Christina announces that Mangal has not arrived yet and remarks on her lateness. Eisha confidently states that Mangal is on her way, but Christina insists that rules are rules and declares herself the winner, ready to take the trophy. Just then, Mangal arrives on time, and Adit runs to her, embracing her joyfully. Eisha captures the heartfelt moment on video. Meanwhile, Sowmya suspects that Mangal is manipulating Adit, recalling how he shouted at her for the first time because of Mangal. She wonders if Mangal’s disappearance was a calculated move, particularly since she stopped Sowmya from accompanying Adit to Sri Lanka.
Adit shares his deep concern for Mangal and asks where she had been. Mangal explains everything, and Adit expresses regret for leaving her behind, admitting it was a mistake. Mangal, however, points out that he has a habit of leaving her alone. Steve, impressed by her resilience, applauds her as a survivor. Eisha translates his words to Mangal and tells her that Steve has always believed in her strength. Sowmya becomes suspicious as she secretly observes Mangal. She notices Mangal drinking from a steel glass and mocks herself for wasting time in the household. Shanti, watching Sowmya in her frustrated state, remains quiet.
Mangal thanks Steve for his support, but Christina insists that Mangal is disqualified for being late. Mangal defends herself, explaining how hard she tried to reach on time. Eisha informs Mangal that Christina is adamant about canceling the competition and insists she accept defeat. Steve intervenes, reminding everyone that he is in charge, and declares that Mangal made it with a minute to spare. He announces that the competition will resume after a break. Relieved, Mangal thanks him.
Before the competition begins, Adit insists on tending to Mangal’s wounds. Meanwhile, Sowmya fantasizes about enjoying the beach with Adit instead of staying with the older household members. She mocks her misfortune as Kusum and Shanti play cards nearby. Shanti wins the game, and Kusum receives a message that makes her ecstatic. She dances with joy and shows Shanti a picture of Adit hugging Mangal.
Shanti observes how peaceful and happy Adit looks in the photo, noting that he never even held Mangal’s hand before but now embraces her warmly. Shanti shares her happiness with Kusum. Sowmya, noticing the sudden excitement, becomes suspicious and checks a video, realizing the truth: everyone is trying to reunite Adit and Mangal. She grows furious, feeling betrayed by Adit and Eisha, who she believes is aiding the plan. She then receives a call from an unknown number.
The anchor announces the next phase of the competition: participants must prepare a main dish and a dessert. Christina, aiming for a challenging competition, declares she will cook an Indian dish and challenges Mangal to make a continental dish. Eisha translates the challenge, and Christina pressures Mangal to accept defeat. However, Mangal firmly states that she will not give up without putting in her best effort, earning applause as the competition begins.
Elsewhere, Karthik confronts Gayathri, demanding the truth. In her thoughts, Gayathri admits she orchestrated everything for him but fears his anger. She imagines Karthik cutting ties with her and Umesh scolding her. Snapping out of her thoughts, Gayathri stops Jia from revealing her secrets, pleading that Karthik would hate her if he knew. She promises Jia her full cooperation.
Later, Lakshmi unknowingly interrupts Gayathri and Jia. Jia hides but texts Gayathri to warn her. Karthik apologizes to Lakshmi for his mistakes, calling her his strength. Lakshmi assures him she will get him out on bail. Grateful, Karthik thanks Raghveer for helping save Lakshmi.
Gayathri lies to her family, claiming she is visiting a temple. Lakshmi offers to join her, but Gayathri declines. When alone with Jia, Gayathri admits she tried to harm Lakshmi for Jia’s sake, though she is not a professional killer. Jia, disgusted, lashes out and threatens to expose her. Gayathri falls at her feet, pleading for forgiveness, but accidentally falls off a cliff during their confrontation. Jia is horrified and rushes home to confess to her mother, explaining everything that happened.
That night, Nidhi notices Lakshmi walking alone, while Jia panics about the missing watch she dropped near the cliff. Her mother urges her to retrieve it immediately. At the site, Jia finds her watch but is startled to see Lakshmi there, leaving her in shock.
