The Episode starts with Nutan asking Jhanak to take Rishi to the lodge and return quickly. On the way, Jhanak warns Rishi about the heavy rain turning the village into a river and says the locals believe the deity cries on the last day of the festival. Rishi tells her to go home, but she refuses to leave him in his condition.
Rishi takes Aditi’s call and says he’ll reach Kolkata tomorrow. She tells him she has college. When Rishi asks why she didn’t take leave, she wonders if he’s upset. He denies it, but Jhanak calls out his lie. Aditi hears Jhanak’s voice and questions him. Rishi dismisses her as a “village girl” and ends the call, claiming network issues.
At the lodge, Jhanak suggests Rishi should bring Aditi next time. She shares her number and worries about getting back home in the rain. Rishi urges her to stay; she’s concerned Nutan will panic. He insists the rain will stop soon, but Jhanak doesn’t believe it. She cries, saying she can’t spend the night with a stranger. Rishi promises to drop her home at dawn. She asks him to leave before sunrise. He invites her in to eat, but she refuses.
Back home, Bua questions Nutan about Jhanak. When she learns Jhanak is with Rishi, she accuses Nutan of plotting to trap him. Nutan defends her daughter, but Bua warns something could go wrong. She reminds Nutan that Anirudh betrayed her—how can she trust Rishi now?
Elsewhere, Anjana wants to gift her old wedding earrings to Aditi. Aditi happily agrees, saying Anjana means a lot to her.
Abhimanyu suggests talking to Niranjan to understand his actions. Tanushree only wants him to attend Rishi’s wedding. Dada walks off silently while Indumati breaks down, and Tanushree consoles her.
Meanwhile, Pihu tells Ishani to leave. Pralay insists Ishani should stay and care for her. Ishani pleads for a chance. Raj dismisses her drama, but Pralay asks her to cook. Pihu refuses home food, wanting hotel food instead. Raj goes for pooja. Later, Pralay tells Ishani that Jeet called. She confronts Jeet, who asks how she can remarry while still married. He wants revenge and offers fake friendship.
Back at the lodge, Jhanak tells Rishi to sleep inside while she stays out. He says it’s his duty to protect her and asks her to come in and rest.
Precap: Villagers knock on the door. Bua compares Jhanak to Nutan and scolds her for spending the night with Rishi.
