The episode begins with Raghav asking Aarti if she is fine. Aarti replies that she’s safe but reveals that Kali tried to kill her. She explains how Kali lured her to the market and sent goons to attack her. Aarti says she fought back bravely and proved she can never be defeated.
Raghav gets emotional and asks her not to step out again. He says she is his son’s last hope and promises to bring Kali to justice in court. He tells his son to file an attempted-murder case and vows to ensure Kali gets punished.
Meanwhile, Pankaj introduces Ravi to Anjali, revealing that he was the truck driver responsible for the accident that killed Aman 21 years ago. Anjali asks if Ravi was injured in the blast, but Pankaj explains he escaped unharmed and later pretended to be deaf and mute.
Anjali decides to test Ravi’s act. She borrows Pankaj’s revolver, points it at herself, and threatens to shoot. When Ravi reacts in fear, she proves he’s faking his condition. Pankaj praises Anjali’s cleverness.
Anjali interrogates Ravi about who hired him. Ravi confesses he was paid ₹1 lakh to cause the accident but claims he doesn’t know the mastermind. However, he agrees to identify the person if he sees them. Anjali decides to take him to Aarti’s engagement for identification.
Soon after, Pankaj receives news that Aarti has filed a police complaint accusing Kali of the attack. Anjali confronts Kali at home, who denies everything and claims she was praying at the temple. Padma exposes her lie, saying Kali wasn’t home at that time.
Anjali demands an explanation, but Kali lashes out at Aarti and Charita. Anjali silences her and warns her to tell the truth. Kali insists that Aarti and Raghav are conspiring against her. Padma suggests calling Aarti, but Anjali refuses, saying the truth will come out on Diwali night.
Later, Ved calls Anjali, furious that she’s defending Kali after Aarti was attacked. He pleads with her to believe Aarti and stop supporting the wrong side. Anjali, however, says she’s devoted to justice and vows that the engagement will expose the real culprit.
After the call, Ved tells Aarti that his mother won’t back down. He assures her he’ll protect her no matter what. They share a heartfelt moment, embracing each other and confessing their love.
