The episode begins with Rishi firmly instructing Jhanak to pack her bags and return to her village. He informs her that she will receive payment for the work she has done thus far. Jhanak, taken aback, questions whether she has ever mentioned money to him before. Dadabhai chastises Jhanak for arguing after her wrongdoing, while Abhimanyu expresses concern, stating that Jhanak’s actions could have led to serious problems if anything had happened to her. In response, Jhanak murmurs that it would have been better if she had died. Rishi, frustrated, tells her to stop with the dramatics and to do whatever she wishes in her village. Jhanak challenges him, asking if he really wants her to die. Rishi clarifies that he never said anything like that, and eventually, Jhanak reluctantly agrees to go to her village.
Dadabhai suggests that since Jhanak has taken sleeping pills, she should rest. Rishi, with a hint of sarcasm, remarks that Jhanak seems to always be resting. Jhanak defends herself, insisting that she works before she eats or rests. Payal interjects, pointing out that as a maid, it is expected that Jhanak would do her work. Jhanak asserts to Rishi that she is indeed a maid but has never disrespected anyone. Dadabhai is confused by her statement, while Rishi tells him to ignore her. Jhanak insists that she tells stories, not lies.
Indumati questions why Jhanak is still arguing after her confrontation with Aniruddh. She expresses concern about the potential consequences, suggesting that Rishi and Aditi’s marriage could be at risk. Jhanak, however, confidently responds that there is no reason for concern since Rishi and Aditi truly love each other. Rishi, exasperated, tells her to stop talking nonsense and to pack her bags. Abhimanyu interjects, advocating for Jhanak, suggesting they forgive her this time since Aniruddh was not offended. Rishi opposes this idea, insisting that he will check if there are any buses available for her departure.
Jhanak confronts Rishi, pointing out that he has been waiting for an opportunity to throw her out of the house, and she refuses to be intimidated simply because he is a police officer. Tanushri tells Jhanak to be quiet, while Payal questions why Jhanak continues to argue. Jhanak explains that she thought Aniruddh was a thief, which is why she acted as she did. She states that she will leave the next day and heads inside. Indumati pleads with Rishi to allow Jhanak to stay until his marriage. Abhimanyu supports this, asserting that Jhanak is a good person who will learn from her mistakes. Dadabhai agrees, and Rishi storms off angrily.
Meanwhile, Arshi asks Aniruddh about the events that transpired at Rishi’s house. Aniruddh recounts everything that happened, and Arshi inquires how Jhanak ended up in Rishi’s household. Aditi explains that Rishi brought a maid from Simulboni. Aniruddh reminisces about his last interactions with Jhanak in Simulboni, noting that she appeared to be a typical village girl. Arshi grows concerned upon hearing this, but Aniruddh adds that Jhanak’s character was intriguing.
In the village, Parashar notices Nutan looking troubled and asks her what’s wrong. Nutan confides her worries about Jhanak, expressing her concern for her well-being. Parashar reassures her that he will take her to Kolkata. Nutan expresses her fear that Rishi may have accepted Jhanak as his wife, stating that Jhanak is naïve and may find it challenging to adapt to city life.
Putul hands her application form to her father, and Dadabhai asks Jhanak for the newspaper. When Jhanak reads the headline, everyone is shocked to learn that she can read English. Tanushri questions Jhanak about her education, and Jhanak proudly states that she was the top student in her school. Dadabhai then asks why she chose to work instead of continuing her studies.
Aniruddh attempts to call Anjana, but there is no response. Arshi advises him not to panic, suggesting that Anjana’s phone might be on silent. Aditi offers to try calling her as well. Arshi criticizes Anjana for being irresponsible, but Aniruddh tells her to stop with the negativity. Aditi urges everyone to remain calm, and soon Anjana and Bablu return.
Nutan asks Parashar if Rishi’s house is near Bhavanipur. Parashar questions why she still wants to be with Aniruddh after everything he has done. Nutan insists that he is mistaken. Parashar, somewhat sarcastically, admits he was blinded by love. Nutan pleads with him not to hurt her, stating that she cannot bear it. Parashar promises to keep his word and tells Nutan she can live with Aniruddh in Bhavanipur. Overwhelmed with emotion, Nutan cries, and Parashar urges her to erase his name from her life before leaving.
Rishi comes downstairs, and Dadabhai informs him that Jhanak can read English. Indumati inquires about Jhanak’s educational background, to which Jhanak replies that she was studying in the 12th grade. Dadabhai expresses his willingness to take responsibility for Jhanak’s education, which makes her very happy. He mentions that Mishti is also in the 12th grade. However, Rishi argues that there is no need for this, asserting that Jhanak came to the city to work, not to study, and that she can continue her education in her village. Jhanak, feeling passionate about her education, insists that she wants to study and fears becoming a burden if she does not continue her studies. Overcome with emotion, she begins to cry.
In the precap, Aniruddh invites Dadabhai to the Ashirwaad ceremony and asks him to bring Jhanak along.
