Adit confronts Sowmya, accusing her of deliberately trying to drive Kusum mentally unstable. Mangal supports Adit, condemning Kusum’s manipulative tactics and defending Sowmya. Fueled by rage, Adit orders Sowmya to leave the house immediately. Meanwhile, Kusum insists that Sowmya eat a laddoo, but Sowmya hesitates and accidentally drops it. Mangal, noticing her reluctance, forcefully feeds her the laddoo. As Sowmya struggles to resist, Akshat humorously boasts about his ability to eat multiple laddoos, but Mangal stops him just in time, allowing Sowmya to slip away.
Once alone in her room, Sowmya realizes the laddoo was tampered with and quickly forces herself to vomit, expelling the harmful substance. However, Mangal grows suspicious of her actions and questions whether she intentionally interfered with the laddoo. Sowmya firmly denies any wrongdoing, explaining that she follows a strict diet and simply avoided consuming too many sweets.
Later, Adit acknowledges Sowmya’s courage in handling the situation alone and notes Kusum’s apparent improvement. Sowmya attributes Kusum’s progress to proper medical treatment and firmly suggests that she should be admitted to the recently reopened mental asylum. Mangal strongly opposes the idea, but Adit, convinced of Sowmya’s reasoning, takes her side, determined to ensure Kusum receives the necessary care.
Meanwhile, Prema discovers Jia engaged in an intense ritual to banish Gayatri’s soul. She urges Jia to hurry, but Lakshmi arrives, pretending to be possessed.

Suddenly, Prema is abducted from behind as she attempts to stab Lakshmi. Jia, now consumed with fear, demands to know what Lakshmi wants. With a sinister expression, Lakshmi reveals that Prema is tightly bound, positioned beneath a sharp knife ready to drop at any moment. Desperate to save Prema, Jia agrees to confess, knowing she has no other choice.
