The episode begins with Ashika questioning Rajat about why he brought her to their home. Rajat informs her that she will be staying there from now on, but Bhagyasree is vehemently opposed to this decision and criticizes Rajat for his choice. Rajat tries to calm her, promising to explain later. Bhagyasree expresses her anger, prompting Raju to inquire about the situation. She reveals that Rajat has invited Ashika to stay, leading Raju to confront Rajat, questioning the rationale behind his decision. Rajat explains that Ashika had a fight with Arsh, who threw her out, but Raju argues that this doesn’t justify Ashika moving in. Savi enters, echoing Raju’s sentiments and challenging Rajat’s judgment. Rajat defends his decision, insisting it’s the right thing to do given the circumstances.
Raju continues to argue, asserting that while Kian, Ashika’s son, can stay, Ashika herself cannot. Kian interjects, insisting he won’t stay without his mother, which prompts Rajat to reassure him that both he and Ashika will be accommodated.
Later, Rajat helps Ashika settle into a bed. Kian asks for Rajat’s assistance in cleaning the black color off Ashika’s skin, and Rajat obliges. Just then, Savi sees Rajat tending to Ashika and leaves the room, visibly upset.
Rajat approaches Savi to acknowledge her discomfort with his decision to bring Ashika home. He apologizes for the situation, and Savi responds critically. Rajat reflects on their past misunderstandings, thanking Savi for her patience and understanding despite the tension.
At the dining table, Ashika addresses the Thakkar family, expressing remorse for her past behavior. However, Bhagyasree reminds her that the only reason she is in their home is due to the goodwill of Savi, Rajat, and Kian, instructing Ashika to remain in her room where she will get whatever she needs.
In another scene, Savi and Saisha discuss Saisha’s homework when Rajat approaches Savi with exciting news; her hall ticket for the UPSC exam has arrived, as he has applied on her behalf. Saisha nudges Savi to remember her promise to take the exam, and Savi agrees. Rajat then transforms Savi and Saisha’s room into a study area for Savi’s preparation.
As Savi focuses on her studies for the UPSC exam, Rajat supports her by bringing coffee and checking in on her needs.
Lucky gifts Savi a bag, Nidhi presents her with a pen, and Tara gives her a photo of a deity for her exam—all acts of encouragement Ashika observes from a distance. This sight brings back memories of how the Thakkar family once cared for her.
In a moment of vulnerability, Ashika tears up. When Kian asks what’s wrong, Ashika admits she regrets not valuing the Thakkar family before, acknowledging that she made a mistake. Kian encourages her to consider if they can still be a family unit with Rajat, Kian, and Saisha. Ashika cautiously agrees that they can try.
