The episode opens with Jhanak questioning the girls about their educational qualifications. The girls giggle, claiming they studied all night. Jhanak, puzzled by their laughter, asks what’s so funny, and Maasi chimes in, suggesting that Jhanak could learn a thing or two from men, which prompts laughter from everyone.
Meanwhile, Laal approaches Tanuja, asking her to hear him out. Tanuja coldly rejects him and Bipasha. Laal insists they have come to apologize, expressing regret for their prior behavior. Bipasha adds that she couldn’t handle Lalon’s torment any longer, which led to her overreaction. She shares that Lalon never respected her and that she experiences panic attacks in his presence, and she sincerely apologizes to Tanuja. Laal reassures Tanuja that they won’t make the same mistakes again, to which Tanuja responds that it’s acceptable.
Bipasha suggests that Tanuja also apologize to Arshi. She warns that if Jhanak returns, it could spell disaster for everyone. Laal agrees, asserting that Lalon and Apu will only support Jhanak. Bipasha further insists they need to keep an eye on Aniruddh. Tanuja then shares that Shubhankar wishes to apologize to Jhanak. Laal offers to speak to Shubhankar about it. Bipasha expresses concern that if Jhanak returns, Arshi will have the hardest time of all, advocating again for stopping Lalon.
Back with Jhanak, Maasi provocatively tells her that she needs to please men. Anger flaring, Jhanak warns Maasi against speaking to her that way. Maasi instructs Jhanak to get ready, leading her to declare her intention to leave. The girls lock the door at Maasi’s suggestion, preventing Jhanak from escaping.
Elsewhere, Dr. Sen’s family visits the Bose household. They state their condition: Mimi must sever ties with her family after marriage. Mimi flatly refuses. Shubhankar takes responsibility, apologizing to Mimi for putting her in this situation. Arundati intervenes, suggesting that everyone makes mistakes, and Tanuja pleads with Dr. Sen’s family for understanding.
Dr. Sen’s father brings up their knowledge of Lalon and Srishti, to which Arshi objects, asking him not to bring her mother into the discussion. Bablu mentions that the verdict on Srishti’s case will be announced tomorrow, expressing confidence that everyone will accept the outcome. Dr. Sen urges his parents not to take away Mimi’s freedom, emphasizing that their son’s happiness is paramount. Dr. Sen’s mother then presents a gift to Mimi, who accepts it gratefully and seeks her blessings.
Later, the host invites Lalon and Apu to take the stage and shares their love story with the audience. Lalon praises Apu’s talent as a singer, and they perform together to applause. Lalon encourages Apu to sing solo, which she does, earning more claps from the crowd. When the host asks Apu to share a few words, she somberly reveals that she is very ill and feels she may not survive. She expresses concern for Lalon, pleading for their help as she knows they are doctors, and stressing her desire to live for her family. Dr. Sanjeeta steps forward, offering Apu free treatment, to which Lalon expresses his gratitude.
Back with the girls, they wonder why Jhanak is around, but Maasi deflects their questions and tells them to help Jhanak get ready. When Jhanak asks about Dadu, Maasi reveals chillingly that Dadu sold her to her. Jhanak is taken aback and pleads to be let go, tears streaming down her face, but Maasi bluntly states that Jhanak cannot leave the house.
The episode concludes with Jhanak in despair, saying she wants to die, while one of the girls steps up to help her escape.
**Precap:** Jhanak expresses her wish to die, and the girl takes action to assist her in fleeing.
