The episode opens with a tense confrontation between Jhanak and the woman who has stolen the baby. Jhanak, filled with righteous anger, accuses the woman of committing an unforgivable sin by taking a child that does not belong to her. The woman, overwhelmed with emotion, breaks down in tears, revealing the painful truth of her situation. She explains that she never anticipated her husband would abandon her, leaving her feeling lost and unable to live without the baby she has taken.
In a moment of calm amidst the turmoil, Jhanak gently urges the woman to consider the child’s future. She reassures her that the baby will be safe and well cared for with her relatives, emphasizing that it is in the child’s best interest to return to her rightful family. After a moment of hesitation and internal struggle, the woman reluctantly agrees, expressing her desire for the baby to have a good life, free from the struggles she faces.
Recognizing the gravity of the situation, Jhanak records their conversation, making it clear to the woman that if the truth were to come to light, she could face serious legal consequences, potentially leading to jail time. The woman, now frightened by the implications of her actions, hands over the baby to Jhanak. In a moment of vulnerability, she provides Jhanak with her phone number, asking to be informed about the child’s well-being and expressing a wish to meet the baby someday. Jhanak, with a promise of her own, assures the woman that she will reunite the baby with its real parents at the appropriate time.
Back at home, Anirudh is in a reflective mood and asks Anjana to call Jhanak, expressing his desire to apologize for his previous behavior. Mrinalini chimes in, stating that everyone in the household owes Jhanak an apology for their actions. Meanwhile, Lalon notices that Appu’s fever has worsened, prompting him to decide that it would be best to take her home for proper care. However, Appu is adamant about wanting to see Jhanak first. In response, Mimi volunteers to go out and search for Jhanak.
As tensions rise, Bipasha comes to the defense of Arshi, pointing out that Anirudh is not yet officially divorced. Anirudh, with a hint of sarcasm, retorts that while Bipasha may understand the law, her actions still contradict it. Frustrated by the ongoing drama, Laal threatens to leave the household if Bipasha doesn’t change her ways. He gives her a 24-hour ultimatum, offering her a flat and a monthly stipend to support herself. In response, Bipasha asserts her rights to the flat and seeks legal assistance from Shubh, who unfortunately refuses to help her, citing his own reasons.
Mimi returns from her search, reporting that Jhanak is nowhere to be found. Anirudh begins to panic as he searches for her, recalling that Jhanak had previously asked to postpone their wedding. It dawns on him that she may have left the area entirely. Shubh, harboring his own bitterness, expresses a desire for Jhanak never to return. Meanwhile, Appu, distressed by Jhanak’s absence, cries out for her. Anirudh, accompanied by Choton, decides to head out in search of Jhanak, determined to bring her back. Just then, Vinayak arrives, also looking for Jhanak, and he joins Anirudh and Choton in their quest.
In a parallel storyline, Arshi confronts Siddharth by stopping his car. After visiting his house, she learns that he is currently with Simran, his girlfriend. Siddharth, dismissing any emotional connection with Arshi, claims that she was merely a friend and accuses her of pursuing him for his money. Arshi is devastated by his refusal to acknowledge any promises he made to her, leaving her feeling betrayed and heartbroken. Simran adds insult to injury, mocking Arshi, while Siddharth warns her to stay away from him or face dire consequences. With that, he departs with Simran, leaving Arshi in a state of despair and emotional turmoil.
Later in the episode, Anirudh returns home, visibly troubled by the day’s events. Lalon assists him inside, offering support in the midst of his distress. Meanwhile, on a public bus, Kulbhushan’s goon, Rahul, spots Jhanak and devises a plan to capture her. A kind stranger sitting nearby notices Jhanak’s fearful demeanor and inquires if she is feeling unwell. Jhanak, realizing she is being watched, becomes increasingly anxious, aware of the danger that lurks nearby.
As the episode approaches its climax, the precap reveals an intriguing twist: Jhanak, now living in a village with Anirudh’s child, unexpectedly crosses paths with Anirudh again when he visits the village for a project. This encounter promises to bring forth new challenges and revelations as their lives become intertwined once more.
