The episode opens with Apu anxiously asking when the doctor will finally call them in for an appointment. Her impatience is palpable, and she fidgets in her seat, clearly distressed. Kajol, trying to soothe her, advises Apu to have a little patience, reminding her that good things come to those who wait. Aniruddh, standing nearby, chimes in, emphasizing that Apu can only enjoy her marriage once she is feeling better. Despite their reassurances, Apu expresses her discomfort, stating that she doesn’t feel well at all.
Lalon, observing Apu’s distress, inquires about her condition. Apu responds, her voice tinged with worry, that she has a severe headache. In a moment of despair, she dramatically declares that she feels as if she might die suddenly. Kajol, concerned for her sister, sternly tells Apu that they won’t engage in such negative talk. Lalon, confused by Apu’s sudden change in demeanor, admits he doesn’t understand why she has become so despondent. Apu, feeling overwhelmed, laments that everyone seems to be scolding her, which only adds to her distress. Jhanak, listening to the exchange, points out that Apu’s words are hurtful to those around her.
Realizing the impact of her words, Apu promises that she won’t speak like that again. Just then, the nurse enters, bringing news that the doctor has called for them. Apu, feeling frustrated from the long wait, stubbornly declares that since she has waited so long, she refuses to go in now. The nurse, trying to maintain order, warns Apu that if she doesn’t comply, she will have to send another patient in to see the doctor. In a moment of frustration, Apu scolds the nurse, but Aniruddh steps in to calm her down, gently guiding Apu inside.
Once in the doctor’s office, the physician greets Apu and asks how she is feeling. Apu promptly replies that she is not fine, expressing her frustration about the wait. Jhanak, concerned for Apu’s well-being, urges her not to speak disrespectfully to the doctor. The doctor, maintaining her professionalism, reassures them that it’s okay. She asks Apu to explain her symptoms. Just as Lalon is about to respond, Apu interrupts, insisting that she will speak for herself. She tells the doctor that she feels completely fine and adamantly states that she does not want an injection. Instead, she shifts the conversation to Aniruddh’s upcoming marriage, much to Kajol’s dismay, who urges Apu to remain quiet.
Apu continues to express her grievances, saying that everyone is scolding her and that her headache is unbearable, mentioning that she fainted earlier. Kajol interjects, confirming to the doctor that Apu is indeed suffering greatly from her headache. Jhanak adds that Apu fainted outside the program venue but seemed to recover after a few hours. The doctor, after examining Apu, suggests that they need to conduct several tests to understand her condition better. Lalon, concerned, asks the doctor if anything serious is wrong. The doctor, maintaining a cautious tone, replies that she cannot make any conclusions just yet. Apu, in her characteristic manner, jokes that Lalon is worried she will die, prompting the doctor to advise her against making such morbid statements.
Apu protests that she must attend Aniruddh’s marriage functions, claiming she cannot afford to take the tests. Aniruddh, standing firm, insists that these tests are crucial for her health. The doctor reiterates the importance of obtaining test results as quickly as possible and advises Apu to take care of herself. In a light-hearted moment, Apu offers the doctor a piece of chocolate as a thank-you for not giving her an injection. The doctor playfully reminds Apu that she hasn’t sung for her yet, prompting Apu to break into a song. The room fills with applause as everyone joins in, momentarily lifting the heavy atmosphere.
Meanwhile, in another part of the house, Vinayak confronts Arshi about her thoughts on divorcing Aniruddh. Srishti, overhearing the conversation, points out that Vinayak could have simply called Arshi to discuss this. She mentions that Siddarth is set to become their son-in-law, which raises Vinayak’s eyebrows. He expresses his confusion over how Arshi can consider being with Siddarth while still married to Aniruddh. Srishti counters, reminding him that he hasn’t asked anything of Aniruddh regarding his intentions. Vinayak firmly states that Aniruddh is not his son, and if Arshi truly loves Siddarth, she should come to his house after divorcing Aniruddh.
Srishti, sensing the tension, suggests that Vinayak is worried about societal perceptions. Vinayak accuses Srishti of instigating Arshi, demanding that Arshi admit she was influenced by Srishti’s opinions. Srishti, however, maintains that Arshi made her own decision. Siddharth, overhearing the conversation, feels fortunate to have gained Arshi’s parents’ support, believing it gives him power over her.
Arshi, standing her ground, insists that her decision to pursue freedom was entirely her own. Srishti reinforces that the divorce is particularly important for Aniruddh, especially since he plans to marry Jhanak on the very day of the divorce. As the conversation grows heated, Vinayak decides to leave. Siddharth considers stopping him, but Arshi holds him back, wanting to avoid further conflict. She turns to Srishti, seeking reassurance about her choices. Srishti affirms that Arshi’s quest for freedom is indeed the right path, and they share a heartfelt hug. Curiosity piqued, Srishti asks Siddharth about his future plans, to which he responds with enthusiasm, detailing his aspirations.
Later, Aniruddh returns home with Jhanak, eager to check on Arundhati. When he asks her what happened, Arundhati, in pain, blames Jhanak for her discomfort. Jhanak, determined to help, offers to give Arundhati a massage using the special oil she prepared. Arundhati, however, declines, insisting that she does not want Jhanak’s assistance. Anjana, witnessing the exchange, encourages Jhanak to fetch the oil.
As Jhanak goes to retrieve the oil, Arundhati reveals to Aniruddh that she fell in the bathroom, crying out in pain. When Jhanak returns with the oil, she persists in her efforts to convince Arundhati to accept the massage. Bipasha, skeptical, accuses Jhanak of bringing hot oil with ulterior motives. Jhanak, feeling insulted, defends herself, assuring Arundhati that the oil will provide her relief. Mrinalini chimes in, suggesting that if Arundhati feels better, she should gift Jhanak something as a token of gratitude. Bablu adds that Arundhati should attend Aniruddh and Jhanak’s wedding as her gift.
Bipasha, feeling left out, questions Bablu’s loyalty, but he and Anjana quickly scold her for her negativity. Eventually, Jhanak begins the oil massage on Arundhati, and to everyone’s surprise, Arundhati starts to feel better. She acknowledges that Jhanak is trying hard to win the family’s affection since she will soon be the daughter-in-law of the family. Mrinalini encourages Arundhati to attend all the wedding functions, emphasizing that Aniruddh deserves happiness, which he has found in Jhanak.
Feeling a sense of gratitude, Arundhati admits that she is indebted to Jhanak for her kindness. Jhanak, modestly, asks for Arundhati’s blessings, which mean more to her than any material gift. Arundhati agrees to attend the wedding, and Jhanak’s face lights up with joy upon hearing this.
In the precap, Aniruddh calls Siddarth, only to learn that Arshi won’t be showing up at the court for their divorce proceedings. Regret washes over him as he reflects on trusting Arshi, while Arshi, in the shadows, contemplates how Aniruddh’s dream of marrying Jhanak might shatter.
