The episode opens with Parashar inquiring about the pooja plate that Nutan is supposed to prepare. Veer, seemingly unaware of the situation, informs Parashar that he assumed Nutan had decided against performing the pooja, which is why he did not arrange the necessary items. Parashar, sensing the importance of the ritual, urges Rani and Pool to persuade Nutan to participate. Despite their efforts, Nutan expresses her disinterest in attending the village fair, which is part of the pooja tradition. Undeterred, Parashar insists that Nutan should go and perform the pooja for the Moon at the river. He instructs Veer to prepare a pooja plate in his name, stating that while he will not attend, he wants Veer to conduct the pooja on his behalf.
Kanka, observing the exchange, questions Parashar’s motives for involving himself with Nutan, whom he refers to as his “fake wife.” Parashar coldly responds, indicating that Nutan is of no consequence to him, and therefore, Kanka should refrain from meddling in his personal affairs. Nutan, attempting to diffuse the tension, urges Parashar to remain calm. Parashar reiterates that Veer will deliver the pooja plate to Nutan, assuring her that she will find peace during the ritual. Rani, sensing an opportunity to encourage Nutan, suggests they should go together. After some hesitation, Nutan agrees to attend the pooja. Parashar then instructs his group to ensure the safety of the village women during the fair. Veer reassures him not to worry about their safety, to which Nutan adds that women are capable of protecting themselves, a statement that pleases Parashar. With that, Nutan departs with Rani and Pool, ready to embrace the day’s events.
Meanwhile, Menka’s bidaai ritual is underway, filled with emotions as family members gather to bid her farewell. Sandhya, a family elder, advises Menka to prioritize her in-laws’ happiness in her new life. Abhijeet, another family member, mentions that they will leave after attending the village fair, emphasizing the significance of the event. As the ritual progresses, Grandma offers her blessings to Menka’s husband, urging him to care for her well. Menka, overwhelmed with emotion, takes the time to hug each family member, cherishing her final moments with them before leaving with her husband. In a reflective moment, Ishani confides in Abhijeet that she has no intention of marrying, prompting him to remind her that solitude is not a sustainable choice. He encourages her to join them at the village fair, hoping to uplift her spirits.
In another part of the village, Lalon tends to Apu, checking her temperature and discovering she has a fever. Concerned for her health, he decides to call the doctor, but Apu insists that it’s unnecessary, claiming her fever is mild. At that moment, Kajol arrives with Jimli, and Lalon informs them about Apu’s condition. Apu, determined to downplay her illness, inquires about Jimli’s experience in her in-laws’ home, to which Jimli replies positively. Despite Apu’s protests, Lalon insists on contacting the doctor. Upon returning, he shares that the doctor suggested administering old medicine to Apu, to which she agrees, affirming that’s what she had also suggested. Apu then asks Kajol if she will accompany her to Jhanak, revealing a desire to see her.
Lalon surprises Apu by mentioning that he knows Jhanak’s whereabouts, which shocks her. He explains that Aniruddh recently met Jhanak, leading to a revelation about Moon. Apu, eager to learn more, inquires about Simulboni, while Anuradha asks if Apu doesn’t wish to meet Moon. Apu clarifies that her priority is meeting Jhanak first and asks about Jhanak’s marital status. Kajol informs her that Jhanak has married a local man, prompting Apu to express her urgency in meeting Moon. Suddenly, Apu faints, and Lalon swiftly carries her, worried for her well-being.
At the village fair, Ishani spots Jhanak and calls out to her excitedly. Jhanak’s face lights up with joy as she rushes to embrace Ishani, expressing her surprise and happiness at their unexpected meeting. They share a moment of nostalgia, with Ishani recounting her efforts to find Jhanak. Jhanak, equally thrilled, suggests they find a quieter place to catch up. Meanwhile, Jeet, lurking nearby, notices Ishani and plots to kidnap her as revenge for rejecting his proposal.
As Ishani and Jhanak prepare to leave, Kanak inquires about their destination. Jhanak introduces Ishani to Kanka, who insists Jhanak should stay for the pooja. Jhanak assures her that she will return shortly. Ambika, another familiar face, approaches and recognizes Jhanak, offering her blessings. Ishani informs Ambika of her plans to visit the lake with Jhanak before they depart together, unaware of Jeet’s lurking presence with his gang, who are intent on executing their plan.
During their walk, Ishani inquires about Jhanak’s wishes, and Jhanak contemplates her own desires, hoping for Aniruddh and Moon to remain united. Meanwhile, Dev, Jeet’s accomplice, urges him to act on their plan to kidnap Ishani. Jeet, however, advises patience, waiting for the right moment to strike. As Ishani and Jhanak reminisce about their past, Ishani learns that Jhanak’s fate has led her back to the village. Jhanak encourages Ishani to inquire about Nutan when they reach Simulboni. Ishani compliments Jhanak’s name, to which Jhanak replies that everyone in her village calls her Nutan. The conversation shifts to Ishani’s aspirations of becoming an IPS officer, and she shares a troubling incident involving Jeet. Jhanak observes that Ishani hasn’t changed much, while Ishani recalls hearing about Jhanak’s marriage, prompting Jhanak to reflect on the circumstances that halted her wedding.
As the episode draws to a close, Jhanak confides in Ambika about the impending threat of Ishani’s kidnapping, setting the stage for escalating tensions and dramatic revelations in the episodes to come.
