The episode opens with an emotionally charged scene as Jhanak gazes at Parashar, her eyes brimming with tears. She expresses how much she has missed him, her voice trembling with emotion. Parashar, moved by her sentiment, reassures her that he will book a room in Kolkata so he can stay by her side during this challenging time. Jhanak, feeling vulnerable, asks him to do that if he is able, emphasizing that he is the only father she has ever known. She passionately declares that she is fighting this case to prove that Aniruddh is a liar and that her sole focus is on ensuring justice for Nutan. Parashar hugs her tightly, promising that he will always be there for her as a father should.
In a supportive tone, Rishi offers to arrange a place for Parashar to stay, recognizing the importance of family support during this difficult period. Parashar, however, humbly states that he already feels indebted to Rishi, acknowledging that reaching this point in the case would not have been possible without his help. At that moment, Dhamu and Kanka arrive with a few villagers, causing Jhanak to express her concern about Kanka’s presence, as she feels that Kanka harbors ill feelings toward both her and Nutan. Parashar reassures her not to worry, and an assistant guides Jhanak and Rishi inside the court.
Inside the courtroom, the magistrate addresses Jhanak, acknowledging that he has heard about Aniruddh’s attempts to harm her. Jhanak firmly states that she is determined to fight for Nutan’s justice and makes it clear that she has no interest in Aniruddh’s wealth; her focus remains solely on the DNA test case. The magistrate instructs his assistant to bring Aniruddh and his lawyer into the room. However, the assistant soon reports that they have not yet arrived. The magistrate then inquires whether the villagers have arrived, to which Jhanak nods in affirmation. He instructs Jhanak and Rishi to wait outside while he calls Parashar inside.
Once inside, the magistrate questions Parashar about his relationship with Nutan. Parashar recounts the story of how he first met Nutan while traveling on a bus with Aditi and how he took them to Simulboni. He explains that only villagers could stay in Simulboni, leading him to lie about Nutan being his wife. When asked about his occupation, Parashar falsely claims to be a farmer. He recounts how Aniruddh returned to Simulboni after five years for a project and met Nutan again, staying at the local lodge for a few days before leaving with Aditi, who is Aniruddh and Arshi’s daughter. The magistrate prompts him to continue, and Parashar reveals that Aniruddh returned to Simulboni once more.
Just then, Aniruddh enters the courtroom, offering an apology for his tardiness. The magistrate, visibly unimpressed, instructs Aniruddh to wait outside, noting that it appears he does not value the family court’s proceedings. Aniruddh apologizes again, and his lawyer requests that they be allowed to stay. The magistrate then asks Jhanak’s lawyer to call her and the others inside.
Jhanak and Rishi enter the courtroom along with the villagers. The magistrate encourages Parashar to continue with his testimony. Parashar asserts that Aniruddh married Nutan after claiming to be divorced from Arshi, presenting marriage photos as evidence. The magistrate agrees to accept Nutan’s letter as additional evidence.
Meanwhile, Aditi is lost in thought, recalling Jhanak’s insistence on a DNA test. Anjana enters the room and urges Aditi to eat something, but Aditi expresses her frustration, claiming that Aniruddh is making poor choices due to Jhanak’s influence. She adds that Aniruddh is reluctantly participating in the court proceedings regarding the DNA test. Aditi questions why Nutan would lie before her death, to which Anjana defends Nutan, insisting that she never lied. Aditi, confused, asks if Anjana is implying that Jhanak is indeed Aniruddh and Nutan’s daughter. Anjana attempts to change the subject, but Aditi, overwhelmed, declares she cannot eat and leaves the room.
In another part of town, Payal voices her concerns to Tanushri and Abhimanyu, lamenting that society is mocking them. She accuses them of saying that Rishi is misusing his power. Neelu chimes in, blaming Jhanak for ruining everything. Putul tries to defend Jhanak, insisting that she is just helping her family. Payal retorts that they are witnessing something entirely different.
Neelu presses Tanushri to reveal what happened on Christmas night, prompting Abhimanyu to question her about it. Tanushri hesitates but ultimately remains silent. Neelu takes it upon herself to reveal what Tanushri witnessed that night, leading Abhimanyu to confront Tanushri for not telling him sooner. Tanushri explains that she wanted to protect Rishi from being seen in a negative light. Abhimanyu scolds her for her loyalty to Rishi, while Putul defends Jhanak’s character. Neelu insists that Jhanak has turned their home into a circus and declares that she will not tolerate her presence any longer. Tanushri asserts that she is siding with Aditi, while Putul counters by stating she stands for the truth. Abhimanyu ultimately asserts that Rishi must choose between Jhanak and Aditi.
Back at home, Aditi expresses her worries to Arshi, noting that Aniruddh’s phone is switched off. She fears what will happen if Jhanak is indeed Aniruddh’s daughter, worried that this truth could strip her of everything she holds dear. Arshi tries to calm Aditi, reassuring her that everything will be fine and that the test results will not come back positive. Aditi, still anxious, questions whether Arshi is not afraid of the outcome. Arshi confidently states that Jhanak means nothing to them, and only Aditi is the true daughter of the house, pulling her into a comforting embrace.
In the precap, Aniruddh drops a bombshell in court, claiming that Parashar’s real name is Anantkumarnihar and accusing him of lying about his identity. Jhanak is left in shock as Aniruddh asserts that the truth will soon emerge, revealing that Jhanak is actually Parashar’s daughter. The tension in the courtroom escalates, leaving everyone on edge as they anticipate the unfolding of this shocking revelation.
