The episode begins with Mannat sensing something amiss, her worry fixated on Vikrant’s safety. She notices an issue with the crane and tries to alert Vikrant, but Mallika intervenes, instructing the staff to turn up the music. As the function gets underway, everyone starts dancing, and the loud music drowns out Mannat’s warnings. She spots a loose nut and bolt on the floor, her fears escalating that something catastrophic might happen to Vikrant. Despite shouting his name repeatedly, Vikrant can’t hear her over the music, heightening Mannat’s distress.
Meanwhile, Anirudh is hiding from Aishwarya outside the hospital, trying to avoid her. As Aishwarya frantically searches for him, Anirudh notices an ambulance pulling up. The driver rushes out, leaving the keys in the vehicle, and hurries inside, unaware of the drama unfolding nearby.
Seizing the moment, Anirudh decides to make a quick escape, driven by his determination to save his daughter Mannat’s life. He jumps into the ambulance, thinking to himself that as long as he’s alive, nothing will happen to Mannat, and warning Aishwarya of the consequences. Aishwarya spots him fleeing and becomes consumed by rage, determined to put an end to his life. She swiftly gets into her car and starts chasing after the ambulance, a high-stakes cat-and-mouse game unfolding on the road.
The scene cuts to Mannat frantically warning the crane operator to bring the crane down, sensing something is terribly wrong. The operator reassures her everything is fine, but when he tries to lower the crane, the connection fails, and he notices the wire has been severed. The crane man’s face falls as he realizes the gravity of the situation, stating that he can’t save Vikrant and that he’s doomed. Without hesitation, Mannat decides to take matters into her own hands and rescue Vikrant herself.
Mallika watches with sinister intent, thinking that no one will be able to save Vikrant today. Meanwhile, Mannat springs into action, determined to rescue him. She fearlessly climbs onto the crane, prompting Neetu to ask Roni what’s happening. The crowd around them continues to enjoy the festivities, oblivious to the danger unfolding above. Mannat shouts to Vikrant to stop, but he’s too caught up in the moment, determined to break the pot. Mallika’s eyes widen in fear as she sees Mannat on the crane, worried that her plan might be exposed. Meanwhile, Vikrant, unaware of the impending danger, boasts to Mannat that no one can defeat him today, as his parents cheer him on to break the Dahi-handi.
Vikrant triumphantly breaks the Dahi-handi, and the crowd erupts in joy, dancing and celebrating. But amidst the cheers, Mannat’s desperate voice cuts through, shouting Vikrant’s name. As Vikrant tries to step onto the crane, he loses his footing. Mannat rushes to his aid, and just as he’s about to fall, she grabs his hand, holding him steady. Vikrant looks at her with a mix of surprise and gratitude, and Mannat urges him to come back, her voice firm and urgent.
Vikrant scolds Mannat for risking her life to save him, but Mannat’s response is filled with emotion as she confesses that she can’t live without him. Shruthi’s voice rings out, calling for help as the situation grows more dire. Mallika watches with a calculating gaze, thinking she’s managed to kill two birds with one stone. Meanwhile, the crane driver warns everyone to stand back, fearing the crane could collapse at any moment. Roni urges the driver to bring Mannat and Vikrant down, but the driver explains that the break connection has failed. Vikrant tries to pry Mannat’s hand loose, but she refuses to let go. Neetu’s anger surfaces as she blames Mannat for the predicament, prompting Shruthi to defend her daughter-in-law. In a dramatic turn, Shruthi faints, overwhelmed by the situation and Neetu’s accusations. The scene erupts into chaos as everyone rushes to respond, while Mannat and Vikrant continue to struggle to stay safe.
Anirudh makes a dramatic entrance, taking in the precarious situation unfolding before him. His mind racing, he wonders how to save both Vikrant and Mannat. He notices the matrices and starts thinking of a plan. Meanwhile, Mannat uses her strength to push Vikrant upwards to safety. Unbeknownst to everyone, Aishwarya is hot on Anirudh’s heels, knife in hand, intent on killing him. However, the presence of staff members forces her to hold back. Anirudh quickly instructs the staff to arrange a safety bed on the floor, foiling Aishwarya’s plan once again. Aishwarya seethes with anger, vowing to get another chance to kill him, but for now, she alerts the police, determined to get Anirudh back behind bars. Mannat notices Anirudh’s heroic efforts to save them from afar and wonders how he’s there, despite his precarious situation.
Mallika’s frustration grows as she watches the rescue efforts unfold. Finally, Vikrant and Mannat jump to safety. Anirudh rushes to Mannat’s side, concern etched on his face as he asks if she’s alright. However, Vikrant misinterprets Anirudh’s intentions, thinking he meant to harm Mannat, and lashes out, beating him. Just as the situation spirals out of control, the police arrive to arrest Anirudh. In a fleeting moment, Anirudh warns Mannat that her life is in danger, before being dragged away.
