The episode opens with Jhanak expressing her deep feelings for Rishi, stating that he is the one she loves the most in the world. Despite their marriage ending in separation, her love for him remains unwavering, and she even declares that she would be willing to die for him. This revelation leaves Mishti and Aayush in shock. Aayush, concerned about Jhanak’s state, questions her actions, while Mishti points out that Jhanak is intoxicated. Aayush insists that Jhanak should return to the hostel, but she insists on staying with her friends. He then turns to Mishti, questioning why she allowed Jhanak to drink.
Mishti defends her decision, stating that Jhanak is not a child, and therefore, she did not feel the need to intervene. Aayush suggests that Jhanak should rest in the medical room, to which Jhanak admits she is feeling dizzy but claims she only drank juice. She then breaks down in tears, revealing that she misses her mother. Aayush offers his support, helping her to walk. Jhanak requests that he call Rishi, and Aayush takes her away. Meanwhile, Priyanshi observes Aayush’s support for Jhanak and suggests that they should take action regarding the situation.
Aayush brings Jhanak to the medical room, but Mishti and her friends lock the door from the outside. Aayush knocks and asks who locked the door, while Mishti plays the song “Hum Tum Ek Kamre Mein Band Ho” from her phone, leaving with her friends. Aayush is left bewildered, questioning the nature of this prank.
In another scene, Aditi brings up how Sanjhbati praised Jhanak, and Neelu suggests they should have revealed Jhanak’s true nature to Sanjhbati. Aditi mentions that Rishi is always looking for opportunities to be with Jhanak, indicating that he is definitely interested in her. Tanushri expresses her frustration with the ongoing issues they face due to Jhanak and wonders when they will finally be free from her influence. She questions Rishi’s motives.
Rishi arrives, and Tanushri scolds him for being late. Aditi confronts Rishi about Jhanak’s presence with him, to which Rishi responds defensively, questioning what the issue is. He explains that Jhanak was free, and since Sanjhbati wanted to meet her, he took her along. Rishi asserts that he never promised to ignore Jhanak.
Aditi presses him, asking why he is blending his past with his present, seeking clarity on whom Rishi truly wants to be with. Rishi maintains that he did nothing wrong by allowing Sanjhbati to meet Jhanak and asserts that he is not obligated to explain himself to Aditi.
The following day, Priyanshi informs Mishti that Jhanak and Aayush are still locked in the medical room. Mishti tells her family that she needs to go to college, prompting Tanushri to remind her that she only returned home early that morning. Mishti explains that Jhanak got drunk the previous night, which led Aayush to take her to the medical room to assist her. However, they have yet to come out. Rishi questions Mishti’s certainty, and she confirms it. Indumati expresses concern that Jhanak’s actions could tarnish their family’s reputation.
Mishti reveals that in her drunken state, Jhanak mentioned Rishi’s name, which shocks everyone. She explains that Aayush and Jhanak are refusing to open the door, and she criticizes Jhanak for drinking if she couldn’t handle it. She insists that no one should know that Jhanak was talking about her brother. Putul argues that it is Jhanak’s choice to drink, while Mishti expresses her disappointment over Jhanak’s confession of love.
Aditi warns Rishi that his reputation may suffer as a result of Jhanak’s actions. Rishi insists that no one knows him at college and that he cannot be held responsible for Jhanak’s drunken statements. Aditi reminds him that he dropped Jhanak off at college, implying that many students may have witnessed this. Rishi contemplates how Jhanak could express her feelings for someone else when he had just confessed his love to her the day before. He decides he needs to talk to Jhanak. Mishti urges him to help Jhanak understand the situation, expressing concern that the principal will not overlook Jhanak’s behavior, especially if everyone learns about her past marriage to Rishi.
At college, Priyanshi and her friends approach the principal, showing her a video of Jhanak and Aayush together in the locked room, which raises further complications.
In the preview for the next episode, Rishi mistakenly misunderstands Jhanak upon seeing photos of her with Aayush, setting the stage for more drama to unfold.
