The episode begins with Mangal removing her veil, trying to confirm if she truly sensed Adit nearby. She looks around but sees no one. Just then, Pratima and another woman approach her, praising Mangal’s graceful ghoomar dance. Pratima informs her that the priest has arrived, and they all head towards the pooja area. She also calls out for Kapil. Adit stays close to Kapil, hoping to speak with him after the prayer.
During the pooja, the pandit asks for a sacred chunri. As Pratima is about to offer it, Mangal recognizes it and tells her that she had once given that same chunri to an elderly lady who wanted it when Mangal couldn’t buy it. Pratima admits that the woman is her friend. Mangal says she would like to meet her, but Pratima responds that the lady is not here right now and urges her to give the chunri for the pooja. Mangal suggests they all offer it together to Maata Rani. Mangal, Adit, Kapil, and others hold the chunri together and present it. The priest places it on the goddess.
Mangal silently prays to the goddess, asking her to reunite her with Kusum and her children. Suddenly, someone switches on the fan and the chunri flies away. Adit quickly catches it before it falls and it lands on Mangal. Pratima tells her it’s a sign that she has received divine blessings, and this could mark the beginning of a new chapter in her life.
Later, Adit walks toward Kapil, hoping for a conversation. Meanwhile, Bhavya tells Mangal that her prayer will soon come true. She mentions that Mangal seems incomplete, as though something important is missing from her life, and prays that Maata Rani helps her find it. Mangal thanks her, and Bhavya shares that she often vents her emotions through her podcast and requests Mangal to keep it a secret. She promises to meet again and leaves.
Adit realizes this might be his last opportunity to talk to Kapil. But just as he approaches him, Kapil gets a call and walks away, leaving Adit disappointed. Adit sits near the goddess and prays for a new investor to support his business. Accidentally, some sindoor falls from his fingers. After praying, he leaves.
Mangal arrives soon after to seek blessings. As she bows her head, the sindoor touched by Adit falls onto her forehead, filling her maang unknowingly. Suddenly, Mangal gets a call from Kapil asking her to meet him immediately. She agrees.
Pratima curiously asks Kapil why he wants to talk to Mangal. Kapil announces that Mangal won’t be working at Pehli Swad anymore. Shocked, Pratima questions his decision. Mangal quickly clarifies that she doesn’t want to quit the brand but wants to relocate to Delhi. She begs him not to take Pehli Swad away from her.
Pratima scolds Kapil for his unclear message. Kapil then explains that Mangal isn’t quitting, but rather expanding the brand by opening a new branch in Delhi. Both Mangal and Pratima feel relieved and delighted. Kapil says that her prayers have been answered, which is why they are getting this opportunity. He adds that he will accompany Mangal to Delhi to set up the new branch.
Pratima says she will also join them and invites Mangal to stay at their farmhouse in Delhi. Mangal thanks them both for their support. Suddenly, Kapil clutches his stomach in pain. Both women ask what’s wrong. Kapil says it’s probably stomach flu and that he’ll take medicine. Mangal offers to send him some herbal kadha instead, saying it’s healthier than frequent medicine. Kapil refuses and walks away. Pratima asks Mangal to send the kadha and follows him.
Mangal becomes excited at the thought of going to Delhi. She thinks to herself, “Tomorrow is Akshat’s birthday—I can’t wait to see him.”
Later, Mangal returns home and knocks on the door, silently praying to Maata Rani to help her meet Akshat. In her imagination, Akshat opens the door and smiles at her. He asks why she took so long to come. As he grabs the balloons she brought, they burst, and she snaps out of the dream.
While heading to Delhi, Kapil stops the car near a school for a meeting. He asks Mangal and Pratima to go ahead to the farmhouse. He tells Mangal they are now close to Delhi. She smiles. Pratima suddenly remembers she forgot to take her blood pressure medicine. Mangal asks the driver to open the trunk so she can find it.
As she opens the trunk, she notices the name of a school and recalls that no one answered her call there the previous day. Curious, she calls the school again and asks if Akshat is a student there. The person on the call replies no. Mangal becomes worried and wonders how she will ever find her children.
