The episode starts with Jia placing a garland on Gayatri’s photo and saying, “It’s perfect.” Umesh removes the garland and questions her about it. Jia tells Gayatri, “I know you’ll die missing Karthik, so I arranged this,” and asks if the photo looks good. Lakshmi scolds her, asking if she has lost her senses. Jia says, “Karthik will never return, so Gayatri will die.”
Gayatri, enraged, starts strangling Jia and demands she tell her about her son. Jia pushes her away. The family consoles Gayatri. Jia claims she was just joking and says, “You all tried to kill me. I only came to collect my luggage.” Umesh orders her to leave. She leaves. Umesh tells Lakshmi that they must search for Karthik themselves, as Jia can’t be trusted.**
Jia tells the driver to load her suitcase into the car. Sanjana arrives with another suitcase and insists Jia take all her belongings. The driver loads it into the car, and Jia leaves. Sanjana prays for Lakshmi’s success. As per the plan, Lakshmi emerges from one of the suitcases. The car stops at a secluded location. Lakshmi sneaks out of the trunk. Jia enters a nearby building where some goons inform her that Karthik is refusing to eat. They leave to have their lunch.
Jia confronts Karthik and says, “I know you love your family, so stop forcing me to hurt them. Forget Lakshmi and accept me—we can start fresh.” She gets no response. From a distance, Lakshmi watches everything unfold. Jia warns Karthik not to try anything funny as her men are nearby. She steps aside. Lakshmi enters and discovers that it’s only a mannequin, not Karthik. Jia returns and mocks Lakshmi for falling into her trap. She says, “You came to take Karthik? Here, take this doll.” Lakshmi demands to know Karthik’s whereabouts. Jia taunts her, saying she’s happy Lakshmi got defeated.
Jia reveals, “I knew you were in the suitcase—it was too heavy, and my eyes are sharp.” Lakshmi pleads for information. Jia smugly says, “I’m taking Karthik far away from you. Tonight, I’m leaving the country with him. You’ll never see him again.” Lakshmi argues that Karthik hates her and it’s wrong to force love. Jia insists, “Karthik will be mine,” and leaves. Lakshmi worries she’ll never find Karthik if he leaves the country and calls Nidhi for help.
Meanwhile, the car transporting Karthik gets a flat tire. He takes advantage of the situation and escapes after attacking the goons. Nidhi informs Lakshmi that Karthik’s watch tracker is active and shares the location. While goons chase Karthik, Lakshmi spots the nearby location on her phone. She stops an auto, pays the fare, and begins searching for Karthik.
