Ayush is worried about Rishi and Lakshmi, and mistakenly thinks it’s morning when it’s still night. Shalu calls Ayush and asks where he is. She also asks why he didn’t call her.Ayush explains that he fell asleep while waiting for them, as his body was exhausted after fighting the goons. Shalu scolds him, saying he should have gone to search for them during the night. Ayush replies that he will go and search for them now. Shalu and Bani tell him they will come to help.
Ayush calls the goon using the goon’s phone and asks if they’ve found Rishi and Lakshmi. The goon says they haven’t been found yet and asks what happened to Ayush’s voice. Ayush lies, saying he searched for them all night, stayed awake, and then had a drink. He asks the goon to end the call and continue searching. Ayush is relieved that Rishi and Lakshmi haven’t been found yet and decides to go himself.
Rishi brings Lakshmi back to his locality and tells Ayush that she had disappeared early in the morning. Ayush gives him water, and Rishi drinks it. He explains that they slept in a shop or godown. Ayush says he had been there too.Rishi says he thought a cat or someone had entered the shop. He explains that when he woke up, Lakshmi wasn’t there, but he found her in a temple. A flashback shows Rishi finding Lakshmi in the temple and asking her not to go anywhere.
Lakshmi sees a goon about to attack Rishi and signals to him. Rishi gets alerted and turns to face the goon. Lakshmi faints, and Rishi holds her head. Just then, a nurse calls Rishi, asking if he remembers her. She says she was his nurse and asks him to get medicine for Lakshmi.Rishi says he will, but the nurse asks if he has money. When he doesn’t, she gives him money and asks him to get the medicine. Rishi brings the medicine, and the nurse gives Lakshmi an injection. She suggests they take Lakshmi to the hospital, but Rishi says they can’t because the goons are still after them.
The nurse suggests getting police protection, but Rishi refuses, saying he can’t risk it and will take Lakshmi home. The nurse insists on dropping them home, and they leave. Flashback ends. Rishi tells Ayush that the nurse dropped them there, but he doesn’t have the keys, so he’ll have to break the lock.Ayush suggests going to the Oberoi mansion, but Rishi refuses, saying Lakshmi’s grah pravesh happened here, and this is their home now.
Meanwhile, Neelam recalls how Lakshmi sensed Rishi was in trouble, Rishi’s love confession, and his choice of Lakshmi over her. She remembers moments with him since he was born, as a song plays in the background.The inspector arrives and informs Virender that Rishi burned the goon’s kothi. Virender asks if they are safe, and the inspector assures him that Rishi and Lakshmi are safe. Malishka overhears this conversation.
The inspector warns that the goons are dangerous and will seek revenge on Rishi, Lakshmi, and their family. He assures them that nothing will happen to them and leaves. Malishka then plans to poison their minds against Lakshmi, saying that Rishi has risked their lives for her.Virender cuts her off, saying he won’t tolerate anything against Lakshmi and that he’s heard enough. He tells Neelam that Rishi refused to come to the mansion because he didn’t want to endanger their lives.
Karishma chimes in with something against Virender, but he shuts her down, reminding them both that whenever Rishi was in trouble, it wasn’t them who saved him—it was Lakshmi. He recalls how they tricked Lakshmi into marrying Rishi, but Lakshmi has always fulfilled her duties as a wife with dedication.Virender tells Neelam that Lakshmi has brought life into their lifeless home, while they accused and cursed her repeatedly. He asks Neelam where her motherly love for Rishi has gone and points out that her hatred for Lakshmi has overshadowed her love for her son.
Malishka, feeling betrayed, accuses Virender of never liking her and favoring Lakshmi. She asks if she is really that bad, wondering why Neelam isn’t supporting her now.Neelam asks Virender, “What did you say? That I did wrong by throwing Rishi out of the house?” She admits that she realizes she has done wrong and committed an injustice against her son. She reflects, “I don’t know when my motherly love turned into stubbornness. I only wanted his happiness, and yet, I asked him to leave. I’ve made a big mistake.”
Dadi interjects, telling Neelam that she also did an injustice to Lakshmi. Neelam agrees, admitting, “You’re right. I couldn’t see that Rishi’s happiness was with her. I cursed her repeatedly, but she risked her life to save my son many times. Yet, I called her inauspicious. I accept that I’ve made a huge mistake.”Dadi reassures Neelam, saying, “No, it’s enough that you have realized your mistake. Now, happiness will return to this house.” Neelam hugs Dadi. Dadi then turns to Karishma, asking if she has any objections. Karishma responds, “Bhabhi can never be wrong. I will always stand by her.”
Neelam asks Virender to go and bring Rishi back safely. Virender asks, “What about Lakshmi?” Neelam replies, “Bring both Rishi and Lakshmi to me. I will do anything. Just bring my son and his wife back home.” Malishka is stunned, thinking she’s having a nightmare. She realizes that Neelam has asked for Lakshmi to return and laments that despite all her efforts, Lakshmi will expose her.
Virender receives a message from Rishi through the doctor’s phone, telling him that they are safe and on their way home. He asks Virender to inform Neelam and ensure she takes care. Dadi, touched, comments, “He’s in trouble, but still worries for you.” Neelam, tearful, says she couldn’t see his love before, and urges Virender to bring them home.Malishka reminds Virender to tell Rishi to stay safe from the goons, while Neelam asks Virender to also tell Rishi that his mother wants him to return home. Virender leaves to find Rishi and Lakshmi. Dadi expresses gratitude, saying that God has done a great favor by bringing them together.
Meanwhile, Ayush urges Rishi to come home, but Rishi refuses, asking Ayush to break the house lock so he can bring Lakshmi inside. Virender arrives and asks Rishi to come home, but Rishi insists that Oberoi Mansion is no longer his home. Virender explains that Neelam sent him to bring them both back. Ayush reassures him that everything has been sorted and encourages him to return.
Rishi is doubtful, asking Virender if he’s telling the truth. Virender confirms, and Ayush adds, “Who would dare lie in Neelam mami’s name?” Rishi still hesitates, saying he doesn’t want to leave without consulting Lakshmi. Ayush asks, “Has Bhabhi ever wanted you to separate from your family?” Virender adds, “She wants you to be united with us.” Rishi explains that Lakshmi has self-respect. Virender reassures him, “If she has any concerns, we will convince her. Now, come.” Ayush insists, “You must obey your father.”
Meanwhile, Malishka prays, telling God that despite her deep love for Rishi, no one values her feelings, not even Him. She begs not to be sent to jail. Rishi then informs Virender about Lakshmi’s condition. Virender suggests they bring the nurse to help. Shalu calls Ayush and asks about Rishi and Lakshmi’s whereabouts. Ayush happily informs her that they have been found, and they are all heading to the Oberoi Mansion. Shalu and Bani excitedly tell Rano, who asks them to make halwa for the occasion.
As Rishi and Lakshmi drive back, the goon spots them and begins to follow. Meanwhile, Malishka calls Sonal and shares the shocking news that Neelam has accepted Rishi and Lakshmi’s marriage, making Lakshmi her daughter-in-law. Sonal is stunned and asks if Malishka saw it all happen. Malishka confirms, explaining that Virender gave an emotional speech, after which Neelam asked for Rishi and Lakshmi to return.Sonal, skeptical, asks if Neelam is truly genuine. She warns that Malishka’s plan has backfired, and now Lakshmi will reveal everything, leading Neelam to never forgive her. Sonal advises Malishka to run for her life, but Malishka is determined. She vows not to give Lakshmi a chance to speak.
Ayush, Virender, and Rishi arrive with an unconscious Lakshmi in Rishi’s arms. Dadi is concerned and asks what happened. Rishi explains that she is unconscious but recovering. Dadi invites them inside, but Neelam suddenly says, “Lakshmi will not come inside.” Malishka recalls Sonal’s warning. Virender is confused, reminding Neelam that she had asked him to bring both Rishi and Lakshmi home. Malishka begins to wonder if this was all Neelam’s trick to bring only Rishi back and wonders what Rishi will do next.
