On July 31st, 2024, the tension between Lakshmi and the Oberoi family escalated significantly. The episode begins with Lakshmi and her daughter, Parvati, arriving at school. Parvati’s friend, Rohan, urges her to hurry as they are running late. Meanwhile, a school staff member informs Lakshmi that the principal wants to see her. Lakshmi agrees and heads to the principal’s office.
Rohan and Parvati overhear a conversation between Krish’s parents, who promise to play with him once he returns from school. Rohan mentions to Parvati that if Lakshmi and Rishi reconcile, they could all spend more time together. The two children then plot to patch things up between Lakshmi and Rishi, hoping it will allow them to stay together as a family.
In the principal’s office, Lakshmi is informed that her resignation has been accepted, and she is told to leave immediately. Shocked, Lakshmi tries to withdraw her resignation, pleading with the principal not to fire her. However, the principal insists, revealing that they know about her recent visit to the police station and the charges against her. The principal emphasizes that such a person cannot remain a teacher at the school, leaving Lakshmi dismayed.
Elsewhere, Ayush meets with Rishi and discloses that Neelam and Karishma are on their way to meet with Pradeep, the lawyer. Rishi, worried, asks Ayush to intervene, but Ayush reassures him that there’s no need. He suggests that there is a way for Lakshmi to willingly come back into their lives. Ayush reminds Rishi that Neelam will ensure Parvati stays with them, and Lakshmi will also find a way to be with her daughter. Rishi, considering Ayush’s words, realizes there might be a way to bring Lakshmi back.
Meanwhile, Neelam and Karishma are seen heading to meet the lawyer. Lakshmi confronts Neelam, accusing her of informing the principal about her police station visit. Neelam admits it, stating that with Rohan and Parvati studying at the school, she didn’t want any potential threats around them. An argument ensues between Lakshmi and Neelam, who eventually leaves to meet the lawyer.
At the lawyer’s office, Pradeep advises Neelam that presenting Lakshmi’s current situation to the judge will secure Parvati’s custody for the Oberoi family. He assures Neelam that the judge will be convinced once they hear about Lakshmi’s troubles.
On the other side, Lakshmi meets with her lawyer, Pratibha. Pratibha bluntly tells Lakshmi that Neelam has almost won the case and that their efforts might be futile. She explains that with a police case against Lakshmi for allegedly trying to kill her daughter and her current unemployment, it would be tough to win. The Oberoi family, being wealthy and influential, can offer Parvati a better life. Lakshmi, desperate, asks if there’s any way to retain custody of Parvati. Pratibha suggests they need to present a damaging fact from the Oberoi’s past to convince the judge that their home is not suitable for Parvati.
Rano, another character, advises Lakshmi to strengthen herself for the fight against the Oberoi family. She encourages Lakshmi to be resilient and prepare for the battle ahead.
Rishi, trying to contact Lakshmi, becomes frustrated when she doesn’t answer his calls. Determined, he resolves to bring Parvati into his house no matter what.
As the episode concludes, the stage is set for a fierce battle between Lakshmi and the Oberoi family over Parvati’s custody. The emotional and legal confrontations promise significant twists and turns, with Lakshmi preparing herself to take on the powerful Oberoi family despite the overwhelming odds against her.
