The episode kicks off with high tension as Ronak’s aunt gets a panicked phone call from Tanya’s mother. She reveals a shocking piece of information: she overheard a conversation and learned that Shivansh and Prathna are together at the Zaveri house, trying to talk to an unconscious Smita. Ronak, on the other end of the line, is stunned. His plan to frame Shivansh seems to be going horribly wrong, as now his own mother and the woman he loves, Prathna, are caught in the crossfire.
The scene dramatically shifts to the burning Zaveri mansion. In a heroic move, Prathna manages to get an injured and unconscious Shivansh to a safer room. Worried for his safety, she wakes him, but he is disoriented and insists on going back into the blaze to save his mother, Smita. Seeing his determination and his injury, Prathna makes a difficult choice. She points him toward a window as an escape route, but as he hesitates, she locks him inside the room, sacrificing her own safety to go back for Smita. A frantic Shivansh is left trapped, desperately trying to break down the door.
Outside, the chaos escalates. Ronak, consumed by panic, tries to rush into the burning building. His fiancée, Payal, and friend, Mayank, try to stop him. As Mayank attempts to call the fire brigade, Payal shockingly stops him, arguing that Shivansh is inside and will surely save Prathna. This sparks a fiery argument between Payal and Ronak. Ronak, blinded by his hatred for Shivansh, blames him for the entire situation, while Payal staunchly defends Shivansh’s character. Unable to be stopped, a desperate Ronak runs into the inferno to find Prathna.
Meanwhile, Payal calls her mother, who is revealed to be the mastermind orchestrating events from afar. Instead of showing concern, she coldly advises Payal to also enter the fire—but only to a safe point—to appear heroic in front of Ronak and win his affection. She even assures Payal that bodyguards are nearby to ensure her safety, exposing her manipulative and dangerous game.
Inside, the situation is dire. Prathna finds Smita unconscious from smoke inhalation. As she struggles to help her, they are both overcome by the fumes and collapse. Just when all hope seems lost, Shivansh, having broken free, emerges from the smoke. He first rescues his mother, Smita, carrying her out to the car. But a flashback to his wedding vows reminds him of his promise to protect Prathna. Without a second thought, he braves the fire once more.
Ronak and Mayank, who are also inside, are stunned to witness Shivansh emerging from the flames, carrying an unconscious Prathna in his arms. He gently places her in the car alongside his mother and speeds away to the hospital, leaving a guilty and defeated Ronak in his wake.
