Today’s episode begins with Dua asking Vikrant for help saying that she needs him to accompany her to meet Neetu. She explains that Mannat had clearly told her she cannot go alone and if an adult goes along there won’t be any problem. She requests Vikrant to come with her.
Vikrant thinks that this will give him a chance to meet Neetu as well. Dua reminds him that he once said they could be friends so he should come along with her to the hospital. Vikrant agrees. Meanwhile Bunty warns Dua that if the truth comes out she will get scolded badly. Dua confidently replies that she will only be scolded if she goes alone. Bunty then asks if Vikrant is really an adult. Vikrant gets confused and asks why he’s asking that. Bunty jokingly says that Vikrant’s moustache is too small to look like an adult and everyone bursts into laughter.
Mannat Plan to Trap Aishwarya Fails
Aishwarya tells Dhairya that she will bring herbal paste for him so he can apply it and rest. However Dhairya stops her and says instead she should sit with him and teach him meditation. In reality he is trying to keep her engaged so Mannat can install a hidden camera in Aishwarya’s room.
Mannat fails to fix the camera and comes there pretending to argue with Dhairya. They both create a scene in front of Arzoo. Mannat scolds Dhairya for disturbing Arzoo at such a late hour. Dhairya in return complains that Mannat keeps bossing around him. He reminds her that he is an ACP and questions how she can disrespect him and take decisions without discussing with him.
Aishwarya interrupts saying that Dhairya has already had a drink and no matter how much he argues now it’s pointless. Mannat apologizes to Aishwarya and takes Dhairya away. Aishwarya gets irritated thinking that her mood has been completely ruined.
Dua Meets Neetu
Meanwhile Vikrant brings Dua to meet Neetu and waits outside the room. Dua enters hugs Neetu and breaks down emotionally. She tells her how much she missed her.
Dua shares that her chef competition is going really well. She proudly says that she used her secret recipe and won the first round. She updates Neetu that Mannat and Dhairya are doing fine but were busy so she came with Vikrant. She describes Vikrant as a very complicated person someone who gets angry easily scolds her over small things and even scares her with his intense eyes. But she also admits that sometimes he becomes kind and talks very sweetly. Dua share how she and Yuvi once got locked inside a freezer and Vikrant saved her life. She also mentions that Vikrant paid for her treatment but put a condition that she must participate in the competition.
She confesses that sometimes she feels angry at him but when he talks to her lovingly her anger disappears. She admits she is confused she doesn’t know whether Vikrant is a good person or not or whether she likes him. But one thing is certain for her he is a very good person. Outside Vikrant overhears everything. Listening to Dua reminds him of Mannat. Seeing Neetu in this condition makes him emotional.
Vikrant’s Emotional Confession
Dua tells Neetu that she has so much more to say even if Neetu isn’t responding. Vikrant feels a strange sense of peace listening to her. Dua gets emotional and Vikrant enters the room to comfort her. He explains that Neetu is sleeping because of her medication but will recover soon. He assures her that Neetu will soon talk to her again.
Vikrant recalls both the good and painful memories with his mother. He tells Dua something deeply emotional that one should never love someone so much that their absence takes away all the colors and happiness from life. He admits that after Neetu left all peace disappeared from his life. But somehow because of Dua he is beginning to feel that peace again. He says he doesn’t understand what kind of bond he shares with her. Dua gets confused and says she doesn’t understand what he is trying to say. Vikrant quickly changes the topic and suggests they should leave so Neetu can rest. Before leaving he touches Neetu’s feet respectfully.
After he leaves Neetu wakes up and sees him going. She realizes that he came to see her and feels emotional. She believes that only Dua can reunite everyone again. The only delay is because Vikrant doesn’t know the truth that Dua is not Dhairya’s daughter but his own blood. She prays to God for everything to fall into place.
Aishwarya Grows Suspicious
Later Aishwarya thinks that Dhairya has gone mad. She suspects that seeing Mannat crying for Vikrant might have affected him mentally. Irritated she decides to take medicine and sleep.
However she notices that things in her room are slightly disturbed. This makes her suspicious that someone might have entered her room. She leaves to check.
Failed Attempt to Install the Camera
Mannat and Dhairya notice Aishwarya stepping out and see it as the perfect opportunity to install the camera. As they head toward her room they find Deepak standing guard outside.
Dhairya questions Deepak who explains that Arzoo asked him to guard the room. Dhairya tries to send him away but fails. Mannat then takes Yuvi’s help. Yuvi cleverly calls Deepak and demands a milkshake threatening to complain to Vikrant if he refuses. Deepak leaves immediately. Mannat thanks Yuvi and Dhairya is surprised to see Yuvi helping her. Yuvi says he doesn’t want to be sent to boarding school. Mannat assures him that she won’t let him be punished for something he didn’t do. Yuvi hugs Dua and she advises him not to speak rudely to Deepak again. He agrees.
However their plan fails again as Aishwarya returns locks her room and leaves. Mannat gets frustrated saying everything went to waste.
Dhairya Feels Threatened
Vikrant brings Dua back home. Mannat and Dhairya are shocked to see her with him. Dhairya questions where she went so late at night.
Dua replies that she went to meet Neetu and since Mannat and Dhairya were busy Vikrant took her. Dhairya reminds her that he had promised to take her himself so why did she go without informing him? Dua clarifies that she wasn’t alone Vikrant was with her and he is an adult. She even jokes that just because he doesn’t have a big moustache like Dhairya doesn’t mean he isn’t an adult. Mannat laughs at this. Dhairya feels that Vikrant is deliberately trying to take his place. Dua insists that Vikrant is a good person.
Dhairya scolds Vikrant for taking Dua without permission. Vikrant apologizes saying Dua insisted a lot and he didn’t realize she hadn’t informed them. He adds that she isn’t a stranger she is like his niece. Dua immediately questions this asking why he is calling her his niece when they are not related. Mannat quickly clarifies that Dua is just a contestant in his competition and has no personal relationship with him. She firmly tells Vikrant that from now on if Dua asks him for anything he must inform them first. She also instructs Dua not to go anywhere without informing them.
Dua thanks Vikrant and apologizes because he got scolded due to her. Dhairya takes Dua away and Mannat leaves to prepare for Vikrant and Yashika’s mehendi ceremony.
Vikrant reflects on recent events and feels that Mannat and Dhairya worried about Dua. He senses a strange emotional pull toward her but doesn’t understand why.
