The episode opens with a tender moment as Vishwas lovingly feeds his son, Vihaan, urging him to finish his milk. Their peaceful interaction is interrupted when Vihaan receives a call from Avantika. He steps aside to take the call, and Avantika’s voice is filled with anger as she confronts him about cutting her off earlier. She accuses him of hurting Saniya and expresses her frustration, making it clear that she doesn’t care about his circumstances. Vishwas attempts to explain the situation, but Avantika coldly warns him not to contact her again before abruptly hanging up.
Vihaan returns to his father, inquiring if that was his mother on the phone. Just then, in a moment of clumsiness, Vihaan accidentally drops his glass of milk, shattering it on the floor. Vishwas reacts sharply, scolding him and sending him inside to avoid further trouble. As Vihaan moves to step on the broken glass, Vishwas quickly stops him, berating him for being careless and comparing him unfavorably to his mother. He expresses his frustration, telling Vihaan that he can’t even handle simple tasks and sends him away.
Meanwhile, Raj arrives home, parking his car before being forcibly taken by Manmeet to the garden. There, he finds Aarambhi in tears, and Manmeet passionately informs him that no one in the family cares for her. She reveals that his mother has thrown Aarambhi out of the house, and she implores Raj to choose whether he will support his bhabhi this time. Manmeet emphasizes that if Raj fails to stand by Aarambhi, he should reconsider marrying anyone, as it would show a lack of respect for women.
Aarambhi, lost in her own world, is on a video call with Rachna, expressing her despair. She laments that she will have to beg her family to let her return home for the sake of her son, Vihaan, even though she feels unloved and unwanted. At that moment, Raj steps forward, reassuring her that she doesn’t need to beg anyone. He wipes her tears away, affirming that this is her home and no one can prevent her from entering.
Back inside, Dimple begins to act dramatically, claiming she doesn’t even want to drink water. Nandita supports her in this display, and Dimple blames herself for all the problems in the house. Vishwas tries to console his mother, insisting that she shouldn’t blame herself. However, Dimple goes on to say that she regrets bringing Aarambhi into their lives. This prompts Vishwas to think that now might be the right time to tell his mother about his desire to divorce Aarambhi.
Just then, Raj returns with Aarambhi, offering her support. Dimple, however, is adamant that she cannot allow Aarambhi to enter the house. Raj challenges her, asking why she feels that way. Aarambhi explains that her name is not on the nameplate, which is why she has stayed away, but she is ready to accept any punishment for her mistakes. She pleads with them not to throw her out, citing her right to stay for her son.
Dimple refuses to listen, and Raj takes a stand, declaring that if Aarambhi is forced to leave, he will leave as well. Everyone is taken aback by his declaration. Raj argues that Vihaan deserves to have his mother with him, or else he risks losing him too. Dimple, in a fit of anger, calls Aarambhi disgusting, to which Aarambhi responds that the truly disgusting act was when Dimple slapped her in front of her son. She asserts that while Dimple may be stubborn for her son, she is equally determined to stay for Vihaan.
Raj encourages Aarambhi to go inside, and she enters the house, while Vishwas silently reflects that this was the perfect opportunity to rid himself of Aarambhi, and it has slipped away.
Aarambhi finds her way to Vihaan’s room, where they share a joyful reunion, hugging each other tightly. Vihaan apologizes for any distress he may have caused. Raj joins them with food, feeding both Aarambhi and Vihaan, which brings tears of gratitude to Aarambhi’s eyes. Afterward, she decides to step out of the room to face Dimple, feeling the need to apologize for Vihaan’s sake. She approaches Dimple and sincerely says she is sorry. Dimple coldly responds that Aarambhi is only allowed to stay because Vishwas loves her; if that were not the case, she would have been thrown out long ago and would not even have custody of Vihaan. Dimple dismisses her as a nobody and walks away.
Aarambhi is left contemplating her situation, realizing that Vishwas does not truly love her. She fears that if Dimple discovers the truth about her relationship with Vishwas, they might take Vihaan away from her. Determined to keep her relationship hidden until she can fight for her son’s custody, she steels herself for the challenges ahead.
Later, Vishwas approaches Aarambhi, wanting to talk. She tells him that Vihaan is sleeping on her lap and that she cannot move. Vishwas begins to feign an apology, claiming he hasn’t been a good husband and regrets abandoning her when she needed him most. He even mentions not donating his kidney when she was in dire need. Aarambhi, sensing his insincerity, tells him not to cry. Vishwas holds her hand, professing that he is unworthy of her but asks for another chance, promising to support her always.
Suddenly, Aarambhi wakes up from what turns out to be a dream. She chastises herself for hoping that Vishwas would return to her, fearing that such hopes would only lead to heartbreak. Just then, she receives a message from Vishwas stating that he is at the hospital for work. Aarambhi calls the hospital, only to learn that he is not there, leading her to conclude that he must be with Avantika.
Meanwhile, Vishwas is celebrating Holi with Saniya, apologizing for being busy the previous day. Saniya hugs him, expressing that she does not want to punish him for his absence. Avantika joyfully remarks that soon Saniya will call Vishwas “Dad,” and they can all live together as a family.
At home, Vihaan initially refuses to go to school, but Aarambhi lovingly convinces him to get ready. Raj arrives and playfully declares that he will apply color to his bhabhi first during Holi. Vihaan comments that while angel wings do not suit Aarambhi, a stethoscope would, since she is a “doctor of hearts.” He also mentions that Soundarya has lost her job and needs financial help. Aarambhi resolves to assist her.
At the dining table, Aarambhi again apologizes to Dimple, seeking permission to rehire Soundarya as she is a good cook. Dimple reluctantly agrees but insists that she does not want Vihaan playing with Soundarya’s son. Aarambhi agrees to this condition.
Mr. Tandon then asks Dimple to organize a Holi party at their home. Aarambhi takes on the responsibility for planning the event, announcing that she will go out for some supplies and return by evening. Dimple feels relieved to see Aarambhi behaving properly again.
Later at the hospital, Dimple and Nandita discuss Aarambhi, speculating about what their second daughter-in-law will be like. Manmeet passes by but leaves quickly, claiming to have work. Dimple and Nandita secretly plot to ensure that Manmeet leaves the hospital soon. Avantika arrives, and they invite her to the Holi party, to which she agrees.
Meanwhile, Aarambhi notices that Soundarya has injuries and, upon inquiry, learns that her husband has been abusive. Aarambhi offers to treat her wounds and provides first aid. Soundarya expresses her gratitude, praising Aarambhi and encouraging her, saying she will become a great doctor.
At the hospital, Raj discusses a patient with his team who wishes to remove a scar caused by domestic abuse, as it serves as a painful reminder of her marriage. Some interns mock the patient’s appearance, but Manmeet overhears and reprimands them, emphasizing the importance of respecting women and their struggles.
Later, Aarambhi checks on Kanika’s health, confirming that her blood pressure and sugar levels are stable. Kanika expresses her gratitude for Aarambhi’s care and even checks marriage profiles for her grandson, asking Aarambhi if she has a sister. Aarambhi smiles, feeling hopeful.
Kanika thanks Aarambhi for the homemade gujia she prepared, and Kuldeep presents Aarambhi with a cheque as payment for her excellent care of Kanika. Aarambhi feels overjoyed, as this marks her first salary, a significant milestone in her journey.
In the precap, Vishwas is about to apply color to Aarambhi during the Holi celebrations, but Avantika unexpectedly intervenes from behind, throwing color on him and wishing him a Happy Holi, setting the stage for more drama and conflict in the upcoming episodes.
