The episode opens with Aniruddh having a serious conversation with Lalon, expressing his intention to go abroad with Jhanak. Lalon, skeptical, responds that he doubts Jhanak would agree to such a drastic decision. Aniruddh, however, insists with determination that Jhanak has no choice but to listen to him, emphasizing that he will not abandon her. Lalon reminds Aniruddh of his marital status, pointing out that he is still married to Arshi. Unfazed, Aniruddh declares his intention to obtain a divorce from Arshi. He adds that if Arshi refuses to grant him a divorce, he is prepared to live with Jhanak in a separate house, away from the complications of his current marriage.
Lalon, concerned for Aniruddh’s well-being, suggests that Jhanak can stay at his house for a few days, but he insists that Aniruddh should return home, as Apu will be waiting for him to eat. Aniruddh, resolute, tells Lalon to head home without him, stating that he can manage the situation on his own. Lalon, sensing Aniruddh’s determination, reluctantly leaves, while Aniruddh finds himself lost in memories of the moments he shared with Jhanak, reflecting on their bond and the challenges they face.
Meanwhile, in the prison, the Jailer approaches Jhanak with a stern demeanor, informing her that she needs to prepare for her court appearance the following day. She instructs Jhanak to adhere strictly to the rules of the jail and warns the other prisoners not to reveal their true selves to Jhanak on her first day. As the Jailer exits, the prisoners begin to question Jhanak about her situation. Jhanak explains that she has been falsely accused, but one of the prisoners retorts that everyone claims innocence in such situations. The tension escalates when a prisoner provocatively asks if Jhanak is guilty of stealing a baby. In a fit of anger, Jhanak vehemently denies the accusation, insisting she did nothing of the sort.
Curiosity piqued, the prisoners inquire about Jhanak’s personal life, asking whether she is married or single. Jhanak, taken aback by the invasive questions, asks why they are so interested in her private affairs. The prisoner suggests that Jhanak must have a lover, prompting Jhanak to shift the conversation back to more productive topics. She encourages the prisoners, reminding them that they all have lives waiting for them outside and that she believes everyone possesses unique talents.
One of the prisoners mentions that the person in charge of the jail is a graduate, to which Jhanak responds by urging the in-charge to help teach the others. The in-charge, dismissive of Jhanak’s suggestions, tells her to stop talking nonsense. Undeterred, Jhanak reveals that she is also a graduate and expresses her passion for dancing. The prisoners, intrigued, challenge her to dance, insisting that they cannot escape from their harsh reality even if she performs. Jhanak, seeing this as an opportunity to inspire them, agrees to dance but questions whether her performance would truly change their lives.
On the other side of the story, Mrinalini is adamant that Jhanak is innocent and will surely be released the next day. She passionately asserts that those who conspired against Jhanak will face consequences for their actions. Arshi, overhearing the conversation, interjects, accusing Mrinalini of implying that she is responsible for Jhanak’s predicament. Arshi reveals her deep-seated resentment, claiming that Jhanak has ruined her life by coming between her and Aniruddh. Fueled by jealousy and anger, she vows to take revenge on Aniruddh for his unwavering support of Jhanak.
In a heated discussion, Bablu tries to mediate, suggesting that fighting among themselves will lead to nothing productive. Shubhankar, however, admonishes Bablu for siding with Aniruddh, reminding him of Aniruddh’s behavior in court. Anjana expresses her belief that Aniruddh thinks Jhanak is innocent, questioning why he cannot openly support her. Choton, echoing similar sentiments, agrees that Jhanak deserves justice. Mrinalini, sensing the tension, tells Arshi to call Aniruddh for clarity.
As Arshi places a call to Aniruddh and puts it on speaker, the atmosphere becomes charged. Aniruddh informs them that he won’t be returning home that night, prompting Arshi to confront him about his whereabouts. He admits he is waiting outside the jail for Jhanak. Tanuja, worried, urges Aniruddh to come home, but he firmly refuses. Arshi, feeling betrayed, insists that he must support her, but Aniruddh counters her demands, asking for a divorce. He expresses his desire to live freely, stating that he wishes to be with Jhanak. Choton voices his support for Aniruddh, while Arshi lashes out, labeling the Bose family members as deceitful. Mrinalini reminds Arshi to respect her elders, but Arshi remains defiant, declaring that she will not grant Aniruddh a divorce. In a final act of defiance, Aniruddh proclaims that he will live with Jhanak in another house, regardless of Arshi’s refusal. He abruptly disconnects the call, leaving the room filled with tension.
In a parallel scene, Nandini reaches out to Bipasha, revealing that Sarveshwar has contacted her. Bipasha, puzzled, questions why Sarveshwar would call Nandini after she had already given him money. Nandini explains that Sarveshwar is now demanding more money and has threatened to confront her husband if she does not comply. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Bipasha devises a plan, suggesting that they need to get Jhanak out of jail. She believes that if Jhanak learns about Aniruddh being in danger, she would be motivated to escape. Nandini, skeptical, accuses Bipasha of being just like Sarveshwar, but Bipasha reveals her true identity as Sarveshwar’s daughter, leaving Nandini shocked.
Back in the prison, the atmosphere shifts as the prisoners demand music. Suddenly, they hear someone singing, and Jhanak realizes it is Aniruddh’s voice. The prisoners, eager for entertainment, urge Jhanak to dance. With a mix of emotions, Jhanak begins to dance, pouring her heart into the performance, while Aniruddh watches from outside, tears streaming down his face as he feels the weight of their shared struggles.
**Precap:** Tensions rise as a police officer threatens to file a case against Aniruddh, while he reassures Jhanak that once this case is resolved, they will finally be able to live together.
