The episode opens with Karthik rushing to help an unconscious woman on the terrace — he doesn’t realize it’s Lakshmi. Swetha finds Lakshmi and takes her away.
The next morning Lakshmi asks Swetha how she was found. Swetha explains she had gone to the office after Lakshmi didn’t answer her calls and saw a man running to the terrace. Lakshmi asks to be told if Swetha sees him again so she can thank him.
Lakshmi reminds Swetha about the day’s event, but Swetha, afraid after Barkha locked her on the terrace, suggests quitting. Lakshmi refuses; they must attend or appear scared.
Meanwhile, the singer abandons Karan for a better offer. Furious, Karan slaps him; the singer warns him and leaves. Barkha suggests Karthik as a replacement and messages him to perform. Karthik worries about lacking lyrics but agrees.
Barkha prepares the show, bossing the models, while Lakshmi quietly encourages and steadies them. Karan frets that Lakshmi hasn’t given the lyrics to Karthik. Barkha takes credit for everything, hurting Swetha.
Karthik arrives but says he needs lyrics. Karan orders him to deliver, threatening his career. Lakshmi brings the singer’s jacket but Karan snatches it and accuses her of sabotage.
As the event starts, Vyom plots against Lakshmi: he scatters rice-light strings and pours water to electrocute her. Lakshmi trips and cries for help.
Karan hears her and rushes over. Vyom pushes Lakshmi and runs off. Seeing Karan, Lakshmi misreads the scene; Karan jeers and even threatens to throw her off the terrace, leaving Lakshmi shaken.
