The episode starts with Lakshmi seeing Karan at home. She asks him how he came back so early. Karan, noticing her anxiety, asks if something happened, as she looks scared. Lakshmi hides the truth that she secretly sent Krish’s samples for DNA testing with Karthik and doesn’t reveal anything. Karan recalls Krish’s words: “Lakshmi will not tell you the truth even if you ask her.”
The doctor advises Krish to take care of his facial skin after the recent surgery. Lakshmi receives the DNA report and, upon seeing it, realizes that Krish is actually her Karthik. Shocked, she stands frozen. Karan arrives and asks her what happened, but Lakshmi says nothing. Karan recalls Krish’s words and, in anger, hits the wall. Lakshmi stops him. Karan confronts her, saying she is hiding things from him and betraying him. He accuses her of contacting Krish behind his back. Lakshmi asks how he knows. Karan responds that the truth cannot be hidden and that he realized it when Krish came, but she lied to him. He demands to know what is between her and Krish. Lakshmi explains that her past has resurfaced in a new face and hands him the DNA report. Karan sees the report and is stunned, saying, “So Karthik and Krish are the same?” He is shocked because the police had confirmed Karthik was dead. Lakshmi says the DNA report cannot be fabricated. Karan doubts Krish might be trying to fool them, but Lakshmi insists she conducted the test secretly to ensure the truth. Karan collapses in shock.
Krish is seen readying a mannequin dressed as a bride. Jia confronts him, asking what he is doing and why he is preparing a bride. Krish explains that he is rehearsing to imagine how his bride, Lakshmi, will look in a wedding dress. Jia reminds him that they came to take revenge on Lakshmi, but he seems to be dreaming about settling with her. Krish tells her that while they are working together, their targets are different. Jia observes quietly.
Lakshmi, disguised as a helper boy, enters Krish’s cabin and sees his accounts. She notices he is transferring money to Karthik’s parents and spending lavishly on a beauty clinic. She takes photos of the bank statements. Suddenly, she hears footsteps and hides. Krish enters, opens his laptop, and looks at photos of Karthik and Lakshmi. From her hiding spot, Lakshmi wonders why Krish has her and Karthik’s photos. She realizes her suspicion was correct—Krish is indeed Karthik.
Maddy asks Karan to stop drinking and stop acting like Devdas over Lakshmi. Karan says not to stop him today, as he is in pain. He fears that Lakshmi might leave him if Krish turns out to be Karthik, her first love. He cries, saying he cannot live without Lakshmi.
The next day, Lakshmi goes to the hospital to inquire about Krish, showing the bills. The doctor refuses to give her any information. However, a nurse stops her and says she can provide details. She explains that the patient used to sing well, but his face was destroyed and changed after surgery, and she has belongings related to him. Lakshmi receives the items and realizes they belong to Karthik. Overwhelmed, she walks onto the road. She calls Krish and asks him to meet her immediately.
Krish arrives in his car, and Lakshmi demands that he tell her who he really is, threatening to jump in front of the vehicle if he does not. Krish confirms, “Yes, I am your Karthik, and you are my Maha Lakshmi.” Lakshmi is shocked. Suddenly, Jia hits Lakshmi with her car in an attempt to kill her and flees. Karthik rushes to Lakshmi, who has fallen on the road with injuries. He tries to help her up, but Lakshmi loses consciousness. He worries for her.
