The episode starts with the family enthusiastically wishing Savi good luck for her exam. Rajat offers to drive her to the exam center. Just then, Kian arrives and asks Rajat if he’ll accompany him to a counseling session. Rajat turns to Ashika and questions why she couldn’t manage to secure a different time slot. Ashika explains that the scheduling was beyond her control. Savi encourages Rajat to go with Kian, but he insists on attending the session via video call instead. Despite Ashika’s persuasion, Rajat sticks to his decision and leaves with Savi and Sai.
In another part of the house, Raju reminds Bhagyashree that Savi is their daughter-in-law, not Ashika. Bhagyashree agrees and admits that she only tolerates Ashika for Kian’s sake. She vows that once Kian settles in with them, she will ask Rajat to send Ashika away. Unbeknownst to them, Ashika and Kian overhear this conversation.
During Rajat’s video counseling session, the counselor informs him that Kian feels insecure and fears being pushed out by Savi. The counselor advises Rajat to address Kian’s concerns directly. Rajat agrees to take action. After Savi finishes her exam, she comes out beaming with joy. Rajat eagerly asks how it went, and Savi hugs him, thanking him for his support. Sai then reveals that Rajat has arranged a surprise party in her honor.
As they drive to the party, Ashika broods, believing Rajat has prioritized Savi over Kian. She subtly manipulates Kian by reminding him that today marks their 12th wedding anniversary, lamenting that they would typically celebrate together if not for Savi’s presence. Kian looks visibly distressed by her words.
At the party, Rajat is thrilled to see Savi’s happiness. Kian asks Savi to order a cake so they can celebrate their birthdays together, something they’ve never done before. When the cake arrives, everyone is shocked to see it adorned with the message “Happy Anniversary Rajat & Ashika.” Rajat immediately confronts the manager, who reveals that Kian provided the instructions. Kian excitedly reveals a surprise anniversary decoration and urges Rajat to cut the cake alongside him, Sai, and Ashika. Despite Rajat’s initial reluctance, Bhagyashree persuades him to join in. Rajat cuts the cake, and Kian insists that Savi takes a family photo of them together, which she obliges.
After the celebration, Savi pulls Ashika aside to confront her about using Kian to get closer to Rajat. Unbeknownst to them, Rajat overhears the conversation as Savi warns Ashika to cease her manipulative tactics. Once Savi leaves, Rajat tells Ashika that everyone recognizes her schemes and that she needs to stop her plotting.
Later, after drinking wine, Rajat approaches Savi and apologizes for not managing Kian’s behavior. Savi fires back, accusing him of not defending their relationship or stopping Kian’s antics. Hurt, Rajat asks why she focuses only on his faults. The tension escalates until he stumbles, and Savi helps him. She takes him to the shower and demands that he get a grip on himself before walking away. Frustrated, Rajat shouts, questioning why she can’t see his efforts. Savi confesses her insecurity regarding his closeness to Ashika. In that moment, Rajat corners her against the wall and admits that he knows she has developed feelings for him, as he feels the same. Savi becomes emotional at his revelation.
The episode concludes.
**Precap:** Ashika blames Savi for Kian’s sudden disappearance.
