The episode begins with Aditya and Preet in a tense confrontation. Aditya tells Preet that if she ever hears him say he likes her, she should know he’s lying. He then insults her, comparing her to a lizard sticking to his hotel wall. Preet, not one to back down, calls him a scorpion. Aditya, irritated by her comebacks, questions her age, telling her she fights like a 5-year-old. Hurt, Preet storms away. Aditya calls after her, asking for her age, but then smiles to himself as she leaves.
Meanwhile, at the award function, Neeti is sitting at a table, engrossed in her phone. A woman in a beige saree, who we learn is also named Neeti, enters and looks around. The older woman in a pink saree, Sushma, calls out to her. In another part of the hotel, Preet asks a staff member where she can find Sushma Kashyap. A woman in a black dress, Nisha, overhears this and is visibly shocked. She wonders why Preet is meeting Sushma and decides she must stop her.
Sushma and Neeti have a tense conversation. Sushma tells Neeti she was worried she had left. She mentions she is receiving an award and wants Neeti to be there to clap for her. Neeti sharply tells her to keep dreaming, as she will be the one winning the award, and Sushma will be the one clapping. Sushma dismisses her words, and Neeti walks away, looking deeply troubled by the encounter.
Nisha puts her plan into motion. She pays a hotel staff member to misdirect Preet. The staff member approaches Preet and tells her that Sushma Kashyap is waiting for her in room 703. Though confused, Preet heads to the room. Nisha follows her, and as soon as Preet enters the room, Nisha locks the door from the outside, trapping her. Preet quickly realizes she’s locked in and begins to panic, trying the door and calling for help, but her phone has no network signal.
Elsewhere, Aditya is in the lobby when he receives a frantic call from Nisha. She tells him that her ex-friend, Vikrant, is at the hotel and she’s scared. Aditya, trying to calm her, says he’s sending security and assures her that Vikrant is right in front of him, so she is safe. As he instructs his manager to send security to the first floor, he hears faint cries for help.
Aditya follows the sound and finds the cries are coming from room 703. He realizes Preet is inside. He playfully teases her, asking her to say “please” and “sorry” before he opens the door. Preet reluctantly complies, and he lets her out. She angrily confronts him about the faulty door, but he retorts that her own strange attitude must have provoked someone to lock her in. This makes Preet suspect Nisha.
Aditya then confronts Vikrant, grabbing him and warning him to leave the hotel. He tells Vikrant that he doesn’t believe in the “guest is god” saying when the guest is in the wrong. He punches Vikrant, reminding him that he dealt with his character before and has now dealt with his tongue, threatening worse if he returns. A defeated Vikrant leaves.
Preet, now out of the room, confronts a cleaning lady, who points out Nisha. Preet marches up to Nisha and slaps her for her deceitful act. As Nisha raises her hand to slap the cleaning lady in retaliation, Preet grabs her arm. Just then, Neeti arrives and, seeing the scene, misunderstands the situation. She yells at Preet, “How dare you!” and slaps her hard across the face, leaving Preet and Nisha in shock.
