Niru tries to recount to Sagar the way Gangaa suffered due to him, when she was bringing up Krishna alone. Sagar is tensed to hear this.
Gangaa is frustrated at the Court notice, when Zoya comes and again tries to instigate her, but Gangaa is resilient that she won’t run away from situations and set a role model for her daughter. Resignedly, Zoya leaves frustrated, warning her that she shouldn’t be too revengeful that she herself burns in the fires of revenge. After she leaves, Gangaa is distressed thinking about it.
As she walks out frustrated, Zoya confronts Krishna. She calls Krishna and tries to emotionally manipulate her that they should go to avoid their troubles, but Krishna says that when they haven’t made any mistake, they shouldn’t run away with the problems. She says that she wishes that Gangaa stays here, and won’t let the troubles make her run away. As she goes in, Zoya is frustrated that like mother, like daughter! She decides to do something about it.
Krishna goes inside to find the Roti (An unleavened flatbread) burning, while she is totally lost. She hollers at Gangaa who gets unnerved and ends up burning her own hands. Krishna rushes to get antiseptic, while Gangaa thinks that there isn’t any third option. either she has to burn or else, get burnt. She is tensed.
Zoya meanwhile, finds Sonu on the road, and vents out her anger and frustration at him, about Gangaa and her adamant daughter Krishna, who are hell bent on ruining her entire life’s efforts! She says that Sagar desperately wants her to be in the house, while Gangaa doesn’t wish to budge. He tells her that their difference of opinion is her biggest strength, as people don’t understand anything in ego, which they can use to their advantage. She is boggled. He asks her to use their ego and suspicious doubts. She intently hears and understands what the matter is. She says that now she knows what she has to do.
The next morning, while the entire family watches, Amma ji bids off a traditional farewell to Sagar, who is going to fight the case for the custody of the daughter. She says that she wants him to get Krishna back ASAP. He says that he isn’t doing it for Gangaa’s spite, but to get his little daughter.
Meanwhile, Zoya tries yet again to instigate Gangaa in the lawyer dress, to use her trump card, but Gangaa refuses to lie while Zoya says that she’s doing this only for Krishna’s sake but Gangaa doesn’t feel like lying. Zoya asks her to use the trump card when everything fails. Gangaa is tensed.
In Court, Gangaa asks why does he want to be a part of their family now, as she doesn’t wish that and that he has no claim on her and her child at all. He asks her to try and understand and not deny that he isn’t the father. Gangaa refuses to accept Sagar as the father of Krishna while he says that one, on her wedding day, she had admitted the child is his, then why deny it now?
The Judge says that he understands their pain and the state in which she’s in right now, but truth be told, the child belongs to both the Parents and hence, Sagar does stand a chance if he’s the father. Madhvi and Amma ji are hopeful. He says that Sagar never claimed her till now but today, he wishes the need to express himself. The Judge asks for a paternity tests and asks Gangaa if Sagar is the biological father of the child? She asks what if her response is yes? The Judge says that his petition will be accepted and legal proceedings will happen. Gangaa recounts the entire torment that Sagar and his rash decision and his family had out him through, while Kashish and Zoya wait in anticipation for her answer. She eyes the amulet and then remembers Zoya’s advice. Gangaa thinks that there can’t be any better way to absolve her stain than to accept it now but at what cost, as that would mean losing her daughter forever and if she tries it, then she can have her daughter to herself along with the taint of the society. She’s taken aback, but then, she’s apalled when the Judge says that only she can confirm that. She lies through her teeth and denies Sagar to be the father. They are all shocked at this weird statement. Gangaa says that she knows many would be disappointed with her answer and once again, they will get the option to malign her character, but still her answer is the same, that she wasn’t with him that night and he isn’t the biological father.
He says that she is lying and asks how can she do this? She thinks that she can do anything, even maligining of the character, but she would stick to her decision to do anything to keep her daughter to herself. He goes berserk and says that he is sure that Krishna is his Child. Gangaa says that a mother can tell who the father of her child is, and that isn’t Sagar.
The Judge comments at the weird dilemma, and asks for proof. Gangaa says that she as a mother knows. Sagar says that she is wrong, while Gangaa is distraught. He says that times and world have changed, and says that he didn’t wish to do this, but she forced him to. He hands over some papers to the Judge, saying that proof isn’t needed, as it’s a matter of trust and accepts that he didn’t trust her and hence, she lied big time. He says that he doesn’t need to prove that Krishna is his daughter but since Gangaa has refused, hence he didn’t have any other option. He tells them that these are Krishna’s DNA reports. Gangaa is shocked, as the Judge goes through the papers. Krishna sits head hung low. He apologises to Gangaa, for not telling her anything. She eyes Krishna accusingly. He then clarifies that the reports clearly state that he is the biological father and hence has the right to demand for Krishna’s custody.
Kashish, Madhvi and Amma ji are happy, while Zoya is frustrated. Krishna is tensed as she eyes Gangaa, who is distraught. Krishna eyes both of them. The Judge says that this proves that Sagar’s claims are right and gives a date for the next hearing. The Court is adjourned till then. All disperse. Gangaa hastily wraps everything up and holds krishna by the hand and takes her away. They are all tensed.
Amma ji comes back with Madhvi and gets sweets and serves it to Niru saying that the Court accepted Sagar’s plea. She happily narrates everything, while Niru listens shocked and surprised. Juhi and Supriya hear on tensedly.
Gangaa reprimands Krishna for doing something like this, while Krishna keeps asking her not to get angry. Krishna tries to make her understand, but Gangaa reminds her that whatever she has been told to do, she always ended up going against it. She asks her how could she not for once think about Sagar’s reason for doing what he is doing, and how could she not consult or even tell her that she did something like this! Gangaa is totally frustrated. Krishna says that she accepted him and believed in him, just like she belives in her, and that isn’t wrong for a child to trust both her Parents. Gangaa asks her not to address him like that! Krishna retaliates that after such a difficult wait, she finally met her father and won’t stop addressing him by that too! Gangaa gets enraged.
They continue to argue, while ganga is forced to raise her hand, but Sagar comes and stops her midway. Gangaa is shocked. He asks how she could do this? She tells him that he may have gotten biological evidence by betrayal, but he wouldn’t be able to take her from her and she will fight till the end! Sagar tells Gangaa that even he doesn’t wish to have a Court case or scuffle, and just wants to be with each other for Krishna’s sake. Gangaa tells that his one mistake changed their lives altogether and now, he wishes to be with them? He says that then she doesn’t leave him any option to fight for Krishna.
As they continue to argue, krishna asks them to have respect and faith for each other at least, as she wishes to live with them together. She walks inside and shuts her room. They both eye each other tensedly. Sagar hastily leaves from there.
