Ragini and Neil break their staring and Ragini slowly regains her composure and nods to Pragya, signaling to go ahead with the meeting...The meeting goes on professionally, as all four of them are very professional and great business men and women...Although you can see a sadness in Ranbir Khanna's eyes...After the meeting ends, Pragya and Ragini get up to show them the way but Neil stops and congratulates them for signing the deal and he also wishes them the very best in life...Ragini scoffs at this, but this doesn't go unnoticed by anyone...Neil then says' The same old Ragini, never thinks anyone can wish the best for me'...Pragya interrupts their banter by saying 'Do you two know each other?'...'They used to be married!' says Ranbir...'Oh toh tum Nachiket ho' says Pragya...He nods...He and his son are about to leave when something strikes him...He turns around and tells Ragini, 'Would you like to celebrate our partnership? With a lunch at my in laws house? Where by the way me and my 3 children are living'...Ragini is shocked at they at living at her parents but grows annoyed when he mentions the three children because only two of them are hers...She turns to Pragya who looks at her and she signals a no, but just then Pragya says yes sure she would love to join you guys as she knows how much Ragini misses her family and has no idea of their wellbeing...Neil and his son leave and Pragya smiles at Ragini...Ragini smirks and then tells Pragya that she would also have to accompany her now that she has forced her to go...Pragya sighs and then tells her she had to lunch with her firstborn...Ragini tells her to invite Kiara too and Pragya messages Kiara to meet her down in 5 mins instead...By the time they reach there, they already find Kiara ready sitting in a Rolls Royce ready to drive...

Meanwhile, Neil calls Dida and asks her to prepare Pani Puris as his business client will be coming today and they are her favourite...He feels happy that he is planning their reunion but is met with the angry of eyes of his son...Neil warns Ranbir 'Please talk with respect, at the end of the day she is your mother'...He scoffs too and walks away...Neil can't help but notice Ranbir and Ragini's similarities and is really happy to see her this successful...Meanwhile, Dida informs everyone about the same and everyone expect Abhi, Aliya, Dadi, Mitali, Raj promise to be there...Rhea asks Dida if she can invite her Nani and she happily agrees saying more the merrier...Rhea calls Sarla and asks her to be there by 1pm

All preparations are being made for the guests, but unknown to everyone both these ladies are very much coming to their homes after many many years...Everyone is sitting on the dining table waiting for the guests to arrive...Agham and Suhani are in their room and Ranbir Khanna is keeping them busy as his dad has instructed him not to let Suhani meet Ragini at cost...The three ladies park their car and Pragya feels like this place is oddly familiar but is too busy chatting with Kiara to notice...Kiara presses Ragini's hand and tells her to face their fears...They all three decide to cough three times if any of them feel like leaving...Kiara rings the bell and the door opens with Dida and Neil opening the door...Dida is shocked to see her daughter, Prachi's mother and the girl who created a havoc yesterday...While Neil is only shocked to see Kiara...Kiara is shocked to see Neil, Pragya is shocked to see Dida and recounts what all they had said to Prachi...

'Neil' 'Ragini' 'Dida' 'Kiara' different people say at the same time and everyone looks towards each other in confusion...Before anyone can say anything Kiara moves towards Neil and says won't you give you favorite a hug? She moves towards Neil and he opens up his arms for her...As they hug he whispers into her ears' I still remember what you pulled yesterday! Care to explain?'...'The truth will be out soon' smirks Kiara...Pragya and Ragini are shocked at their interaction and Kiara introduces Pragya to Dida and Neil as her mother...Pragya and Ragini nod and wonder what else they will have to face after this encounter...As Dida tries to get closer to Ragini, she simply joins her hands in a Namaste and fakes a smile....As they were taking too long, Ranbeer Kohli comes out to see what's wrong and only recognizes Prachi's mother and the other girl who reminds him of Rhea...'Aunty Aap' he says and Pragya nods...'Prachi kaha hai?' Before Pragya can reply Dida says 'Sorry Puttar, Please forgive us for our behaviour towards Prachi'...Pragya nods and that's when Kiara says ' Masi aur Mumma will we stand here only and finish all the talk?'

Ranbeer assumes that Ragini is Kiara's mom and then leads them inside...While Vikram gets teary eyed seeing his sister, he is shocked to see Prachi's mother and looks down in guilt as he has wronged both the ladies...Ragini gets a little emotional but then decides to control while everyone else is shocked to see her behaviour... Ragini walks towards Vikram and puts her hand forward to shake it and they moment he connects a sense of warmth fills both the siblings up...Pallavi, Ranbeer and Kiara are confused and Pragya tells Kiara in her ears that this is Ragini's family...Ragini introduces herself to Pallavi as Ragini and then instantly everyone knows who she is and the atmosphere of the room completely changes...

Kiara then breaks the silence by saying, 'Waise how do guys know Prachi?'...Everyone looks very shocked and says that she used to work in their office and was Ranbeer's friend...Kiara thinks of something and then says 'Mumma ki itni badi company thi then what was the need of doing a job in such a small company'...'Kiara' says Pragya glaring at how outspoken her daughter was while everyone else in the room could only notice her resemblance with Rhea...'Ranbeer then asks Kiara whether she and Prachi are real sisters and Kiara nods'...Pallavi, Vikram and Dida wonder how two children of the same mother can be so different. Something spills on her and she gets up to clean it

A girl walks down the steps and runs towards the table as she realizes that Prachi's mother is there too...she walks towards the table without anyone realizing and covers Pragya's eyes with her hands...Pragya instantly realizes that's its Rhea...Just as she she about to remove Rhea's hands, she hears a scream 'Leave my mother'...Rhea removes her hands with a jerk and is very shocked at Kiara's reaction...'Your mother? She is not your mother! She is Prachi's mother'....'Prachi is my sister', yells Kiara...Rhea looks shocked and taken aback, however she quickly gains her courage and says sarcastically, 'Wow aunty, it's so ironic that I love you so much but hate both your daughters to the core'...'Likewise' says Kiara....'Do you know Aunty, Because of her my dad cannot remarry anymore!'...Anyways Aunty can you please come in the room I have to show you something...
