The episode opens with Pankaj calling Anjali to check in, asking if he’s interrupting her. Anjali reassures him that he isn’t and asks why he would think that. Pankaj mentions he’s heard she’s celebrating Makar Sankranti with the Rajput family and jokingly questions if she has forgotten her way to the court. Anjali replies that she hasn’t forgotten anything and asks what prompted his call.
Pankaj informs Anjali that Prakash is hosting a birthday celebration for his girlfriend, Deepika, at a poolside restaurant. He also notes that Deepika is implicated in Shivani Tripathi’s murder and reminds Anjali that Prakash didn’t even claim Shivani’s body after her passing, leaving Brijesh to handle her last rites. Pankaj emphasizes that Anjali is the only person who can advocate for victims like Shivani and Padma, to which Anjali agrees and reflects on the situation.
At the poolside restaurant, Prakash is celebrating Deepika’s birthday when Anjali storms in, interrupting the festivities. She immediately confronts him, accusing him of celebrating his girlfriend’s birthday while he’s responsible for his wife’s death. Deepika, confused, asks Anjali who she is. Anjali replies that while Deepika may not recognize her, Prakash definitely should. She then calls for Brijesh, who arrives carrying Shivani’s ashes.
Anjali addresses everyone present, revealing that Prakash didn’t even bother to claim Shivani’s body after the post-mortem. She highlights that it was Brijesh who took responsibility for Shivani’s body and performed her last rites. Anjali directly accuses Prakash of being a murderer, prompting him to defend himself. He retorts that she cannot label him a murderer until it has been proven in court. Anjali boldly counters that she plans to expose him and asserts that she possesses evidence against him.
As Prakash becomes increasingly defensive, he questions Anjali’s motives. Anjali firmly silences him, stating that while Shivani was in her final moments, crying for help, he was busy romancing Deepika at a nearby hotel. She claims to have proof of the hotel booking and further mocks him. Before leaving, Anjali instructs Brijesh to slap Prakash, which he reluctantly does. Enraged, Prakash attempts to retaliate, but Anjali intervenes, warning him to control himself and refrain from any further aggression.
Later, Prakash reaches out to Raghav, venting his frustrations about Anjali humiliating him in front of his girlfriend and Brijesh slapping him. He emphasizes that if Anjali shows up in court, there will be consequences. Raghav reassures him that Anjali won’t be attending court the next day.
Meanwhile, Anjali returns home, where Ganesh questions her whereabouts, noting that she hasn’t been at the Rajput house or home. He reprimands her for neglecting her responsibilities as a daughter-in-law. Anjali stands her ground, reminding him that he taught her to always uphold the truth. She explains that Prakash was celebrating with his girlfriend after Shivani’s murder and vows to pursue justice in court the following day.
Just then, Sapna intervenes, insisting that Anjali will not go to court. Anjali firmly insists that she will. In a moment of anger, Sapna slaps Anjali and scolds her, reminding her that she married Aman without the family’s consent and should abide by their household rules.
**Precap:** In court, Anjali plans to present evidence of Prakash and Deepika’s affair to uncover Prakash’s motive for killing Shivani.
