The episode opens with Tanuja expressing her concerns to Srishti, stating that Jhanak cannot continue living in the Bose house. However, Choton insists that Jhanak should remain there. Tanuja defers the decision, saying it should be made by Arundati, who reminds everyone that Shubhankar wishes to apologize to Jhanak and that no choices can be made until he returns from court. She also asserts that Arshi has the same rights to the house as Choton and Aniruddh. Srishti then approaches Jhanak, admitting she wishes to apologize and claiming she has changed. Jhanak is taken aback by this declaration.
Meanwhile, Jimli questions Lalon about why he didn’t demand the full amount from Shubhankar, and Lalon responds that he accepted all the money their father gave him. Jimli presses him for the interest, lamenting that Shubhankar was responsible for their father’s demise and has taken everything from them. Apu advises Lalon to be cautious about trusting Shubhankar. Jimli warns Lalon that the Bose family might ruin his future, and her disdain for the situation is evident as she catches Apu’s eye. Lalon feels Jimli has become blind to love, but he warns her to stay out of his personal affairs.
Laal interrupts the conversation, wanting to discuss his room with Lalon. He tells Lalon to stop the ongoing drama, explaining that both Arundati and Amitabh wouldn’t handle it well if they decided to leave. After he departs, Apu asks Lalon if Laal can be trusted, and Lalon reassures him that Laal seemed sincere, revealing he had falsely claimed those people were decorators.
Srishti begins pleading with Jhanak, stating that her legal situation is about to take a turn that could lead to jail, and she asks for forgiveness. Jhanak retorts that she is not the one to forgive Srishti and believes nothing will change even if she does. Srishti expresses her shame for her past actions and her desire to amend her mistakes, but Jhanak remains adamant that she is no one to her, refusing to forgive Srishti. Srishti insists that Jhanak has a right to be with her and asks her to stay for a few days.
Arshi, watching the exchange, tells Srishti that if her aim is to forget Jhanak, then so be it. Srishti counters that while Arshi may have everything, Jhanak has nothing and needs her support. Arshi commands Srishti to take Jhanak away immediately. Srishti urges Jhanak to come with her, vowing she has truly changed and can improve Jhanak’s life.
Aniruddh is skeptical of Srishti’s intentions. Choton reiterates that Jhanak belongs in the Bose house. Srishti argues her case as Jhanak’s mother, claiming the right to take her back, but Aniruddh points out Srishti’s poor track record as a mother. Jhanak, standing firm, states her true mother is Urvashi and she won’t replace her. Srishti acknowledges that gaining Jhanak’s trust will be difficult but encourages Jhanak to visit her if she stays with the Bose family.
Meenu arrives and comforts Jhanak, assuring her she did nothing wrong and only trusted the wrong people. Aniruddh cautions Srishti that he cannot risk sending Jhanak with her.
In another storyline, Jimli is with her boyfriend and confides in him about her family troubles over money. He tells her he doesn’t want any for himself, but she deserves what should be hers. He insists she fight harder for the money that rightly belongs to her. Jimli mentions that her mother wishes to bring him into the family, but he refuses, suggesting it’s unnecessary for him to meet her family. He encourages her to take the money if it’s in their home, prompting her to question why she should resort to stealing. He insists it’s her rightful inheritance and that her family does not care for her happiness.
Later, Jhanak cleans Arshi’s room and promises to bring her soup afterward. Arshi declares her love for Aniruddh as the reason for her pregnancy, implying that Jhanak’s presence is due to him as well. Jhanak expresses her indifference toward Aniruddh and offers to play the role of a nanny if needed. Arshi scolds her, but Jhanak asserts that she deserves respect for her feelings and is willing to wait for her love despite her circumstances.
The episode concludes with the implications of ongoing tension and unresolved feelings.
**Precap:** Aniruddh instructs Arshi not to treat Jhanak as a maid.
