The episode begins late at night when Leela wakes up for water. She calls Pakhi to get it for her, but Pakhi remains fast asleep. Leela jokes that even an earthquake couldn’t wake her up. As she looks around, she notices Sarita’s father’s photo and jokingly asks why he’s staring at her. Suddenly, the garland from the photo falls, frightening her.
Nearby, Preet and Pari overhear Leela and decide to prank her. Despite Bharti’s warning, the girls go ahead. Leela screams in fear, and Anupama rushes in, catching them in the act. She scolds Preet and Pari for scaring an elderly woman, reminding them that older people can’t handle such shocks.
Preet quickly changes the topic and claims Girija is peeping through the window. Thinking it’s another prank, Anupama ignores her—until she spots Girija and runs after her.
Girija warns Anupama to leave before Prakash kills them all. She calls him a dangerous man. Moments later, Devika finds Anupama wandering outside and asks what happened. Anupama explains Girija’s warning. Devika then reveals shocking news—Sonu Rathod has been released from jail after his father bribed the police. Alarmed, Anupama calls out for Samar.
Elsewhere, Ansh questions Prem for making so many sweets. Prem says it’s for the festive season. Paritosh praises him for his cooking, and Prem mentions the sugar-free sweets made for Hasmuk. Paritosh later asks Ansh to talk to Parag for him, but Ansh remains silent.
Back in the village, Sarita accuses Anupama of interfering in local matters. Girija insists she’s telling the truth—Prakash exploits helpless women. Sarita defends him, calling Girija a liar. Leela suggests going to the police, but Girija reveals the inspector works for Prakash.
Ignoring everyone’s warnings, Anupama gives Girija shelter and swears to protect her. Leela, Meeta, and Pakhi urge her to stay out of trouble, but Anupama decides to confront Prakash herself.
Meanwhile, Anil introduces Ansh to some investors. When they learn Gautam has left the Kothari family, they back out, blaming Ansh for the setback. Vasundhara scolds him, but Parag assures more chances will come.
At the same time, Prarthana worries about Anupama visiting Prakash. Gulabo supports Anupama, saying she’s brave but will need help. When Anupama finally meets Prakash, his welcoming smile only fuels her anger.
