Koel and Saraswati have a heartfelt conversation about Vedika. They both agree that Vedika’s actions were wrong. Saraswati, clearly hurt, expresses her disappointment with Vedika, feeling that Vedika has played with her emotions. Despite everything, Saraswati admits that she still finds it hard not to believe Vedika’s words, which leaves her feeling even more confused and betrayed. Overwhelmed with emotion, Saraswati breaks down in front of Koel, and the two share a comforting hug. Meanwhile, Mayuri, ever the schemer, listens in on their conversation from outside the room.
On the other side, Vedika is struggling with her own emotions. She vents her frustrations to Padma about her inability to convince Saraswati that she is indeed her real daughter. Padma, in her usual calm manner, advises Vedika to let go of her emotions rather than keeping them bottled up inside. In a moment of vulnerability, Vedika hugs Padma and reassures her foster parents that she isn’t feeling bad, despite everything. She shares that when she hugged Saraswati, she felt the same warmth and connection as she does when hugging Padma. This moment makes her more determined to follow through on her plans.
Padma, curious about Vedika’s next steps, asks her what she intends to do. Vedika reveals that she has already taken the first step against the Chakravyuh, an ominous force she plans to defeat. She is determined to keep the promise she made to Saraswati and looks at a file given to her by Kishorilal, which she believes will help her execute her plan. The file gives Vedika hope that she is on the right track.
Meanwhile, at the Maheswari house, tension is brewing. Rajeshwari confronts Mayuri about a suspicious message she received when Vedika came to reveal her true identity. Rajeshwari also accuses Mayuri of stealing a sacred Kalash from Vedika’s house and tampering with Koel’s DNA report. In a fit of rage, Rajeshwari grabs Mayuri by the throat, choking her. Fortunately, Koel arrives just in time to save Mayuri from Rajeshwari’s wrath. Koel sternly warns Rajeshwari not to cross her limits, reminding her that she is Saraswati’s daughter, Jahnvi, and that she will not tolerate such behavior.
Rajeshwari, still fuming, makes a snide remark about Koel’s words, but Koel is quick to retaliate. She threatens to expose Rajeshwari’s dirty politics to the entire world, claiming that both she and Vedika are fully aware of Rajeshwari’s misdeeds. After issuing her threat, Koel leaves the room with Mayuri, leaving Rajeshwari seething with anger.
Koel, now anxious, pleads with Mayuri to leave the Maheswari house as soon as possible, fearing that it is too dangerous for them to stay any longer. She shares her fear of losing Mayuri, but Mayuri tries to calm her down, reassuring her that nothing bad will happen. She even praises Koel for her convincing act towards Saraswati. However, Koel admits that her feelings for Saraswati are genuine and that she didn’t act. Despite her hatred for Vedika, Koel feels guilty for deceiving both Saraswati and Vedika. She confesses to Mayuri that she is doing all of this solely for Mayuri’s happiness before leaving the room.
Alone with her thoughts, Mayuri reflects on Koel’s words. She begins to worry about Koel discovering her true identity. Her alter ego appears, taunting her with the possibility that once Vedika learns the truth about Koel, nothing will stop Koel from reuniting with her real family. Determined not to let this happen, Mayuri vows to prevent Koel from discovering the truth.
The next day, Sagar questions Koel about her next plan, but Koel dodges the question with a weak excuse and quickly leaves. Rajeshwari, sensing an opportunity, arrives with Digvijay and suggests that Sagar and Koel should get married, now that it’s been revealed that Koel is the real Jahnvi. This suggestion shocks everyone, including Vedika, who is visibly hurt by Rajeshwari’s words.
As the episode draws to a close, the precap hints at more drama to come. Saraswati shares a wish with Koel, and Vedika offers to help fulfill it. Meanwhile, Sagar is determined to prove to everyone that Koel is not the real Jahnvi, setting the stage for even more tension and conflict in the episodes to come.
Episode ends.
