The episode begins with Lakshmi working in the kitchen. Karthik joins her and helps with the cooking. They share some sweet moments while preparing paneer parathas. Karthik offers Lakshmi a bite, but before she can take it, Jia snatches it and eats it, saying she loves it. Sanjana scolds Jia, and in response, Jia slaps herself and says, “I’m a bad girl.” Karthik gently tells her not to hurt herself, gives her a paratha, and asks her to sit in the hall and eat. Lakshmi agrees, and Jia leaves.
Karthik then tells Sanjana that her behavior toward Jia is wrong. Sanjana argues that Jia is manipulating them and that they’re foolish for believing she’s mentally unstable. Frustrated, she tells them to do what they want and walks away.
Later, Karthik receives a phone call and informs Lakshmi that they need to arrange a party for industry people. However, he suggests canceling it because Jia is difficult to manage. Lakshmi assures him that she will keep Jia in control and encourages him to host the party at home. Impressed, Karthik calls Lakshmi the best. Lakshmi smiles and goes to give Jia her medicine. Jia refuses to take it, but Lakshmi cleverly tricks her into taking it. She then asks Jia to stay in her room and returns to the kitchen.
Unbeknownst to Lakshmi, Jia throws the medicine into a plant.
Gayatri comes to the kitchen and sees Lakshmi working. Lakshmi asks, “Why did you come here, Maa? If you had called me, I would have come to your room.” Noticing her tense expression, she asks if something is wrong. Gayatri apologizes to Lakshmi, admitting her past mistakes. She says she didn’t want Lakshmi in Karthik’s life out of selfishness. Lakshmi responds empathetically, saying she understands and knows how much Gayatri loves Karthik. Grateful, Gayatri thanks her, but then expresses concern about Jia. She says she doesn’t trust Jia and wants her sent away from the house, as her presence always disrupts their peace.
During the party, Karthik is busy with the guests while Lakshmi manages the arrangements. Karthik compliments her efforts and asks her to make sure Jia doesn’t come to the party. Lakshmi agrees and heads to Jia’s room, where she finds Jia getting ready. Surprised, she asks why. Jia says she wants to attend the party. Lakshmi tries to dissuade her by saying the party is boring and suggests they play a game instead. They decide to play hide and seek. When Lakshmi hides in the cupboard, Jia slyly says she’s going to the party, locks the room from outside, and leaves. Lakshmi bangs on the door but finds it locked.
Back at the party, the guests start to get impatient and prepare to leave. Karthik requests them to stay for the cake-cutting. Suddenly, Jia enters the party and ruins the cake by eating it. Everyone is shocked. The guests question Jia’s behavior and mental state. Karthik tries to calm her down, but Jia ignores him. People begin mocking her appearance, and Jia lashes out, calling them bad people and telling them not to look at her. When someone suggests Jia is mentally unstable, she screams, “I’m not mad!” and attacks the guests. Karthik struggles to control her. The guests, insulted and upset, accuse Karthik of organizing a humiliating event.
Meanwhile, Sanjana unlocks Lakshmi’s room and asks what she was doing inside. Lakshmi tells her Jia locked her in. Sanjana informs her that Jia is creating a scene downstairs. They rush to the party and find the industry guests leaving angrily, scolding Karthik.
Karthik confronts Lakshmi, asking why she failed to control Jia. Lakshmi scolds Jia for locking her in and attending the party. Suddenly, Jia faints and falls unconscious. Karthik scolds Lakshmi for failing to control Jia. Karthik calls doctor and tells him that Jia fell unconscious. Doctor scolds them for allowing Jia in party. Karthik asks for solution. Doctor says I will send you tablet. Lakshmi apologises to Karthik. Karthik says I did wrong by trusting you and I and Jia became Joke infront of Industry people. He leaves in fury. Lakshmi feels bad.
