Jeet is worried because Heer hasn’t returned yet. He thinks Heer might be upset with him and hopes she comes back soon. Meanwhile, Heer is searching for her father and finds her brother’s bike parked outside an alcohol shop. She confronts her brother, telling him that their sister-in-law has been trying to call him and asks if he knows what’s happened. He confesses that he got a call from the kidnappers, admitting it’s all his fault. He explains that he took a loan from some bad people to start a business and used their father’s name as a guarantor. However, he ended up losing all the money in gambling with his friends, and now those people are threatening him.
Heer throws glass from his hand, scolds him for his mistakes and offers to go with him to talk to those people. Meanwhile, a guy calls Rajwinder, informing her that everything is going according to plan and that Heer will go to meet the thugs. Rajwinder sees this as an opportunity for her plan.
Teji praises Jeet for teaching the kids and says they enjoy and learn with him. She mentions that Jeet will make a good father and husband, and that his future wife will be lucky. Rajwinder suggests that Teji could be that lucky girl, as she wants the kids to have a father like Jeet. Teji is surprised by this suggestion, but Rajwinder insists that Jeet might have come into their lives to fill the void in Teji’s life after Jarnail’s death.
Heer expresses her fear, realizing she’s scared for the first time because Jeet isn’t with her. Rajwinder tells Teji that she wishes for Jeet to marry her and become a father figure for the kids. Teji hesitates, knowing that Jeet loves Heer. Rajwinder acknowledges this but insists that Heer only sees Jeet as a friend. She urges Teji to gather courage and talk to Jeet, emphasizing that Sunny and Simrit won’t find a father like Jeet and that Teji needs to think about their future.
Heer arrives at the thugs’ location, and one of them threatens her with a knife. She demands the release of her father, warning them that she’ll report them to the police. The goons demand money, saying they’ll only let her father go if she returns their money.
Meanwhile, Teji reflects on Rajwinder’s words and watches the kids happily listening to Jeet’s story. She decides that Rajwinder may be right and resolves to talk to Jeet about their marriage. The goon gives Heer a deadline to bring them 10 lakh rupees within the next ten hours.
Gurmeet returns home drunk, and his wife scolds him for his father being missing. Heer arrives home and reassures them that she found her father safe in the market, but his phone probably ran out of battery. Gurmeet questions why Heer lied. She explains that she didn’t want to stress her sister-in-law further and promises to bring her father home. Meanwhile, at the Atwal house, Jeet worries about Heer’s delay in returning. He finds Heer walking with a sprained leg, thinking about how to arrange money to free her father.
Jeet approaches her, helps with her sprain, and offers to give her a ride on his bike. As they ride, a song plays in the background. Jeet asks Heer if everything’s okay at home since she wasn’t answering calls. She assures him everything is fine but frets about sharing her financial struggles. Heer tries to arrange a loan but is told it will take time. She considers selling her jewelry and begins packing them when Jeet enters. He senses something is amiss and apologizes if he upset her earlier. Heer denies being upset and appreciates his support.
Rajwinder asks Jeet to attend an event on her behalf, believing Heer’s hidden emotions for Jeet are surfacing and their friendship is evolving into love. Meanwhile, Teji contemplates Rajwinder’s suggestion about marrying Jeet. Rajwinder urges Teji to talk to Jeet, insisting it’s best for the kids. Teji agrees to discuss it with Jeet. Heer arranges money for her father’s release by selling her jewelry. Rajwinder observes Heer’s actions and predicts it will keep her occupied, away from Jeet.
Meanwhile, Jeet and Teji plan to buy a gift, deciding on a gold coin from a jewelry shop, unaware that Heer is selling her jewelry at the same store.
