The inspector stops Karthik from going to the kitchen and assures him that he will check on Lakshmi and inform him of what happened. Later, the inspector tells Karthik that Lakshmi was the one cooking when the blast happened, and it’s unlikely she survived. Jia thanks Mona for carrying out the plan perfectly.
The episode ends.
