The episode begins with Vihaan’s family bringing Jhanak to the Gaushala. Babuji asks Ketki why there’s such urgency to perform the ritual today. Ketki snaps back, saying he shouldn’t meddle in family matters since she doesn’t meddle in his business dealings. Babuji nods, acknowledging her point, and then reassures Jhanak, telling her not to be frightened. Jhanak confidently replies that there’s no reason for her to be scared; if others can do it, so can she. Babuji praises her attitude, explaining that if they show love to the cow, it will reciprocate.
Referring to the cow as Lakshmi, Ketki warns her not to kick Jhanak. Mehek interjects, telling Ketki to avoid speaking that way. In response, Ketki insists that Mehek shouldn’t interfere in her family matters. Mehek retorts that Ketki can do as she pleases. Jhanak expresses her eagerness to learn if Ketki is willing to teach her. However, Ketki insists that Jhanak must first complete some basic tasks before she decides to teach her, teasing that Jhanak is getting a bit too confident after cooking a delicious meal the previous day.
Just then, Ajay arrives with his camera, excitedly announcing that Jhanak will demonstrate how to fetch milk from the cow. He prompts his viewers to keep watching his videos. Jhanak quickly asks him to stop recording, but Ketki scolds her for trying to interrupt. Jhanak argues that while Ketki keeps the household staff hidden to protect them, she shouldn’t allow Ajay to record them. Firmly, she states that she won’t do any work in the Gaushala unless Ajay stops filming.
Vihaan approaches Ketki, questioning what is happening. Ketki instructs Ajay to stop recording, but Ajay insists that the video will go viral. Vihaan intervenes, demanding to know who gave Ajay permission to film. Ajay responds that Ketki did. Ketki clarifies that while she did give permission, she didn’t think it would cause any issues.
Jhanak confronts Ketki, asking how she could allow a video of her to be shared without her consent. Ketki accuses Jhanak of insulting her, but Jhanak firmly replies that she is merely standing up for herself. She insists that while she is doing her household chores, she doesn’t appreciate being recorded. Vihaan nods in agreement, supporting Jhanak’s stance.
Meanwhile, Aniruddh tells Arshi that he will return in a few days, expressing his regret about leaving her in this situation. Arshi reassures him that she is fine and that she doesn’t expect him to stay by her side all the time. She asks whether he intends to go to Mumbai from Vihaan’s house. He clarifies that he didn’t mean it like that. Arshi encourages him to go find Jhanak but Aniruddh insists he won’t visit Vihaan’s house. She adds that she would feel bad if he stayed behind because of her.
Back to Sejal and Prachi, Sejal mentions that they’ve never spoken to Ketki like this before. Prachi sides with Jhanak, saying she is right; when she fetched milk from the cow for the first time, no one came to see her. Mehek agrees with Jhanak as well. Praveen Kumar then asks Ketki how she would have felt if they had recorded Mehek while she was working. He tells Ajay to stop filming and leave, to which Ketki also adds her request for Ajay to exit.
Jhanak turns to Ketki, asking what she should do next. Ketki replies that Jhanak knows what needs to be done but adds that she won’t provide any guidance on how to do it. In a taunting tone, she suggests Jhanak should use a mobile device to learn. Prachi urges Jhanak not to take unnecessary risks, while Sejal emphasizes that Jhanak can’t control Lakshmi no matter what. Undeterred, Jhanak insists she can try, asserting that as a member of Vihaan’s family, it’s her responsibility to handle the situation carefully. She tells Ketki she won’t be sent to the cow, especially if there’s a risk of injury.
Meanwhile, Arshi encourages Aniruddh to go find Jhanak, reminding him of all the sacrifices he has made for her. She expresses her frustration, stating that she no longer wants to feel angry or disinterested in everything. Aniruddh acknowledges his past mistakes and tells her he doesn’t want to leave her side. Arshi confesses that she has hurt both him and Jhanak in pursuit of her own peace, realizing that happiness cannot be bought. She urges him not to waste any more time and to go. He reassures her that he will call her later before leaving.
Over in another scene, Rumi asks Mimi why she has stopped attending parties. Mimi explains that their parents have not given them any reason to be proud, adding that something has gone wrong with Jhanak, and she too made mistakes. Rumi questions this newfound perspective from Mimi.
Meanwhile, Jhanak applies tilak on Lakshmi and performs a puja. Then, using Vihaan’s phone, she learns how to fetch milk from the cow and successfully retrieves it from Lakshmi. Everyone claps for her except for Ketki and Sejal, with Ketki telling them to stop clapping. She then instructs Jhanak to clean up after the cow. Vihaan questions whether that’s really necessary, but Jhanak confidently assures him that she can handle it.
**Precap:** Aniruddh meets Vihaan, who asks Mehek to bring his wife.
