he episode opens with the Chauhan family in a tense business meeting. Dev and his team discuss a concerning drop in sales for their brand “Satva.” They speculate that the new brand ambassador, Megha, is not resonating with the public. However, the family matriarch, Masa, quickly shuts down the discussion, reminding everyone that Megha is not just a brand ambassador but also Dev’s fiancée. She declares that their relationship is far more important than any business loss, and the family must support her. This sentiment is echoed by another family member who advises Dev that a husband’s success lies in standing by his wife.
Meanwhile, Avi is troubled and leaves the meeting to handle a personal crisis. He meets a distressed woman, Aditi, who is being blackmailed with some photos. Avi brings a bag containing 5 lakh rupees, intending to pay off the blackmailer. However, Aditi reveals a new message from the blackmailer, demanding she come alone to a secluded location. The blackmailer, in a menacing voice note, warns that he is watching their every move. Despite Avi’s concerns for her safety, Aditi insists on going alone to protect Avi and his new marriage from scandal. She takes the money and leaves, leaving Avi fraught with worry.
Back at the Chauhan residence, the household staff, Vasudha and Savitri, are conversing. Savitri tries to console a visibly upset Vasudha, attributing her distress to a minor incident during the morning prayers. However, Vasudha’s worries run deeper. She confides in Savitri that Megha is a “sweet knife” (मीठी छुरी), and her kindness is merely a facade. Before she can elaborate, Karishma (the woman in the pink saree) interrupts. Later, Karishma spots Avi returning and playfully taunts him about his past playboy behavior, which angers him. He sternly tells her to mind her own business, declaring that his life now revolves around his wife, Divya.
In a shocking turn of events, it is revealed that Aditi is in collusion with the blackmailer, a man named Bhavar Singh. When Aditi hands him the money, he scoffs at the amount, calling it a mere “trailer.” His true intention is to use this situation to test the Chauhan family’s weaknesses, and he has identified Avi’s brother as a soft target. He returns the money to Aditi, solidifying their conspiracy.
The family then reviews new packaging designs for “Satva.” Masa expresses her dislike for the new concepts, stating they lack the charm of the old designs created for the previous brand ambassador, Vasudha. When the designer explains that the old designs were tailored to Vasudha’s simple and innocent image, Masa misinterprets this as an insult to Megha and dismisses him. Overhearing this, Vasudha is triggered into a flashback. It is revealed that Megha was the mastermind behind a violent attack on Vasudha and her father. In the flashback, Megha threatens Vasudha, calling herself the “death warrant” for the Chauhan family and warning her to stay away.
The episode culminates in a series of confrontations. Divya attempts to console Vasudha, unknowingly adding to her pain by praising Megha’s character and suggesting Vasudha maintain distance from Dev to keep peace in the family. Later, a drunk and agitated Avi confronts his brother, Dev, accusing him of making a terrible mistake by getting engaged to Megha. Dev, unaware of the full picture and frustrated by Avi’s behavior, aggressively dismisses his concerns, leading to a physical altercation between the brothers.
