The episode begins with Dhairya scolding Mallika for locking the door and demanding she open it. When he breaks in, Mallika pretends to cry while Vishaka escapes through the backdoor disguised as a doctor. She crosses paths with Mannat, who fails to recognize her.
Meanwhile, Shruthi breaks down, and Vikrant assures her that he will manage all the rituals despite the servants being on leave. He arranges new help through an agency. At the post-mortem room, Mallika continues her act as Gagan consoles her and prepares for Aishwarya’s final rites. However, a sudden sneeze exposes that Aishwarya is alive, forcing Mallika to imitate the sneeze to cover for her mother.
Ravinder sends everyone out and helps Aishwarya, who wakes up and plans her next move. Gagan later brings Mannat and Mallika home, where a new servant arrives for selection. Mannat is asked to interview her.
Aishwarya enters disguised as a Muslim woman named Aasma. Though Mannat senses her voice is off, Aishwarya blames it on a cold and spins an emotional story about being a single mother. Mannat praises her and hires her, though Aishwarya accidentally blurts a devotional phrase, raising suspicion before quickly covering it up.
Mannat suddenly feels dizzy, and Vikrant takes her to rest. Dhairya and Vikrant tease her affectionately until Neetu intervenes. Meanwhile, Aishwarya and Mallika plot their next move—placing a pendrive in Vikrant’s room to expose his truth.
