The episode opens with **Armaan**, who is deeply emotional and burdened by a heavy secret he has been concealing from **Abhira**. He knows that **Maira**, also known as **Pookie**, is alive and with him, while Abhira believes that Armaan is mourning the loss of their child. This internal conflict weighs heavily on Armaan’s conscience, and he grapples with feelings of guilt. Determined to come clean, he resolves to confess everything to Abhira, regardless of the potential consequences.
Suddenly, Armaan receives a video call from **Dadu**, who shows him a troubling scene. The video reveals **Geetanjali** and Maira engaged in a heated argument with a woman and her child. Concerned, Armaan asks Dadu what transpired. Dadu explains that the woman’s vehicle accidentally brushed against Maira, leading to a confrontation where the child pushed Maira down. Dadu urges Armaan to step in and mediate the situation.
Armaan attempts to intervene by telling Maira to stop, but she refuses, upset that someone is arguing with her mother, Geetanjali. He then turns his attention to Geetanjali, trying to calm her down, but she insists that Maira is her responsibility in Armaan’s absence. Eventually, the woman and child apologize and leave, allowing Armaan to end the call.
Feeling conflicted, Armaan contemplates revealing the truth to Abhira but hesitates, particularly regarding Maira, who views Geetanjali as her mother. He decides against sharing the truth, believing that he has only brought pain into Abhira’s life.
As Armaan prepares to leave, Abhira asks him to stay until her mother’s surgery is completed. Armaan reflects on his past mistakes from seven years ago and admits that he cannot remain. Abhira, sensing something amiss, questions whether his urgency is related to another woman. Armaan reluctantly confirms that Maira is now part of his life. Abhira, masking her hurt, remarks that at least he thinks about Maira, and Armaan walks away.
Meanwhile, **Kajal** and **Manisha** send food for **Vidya**, prompting **Krish** to question their motives, reminding them of how Armaan treated him. **Kiara** enters and reveals that Armaan and Abhira are divorced, confirming this information as something Dadi shared with her.
Later, after Vidya’s surgery, Abhira and **Kaveri** bring her home. Unaware of the recent turmoil, Vidya excitedly asks for Armaan, thinking he has planned a surprise for her. Kaveri tries to redirect her attention by mentioning the food sent by Kajal and Manisha. Vidya expresses her fear that Armaan has left again. Just then, Armaan arrives with a gift of earbuds. Overjoyed, Vidya expresses relief that he hasn’t abandoned her. Abhira, touched by the moment, reflects on someone reminding her that she has already broken enough hearts and shouldn’t break any more.
Abhira receives a work call but declines to go to the office. However, Vidya, Kaveri, and Armaan encourage her to attend. She places her phone on the table and leaves the room.
Noticing her phone, Armaan calls out to Abhira, but she has already departed. At that moment, Geetanjali enters, shocking Armaan. He questions her presence and whether Maira was left alone. Geetanjali remains silent, prompting Armaan to apologize. Vidya, hearing a voice, asks who it is. Kaveri is surprised to see Geetanjali and watches as she takes Vidya’s blessings, introducing herself as Armaan’s fiancée. Kaveri comments sarcastically, hoping Armaan stays with Geetanjali forever and never returns. Geetanjali offers sweets she made for “Maa,” quickly correcting herself to “Aunty,” which Kaveri accepts.
Curious about Maira, Vidya asks where she is. Geetanjali explains that Maira is on a school trip and apologizes for her unannounced visit. Vidya curtly responds that Geetanjali should have considered that beforehand and asks how much sugar she wants in her tea. Meanwhile, Armaan notices that **Anshuman** is calling Abhira.
Anshuman visits Abhira and questions her lack of communication regarding Vidya’s surgery. He jokes about her being engrossed in legal documents before quickly apologizing and greeting her properly.
Back at home, Armaan confronts Geetanjali for sending Maira on a school trip without informing him. She reassures him that Dadu accompanied her and expresses concern for his mother, stating she came in case there were complications. Geetanjali realizes that Armaan hasn’t yet told anyone about her.
Vidya tells Kaveri to make it clear to Geetanjali that she will never accept her as her daughter-in-law. Kaveri responds that the blame lies with Armaan, not Geetanjali.
In another scene, Abhira questions Anshuman about his early return. He admits he missed her and didn’t want her to face Vidya’s surgery alone. She tries to steer the conversation back to work, but he insists on visiting Vidya. Abhira warns him that Armaan is also there and reflects on the complexity of her life. Nevertheless, Anshuman expresses his desire to be by her side.
Armaan apologizes to Geetanjali for his earlier reaction and thanks her for the sweets. She brushes off the formality and compliments the house, noticing a lawyer’s coat and wondering about the lawyer’s identity, knowing that the rest of the family runs a business.
Meanwhile, Abhira again presses Anshuman about his willingness to remain involved despite the complicated circumstances. He insists he wants to be close to her life to determine if he can adjust.
Kaveri scolds Armaan for bringing Geetanjali to the house without considering Abhira’s feelings. Armaan seeks her forgiveness, while Kaveri points out that he should think about Geetanjali and how she might react to seeing his first wife. Geetanjali overhears this, drops a glass, and stands there heartbroken.
In the final scene, Anshuman and Abhira ride a bicycle back to her home, hinting at the evolving dynamics between them.
