Today’s episode begins with Vikrant asking Yuvi to eat the prasad. Yuvi starts thinking that the prayer was actually meant for Vikrant’s favorite Baba and because of that blessing nothing bad will happen to him. He feels it was wrong that the prasad was given to him first.
Yuvi pretends to slip and deliberately drops the prasad. He quickly apologizes to Vikrant and acts as if it was an accident. The prasad falls on Vikrant’s clothes and spoils them. Instead of scolding Yuvi, Vikrant calmly decides to change his clothes. He tells Yuvi to leave for Mezbani with Mallika. Yuvi quietly smiles, happy that his plan worked, while Vikrant stays back to clean the floor.
Mannat notices Yuvi leaving with Mallika and feels that something is not right. She quickly goes inside the Saluja mansion because she wants to find Aishwarya’s sample. Mannat believes that today Aishwarya’s truth will finally come out.
At the same time, Yashika tells Yuvi to cook carefully and not rush. Yuvi casually asks for cake and a milkshake. Meanwhile, Aishwarya sees Dhairya helping Dua register for the competition. She tells Vishakha that Mannat is not with them, which means she must be planning something important.
Mannat tries to enter Aishwarya’s room but finds the door locked. This makes her even more suspicious. She becomes sure that Arzoo is actually Aishwarya. Mannat then decides to check Vishakha and Mallika’s rooms, but those rooms are also locked.
Vishakha confidently tells Aishwarya that Mannat can try whatever she wants, but she will not be able to enter any of the rooms because all three rooms were locked on purpose. Aishwarya feels relaxed and even praises Vishakha for doing something right. Mallika tells her mother not to worry.
Mannat realizes that if Arzoo was not Aishwarya, there would be no reason to lock all the rooms. Just then she hears Vikrant’s voice and becomes nervous, thinking he might see her there.
At Mezbani, all the children get ready for the competition. Dhairya and Bunty cheer for Dua, while Mallika, Yashika, and Vishakha support Yuvi.
Mallika announces the start of the Mezbani Dawat-e-Chef competition. The competition is specially organized for children, and the winner will get the title of India’s Best Junior Chef. The first round is the Barbecue Round.
Mallika explains the rules. All contestants must collect ingredients when the countdown starts and finish cooking within ten minutes. After the time is over, the dish must be placed back on the counter. The children quickly run to collect vegetables while their parents encourage them.
Mallika secretly calls Yuvi aside and reminds him of their plan. In a flashback, Yuvi asks why she gave him firecrackers. Mallika explains that he must secretly put them inside the grill where Dua will cook. She tells him to make sure no one sees him.
Yuvi becomes worried and says that if someone sees him, Vikrant will scold him. Mallika tells him not to worry. Even if Vikrant gets angry, the blame will fall on Dua. She tells Yuvi to act innocent and cry so that everyone believes him.
Mallika gives the firecrackers to Yuvi, and he secretly places them inside Dua’s grill.
Meanwhile, Mannat enters Vikrant’s room because she wants to leave before he comes. Suddenly she sees Vikrant coming toward the room and quickly hides. Vikrant enters the room and starts changing his clothes. When Mannat tries to leave quietly, Vikrant notices her.
Vikrant is surprised and asks why she is in his room. Mannat lies and says she came to find a charger. Vikrant questions why she chose his room in such a big house. Mannat says she thought the room was empty. Vikrant feels that she is hiding something.
Mannat says that after being betrayed in love, it is normal not to trust anyone. Vikrant silently agrees. When Mannat tries to leave, she suddenly twists her foot and almost falls. Vikrant quickly holds her hand and saves her. At that moment, Dhairya’s call appears on Mannat’s phone. Seeing Dhairya’s name, Vikrant lets go of her hand, and Mannat falls. She quickly leaves the room. Vikrant realizes that he still has feelings for Mannat.
Back at the competition, Yuvi struggles to cut vegetables while the other children continue cooking. Dua confidently places her dish on the grill. Dhairya receives a call from Mannat and starts talking to her.
Aishwarya watches everything and smiles, believing that Mallika’s plan will work and that Mannat and Dua will soon leave Mezbani forever.
Precap: Suddenly Dua’s grill explodes. Dhairya angrily asks who placed firecrackers in Dua’s grill. Mannat becomes furious and questions Vikrant, asking how he could risk children’s lives. She asks what would have happened if something had happened to their daughter. Vikrant stands shocked.
Our Take: This episode shows the growing tension between the characters. Mallika and Aishwarya’s dangerous plan puts Dua in serious trouble during the competition. At the same time, Mannat is trying to find the truth about Aishwarya. The emotional moment between Vikrant and Mannat also shows that their feelings for each other are still not over. The explosion in the precap promises more drama in the next episode.
