Sowmya thinks to herself that Mangal will return home soon. Shanti, on the other hand, expresses her happiness for Mangal, saying it’s rare for anyone from their family to travel abroad. Sowmya complains to Adit that no one cares about them and suggests they leave. Adit agrees, and they both leave together.
Later, Akshat notices that both Adit and Sowmya are missing. Shanti remarks that they might have left. Meanwhile, Mangal worries about airport formalities, and Ishana assures her by promising to send a video guide. Mangal thanks her for the help.
At the airport, Sowmya tells Adit that they can visit the beach once they reach Sri Lanka. However, a security officer asks her for her passport. Sowmya checks and finds that her passport details are not visible. She offers to show the digital copy on her phone, but the officer refuses and warns her to step aside until she produces a valid passport. On the other hand, Mangal successfully gets permission to enter the airport, which shocks Sowmya. Desperate, Sowmya attempts to bribe the officer but fails. Adit suggests she return home to retrieve her passport.
Meanwhile, Shanti prays to Maa Rani, asking her to give Adit and Mangal some time together and to keep Sowmya away. Kusum informs Shanti that their prayers have been answered. It is revealed that Kusum had swapped Sowmya’s passport with Mangal’s, and Sowmya unknowingly damaged her own passport. Back home, Sowmya searches for her passport and confronts Kusum, asking if they’ve seen it. Shanti feigns ignorance, claiming they wouldn’t even recognize a passport. As Sowmya continues her search, Shanti praises Kusum for her plan.
When Sowmya fails to find her passport, she calls Adit and pleads with him not to leave without her. Adit explains that he has already checked in and cannot cancel the trip. At the airport, Mangal faces trouble during check-in, but Adit helps her, and she successfully gets her boarding pass. Mangal feels elated.

Meanwhile, Jia calls Gayatri and questions her support for Lakshmi. She warns Gayatri not to push her, threatening her wrath, and abruptly ends the call. Gayatri turns to see Lakshmi standing there. Lakshmi comforts Gayatri, assuring her that Karthik will be released the next day as they have secured proof. Gayatri agrees. Just then, Raghuveer calls Lakshmi, and she leaves. Unbeknownst to her, Sanjana follows her.
Lakshmi and Raghuveer visit the photographer’s shop. The photographer informs them that the footage he previously provided is gone, and he only has wedding footage left. As Lakshmi reviews the footage, they discover photos showing Jia forcing Karthik and framing him. Lakshmi asks if the photos are sufficient as evidence.
