The episode opens with Padma anxiously speaking to Aarti over the phone, informing her that Anjali has eaten her food and urging her to return home quickly. Aarti, however, expresses her desire to finish a story she is working on about Kali before heading back. After a brief exchange, Anjali ends the call, leaving Aarti to her task.
Later, Aarti receives a call from Ved, who excitedly tells her that he is coming to Mumbai and wants to meet her so they can finally have a proper conversation. Aarti agrees to the meeting, intrigued by the prospect of seeing Ved in person. Ved asks if she has seen his photo, to which Aarti replies that she hasn’t. She finds this aspect of their relationship interesting—the fact that they are getting married without ever having seen each other’s faces. After a light-hearted exchange, Aarti tells Ved she will talk to him later and hangs up. She then sets off for the railway station, accompanied by Kali in an auto-rickshaw.
Meanwhile, Raghav is seen gazing at a photograph of Aman, lost in memories of his late brother. Gaurav approaches him, noting that even after all these years, Raghav still misses Aman. He reminds Raghav that Aman had once asked them to sever ties with Anjali, the woman he loved deeply. Gaurav suggests that it might be time to bring Anjali back home and start her treatment, but Raghav reacts strongly, telling Gaurav not to mention Anjali’s name and making a harsh remark about her.
Abhay joins the conversation, lamenting how their once-happy home has been filled with lifelessness for years, attributing this change to Anjali. He reflects on the tragic incident, stating that Anjali was the intended target of the attack, but it was Aman who ultimately paid the price for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Gaurav then presses Raghav and Abhay, questioning whether they truly have no remaining connection to Anjali. Just then, Vaibhav arrives and coldly refers to Anjali as “that widow,” asserting that since Aman’s death, she has no ties to their family.
Gaurav brings up the fact that Anjali was once pregnant, prompting Raghav to respond with disdain, declaring that the baby is as good as dead to him—just like Anjali. He emphasizes that his sole focus is on finding the person responsible for Aman’s death.
At this moment, Bhajan enters the scene, telling Raghav that he won’t be able to find Aman’s killer after 21 years, especially since the case has been closed. Gaurav questions Bhajan about the investigation, asking whose name had come up—was it Chandraman, Yuvraj, or Bhajan himself? Mehek intervenes, reminding Gaurav that Bhajan is the son-in-law of the Rajput family and should not be treated disrespectfully over an old case.
Meanwhile, Uday calls Bhajan, prompting Bhajan to ask if the call is about a case. He reminds Uday that Raghav is no longer handling cases and assures him that he will take care of it. Uday clarifies that his call is not about a case but rather to inform Bhajan that Ved’s wedding has been fixed. Bhajan expresses his congratulations and inquires about the bride.
In a different setting, Aarti enthusiastically shares with Ganesh and Padma how she managed to sneak into a godown and record footage of human trafficking activities. She reveals that she also rescued a girl during her mission and introduces Kali to them. Aarti explains that Kali will be staying with them, but both Padma and Ganesh object to this arrangement. Aarti counters their objections by reminding Padma that she was once in a similar situation as Kali, and that Anjali had saved her—therefore, Padma should extend the same kindness and support to Kali.
Later, Aarti approaches Anjali, asking her to allow Kali to stay with them. To gauge Anjali’s feelings, she asks her to blink if she agrees. Anjali blinks, and Aarti interprets this as a sign of consent, feeling relieved and happy that Kali can stay.
