The episode opens with a poignant scene where Daimaa inquires about Nutan’s well-being. Nutan responds positively, expressing that she is feeling better and extends her gratitude to Daimaa for her support. In a caring tone, Daimaa instructs Parashar to ensure that the house remains clean and advises Nutan to reach out to her if any issues arise. Parashar, showing appreciation, thanks Daimaa before she departs.
Meanwhile, Kanka reflects on her unique understanding of the village deity’s decision, believing that she has grasped its significance better than anyone else. She instructs Rani to gather herbs to prepare a traditional herbal drink known as ‘kada’ for Nutan, convinced that it will aid in her recovery. Kanka plans to have Bua administer this drink to Nutan, determined to help her.
On another front, Abhijeet confronts a woman who had pushed Ishani, clearly upset by the incident. A media reporter approaches Ishani, seeking her perspective on the situation. Ishani, feeling disheartened, retorts that there is nothing left for her to say since others have made decisions on her behalf. She turns to Abhijeet and suggests that they should go home. Abhijeet, concerned about the unfolding events, pleads with the principal to reconsider the decision affecting Ishani’s education. However, the principal informs him that there is nothing she can do, stating that the college management has made their choice, which prohibits Ishani from studying from home.
As tensions rise, parents in the vicinity begin to blame Ishani for the turmoil, but Abhijeet stands up for her, defending her character against the accusations. The principal, feeling the pressure of the situation, asks Abhijeet to take Ishani away, which he reluctantly agrees to, expressing his disappointment in the principal’s handling of the matter. He believed she would prioritize Ishani’s future but feels she is instead focused solely on the college’s reputation. Ishani, feeling overwhelmed by the blame directed at her, confides in Abhijeet that she no longer wishes to pursue her studies under such scrutiny.
Simultaneously, Mimi engages in a conversation with Anirban, questioning whether he would be willing to move in with her after their marriage. She suggests that Anirban’s parents could also live with them. However, Anirban perceives her request as a reluctance to marry him, suggesting that she is imposing difficult conditions. Mimi asserts her independence, stating that she is a successful woman and that Anirban’s interest is tied to her achievements. Anirban counters, claiming that he too possesses wealth and influence, and if he were solely after those, he could find someone else easily. He professes his love for Mimi, but she insists on a court marriage, indicating a shift in her views on traditional marriage. Anirban expresses his understanding of her stance and his desire for a happy life together. As their conversation concludes, Mimi mentions she needs to pack her belongings before leaving.
Later, Abhijeet arrives home with Ishani, expressing his frustration over how the college has treated them. Ishani reflects on her regrets about attending the marriage that led to the current chaos. Ambika, her mother, advises Ishani to take responsibility for her actions rather than blame the marriage itself. Ishani feels guilty for the troubles Abhijeet is facing because of her situation, prompting him to suggest she retreat to her room for some space. Ambika comments on the public humiliation Abhijeet has endured, while Adrika announces her intention to stay in the hostel. Ambika instructs both Adrika and Aarav to focus on their studies.
Abhijeet, pondering the media’s portrayal of the events, urges Ishani to clarify what truly happened in the jungle. Overcome with emotion, Ishani begins to cry. Ambika insists that tears won’t alter the reality of their situation and demands the truth from Ishani. Under pressure, Ishani insists that nothing inappropriate happened to her. Ambika warns that if Ishani is lying, she will have to leave the house. Meanwhile, Abhijeet laments that he lacks the financial means to quit his job.
In a moment of desperation, Ambika suggests arranging Ishani’s marriage as a potential solution, but Abhijeet counters that marriage will not resolve their issues. Ishani, feeling trapped, contemplates the idea of suicide, believing it would be easier than enduring her current reality. She expresses her despair over the thought of living without her education. Abhijeet encourages her to consider studying from home, but Ambika admonishes him for promoting that idea. Ishani, feeling increasingly isolated, questions whether all the blame lies with her before retreating to her room.
Later, Nutan reaches out to Ishani, asking how she is coping. Ishani reveals her feelings of being treated like a criminal by everyone around her and shares the details of her struggles. Nutan, perplexed by the unjust treatment, wonders why this is happening when Ishani has done nothing wrong. She encourages Ishani to visit her, but Ishani explains that she feels confined at home and cannot leave. Nutan reassures her that things will eventually improve and urges her to confront the challenges with courage. However, Ishani expresses her feelings of hopelessness, stating that even her parents doubt her integrity. Overwhelmed with emotion, she confides that she wishes to die. Nutan, moved by her plight, offers her a place to stay, but Ishani declines, feeling unable to accept such help. Nutan implores Ishani not to succumb to defeat.
The following day, Mimi arrives in Simulboni and instructs local officials to commence redevelopment efforts in the village. An officer mentions Parashar to her, which catches his attention as he learns about the city officials’ visit. He advises Nutan to speak with them about the village’s needs. When Mimi arrives with the officers, Nutan, noticing her presence, chooses to hide. Mimi engages with the villagers, asking them to voice their concerns. Kanka seizes the opportunity to inform Mimi that their village lacks a school. Mimi promises to return and address the issues before departing, leaving Nutan to reflect on Mimi’s apparent maturity.
