The episode opens with a tense atmosphere in a hospital room, where a doctor and a nurse are questioning a young woman named Jhanak about her personal details, specifically her name and address. Jhanak, appearing disoriented and anxious, reveals that she was abducted by a goon. However, she struggles to recall any additional information about her situation. The doctor presses her to provide her address, and Jhanak responds that she is originally from Kolkata. The doctor comments on her manner of speaking, suggesting that she sounds like a village girl. When asked about her father, Jhanak hesitantly states that he lives in Kolkata but admits she does not know his name because he did not accept her. This revelation leaves the doctor perplexed and frustrated, as she feels Jhanak is not fully grasping the gravity of her situation.
Meanwhile, the doctor approaches Rishi, who is waiting outside the examination room. She informs him that Jhanak will need to undergo further tests to assess her condition. Rishi, eager to assist, encourages the doctor to proceed with whatever is necessary. As they talk, the doctor inquires about Rishi’s relationship with Jhanak. Rishi explains that Jhanak is a relative of his. The doctor then shares Jhanak’s claim of abduction, to which Rishi reacts defensively, questioning whether he appears to be a goon. He shows her his police identification card, emphasizing that he is a police officer, not a criminal, and dismisses Jhanak’s statements as nonsense. The doctor advises Rishi to wait for the test results and leaves him to ponder the situation.
Back in the examination room, the nurse explains to Jhanak what the tests will involve. Jhanak, feeling uneasy, inquires about Rishi’s whereabouts. The nurse suggests that if Rishi is not present, they might need to file a complaint against him, which prompts Jhanak to confess that she had lied. Curious about Rishi’s role in her life, the nurse asks how Jhanak knows him. Jhanak explains that she is supposed to work in Rishi’s house. The nurse, noticing Jhanak’s chatter, remarks that it seems she is doing well, implying that her condition must be stable. However, Jhanak insists that she doesn’t need any tests, but the nurse is firm and leads her to another room for the necessary procedures.
Upon entering the new room, Jhanak admires its beauty, a stark contrast to her earlier distress. Rishi arrives shortly after, and the nurse steps out to give them privacy. Rishi checks on Jhanak’s well-being, but she playfully questions whether he is unhappy to see her in good spirits. However, Rishi quickly shifts to a serious tone, scolding her for spreading rumors about him being a goon. He demands to know why she would say such things, expressing his frustration about the trouble she has caused him. Jhanak, feeling intimidated by Rishi’s anger, pleads with him not to scold her and promises to keep quiet in the future. She reveals her fear of the tests and asks Rishi to take her away, insisting that she does not want to undergo any medical procedures. Rishi, however, remains resolute, advising her to comply with the doctor’s orders for her own safety.
Meanwhile, Dhamu, Veer, and Mangal are gathered, discussing their concerns about Jhanak. Dhamu realizes he forgot to take Rishi’s phone number, which leaves the group in a state of worry about how to communicate with him. Veer expresses his anxiety about what they will tell Parashar, especially regarding Jhanak’s safety. Kanka questions whether Nutan will be cooking that day, but Sakhi urges Kanka to leave the conversation. Dhamu, Mangal, and Veer then return, and Nutan anxiously inquires if Jhanak reached Rishi’s house safely. Mangal’s response—that Dhamu forgot to obtain Rishi’s phone number—shocks Nutan. Sakhi, confused, asks for clarification.
Nutan, overwhelmed with fear, laments that everything is over and expresses her deep sorrow at the thought of never seeing Jhanak again. Rani tries to comfort her, urging her not to speak so negatively, but Kanka ominously suggests that it is possible Nutan may never see Jhanak alive again. The dimming of a lamp in the room heightens their sense of dread, with Kanka calling Jhanak a curse upon their village. Nutan, angered, warns Kanka to be quiet, while Rani insists they must inform Parashar about the situation. Nutan continues to fret over Jhanak, reminding them that Rishi is a police officer and lives in Kolkata. Dhamu decides to team up with Mangal and Veer to track down Rishi’s address, while Sakhi and Rani attempt to console Nutan.
In a different scene, Aditi calls Rishi, frustrated that he has not answered her previous calls. Rishi explains that he is on his way and that he experienced poor signal reception in Simulbuni. Aditi inquires about his current location, and Rishi reflects on their marriage, assuring her not to worry as he will reach her soon. Aditi expresses her feelings of a growing rift between them, but Rishi reassures her that their love is strong and unbreakable. He affirms his love for her, and Aditi reciprocates, declaring her affection.
Meanwhile, Pralay speaks with Jeet, who reveals that he did not know Pihu had been taken to the farmhouse. Jeet fabricates a story, claiming that he told Pihu about the farmhouse, and she insisted on visiting. He adds that Ishani’s unexpected arrival caused a scene. Pralay mentions that his children have yet to accept Ishani, and Jeet lies again, stating that he and Ishani are in love and intended to marry at the temple, but her family intervened. Pralay, feeling betrayed, decides that Ishani cannot remain in his house and resolves to confront her. Jeet hands Pralay a file containing details about the past, expressing sympathy for Pralay’s heartbreak.
In the precap, Rishi tells Jhanak that it’s fortunate she has removed the vermilion from her forehead. He warns her never to mention their film marriage again. As the episode concludes, Rishi takes Jhanak to his home, introducing her to his family as their new servant, marking a significant turn in her life.
