Lalon acknowledges that he knows she loves him, though he has never seen her that way, and she responds that it’s alright.
Meanwhile, Apu tells the doctor that she wants to see Lalon, but the doctor insists she needs to think of him as being farther away. Apu cries out for Lalon.

Arshi voices her frustration, claiming there is no humanity left. Choton confronts her about taking Aniruddh away from Jhanak. Aniruddh urges Choton to let it go, while Choton declares he can’t stand it any longer. He asserts that Jhanak is not Arshi’s possession. Arshi retorts that if Jhanak doesn’t care for her, she cannot stay in the house. Choton insists that Arshi doesn’t have the authority to make such decisions, but Arshi claims her rights over Jhanak, being her elder sister. Jhanak interjects, stating that she hasn’t given anyone such authority, and she will attend the wedding if she chooses to, as she feels indebted to Aniruddh for helping her care for Arshi.
The episode concludes on a tense note.
