The episode begins with a poignant scene where Parashar notices Nutan’s sudden change in demeanor after encountering Mimi. Concerned, he asks her why she appears so sad upon seeing Mimi. Nutan quickly reassures him, insisting that it’s not as it seems. She explains that Mimi spoke kindly to her, and she feels a connection to her, having known her for some time. In a moment of excitement, she calls out to Mimi, who turns around and lights up at the sight of Nutan. Mimi rushes over and envelops Nutan in a warm hug, expressing her joy at seeing her. Curious, Mimi asks Nutan if she lives there, to which Parashar confirms that Nutan indeed resides in their home. This leads Mimi to mistakenly assume that Nutan has married Parashar.
Nutan, sensing an opportunity to inspire Mimi, tells her that if she works for the villagers, she could become like a goddess to them. Mimi nods thoughtfully at Nutan’s suggestion before departing. After her departure, Parashar turns to Nutan, still concerned, and asks why she seems upset. Nutan reveals that Mimi is actually Aniruddh’s sister, which adds a layer of complexity to her feelings. Parashar urges Nutan to share the news of her pregnancy with Mimi, but Nutan hesitates, questioning why she should disclose such personal information, especially when she hasn’t even told Aniruddh yet.
Later, we see Kanka visiting Bua, who is preparing a concoction known as ‘kada.’ Bua ominously suggests that this ‘kada’ might even lead to Nutan’s demise along with that of her unborn child. She expresses disbelief that Nutan could be pregnant with Aniruddh’s baby, implying that Parashar is blind to the truth of the situation. Bua feels it is her duty to protect the village from the wrath of their deity, which she believes is linked to Nutan’s pregnancy. Kanka agrees with Bua’s sentiments, and together they decide to confront Nutan with the ‘kada.’
Upon arriving at Nutan, Bua insists that she drink the ‘kada,’ claiming it is beneficial for both her and the baby. Nutan, feeling pressured, responds that she will drink it later. Bua, however, insists that it is crucial for her health, and Kanka joins in, encouraging her to comply. Nutan, confused by their insistence, questions why Bua is so adamant about her drinking it. Kanka, sensing Nutan’s hesitation, asks if she believes the ‘kada’ is poison. Bua counters that everyone else has consumed it, emphasizing her concern for Nutan and the baby’s well-being. Eventually, Nutan relents and agrees to drink, but she notices a strange exchange of glances between Bua and Kanka, raising her suspicions about their true intentions.
On a parallel storyline, Ambika is deeply worried about her daughter Ishani, who has been unresponsive. She confides in Abhijeet, expressing her frustration that everyone is inquiring about Ishani’s well-being at his office. Abhijeet, trying to be pragmatic, urges her to understand Ishani’s situation and reminds her that time will heal their troubles. Just then, Adrika and Aarav enter, asking for breakfast. Adrika mentions that her file is in Ishani’s room, but Ishani is still refusing to open the door. Aarav, loyal to his sister, defends Ishani’s decision to stay inside.
Abhijeet knocks on the door, urging Ishani to at least acknowledge them, even if she doesn’t want to eat. Ambika adds that Ishani is likely upset with them, which is why she is behaving this way. Aarav pleads with Ishani to open the door and talk to him, while Adrika requests that she hand over her file. In a moment of determination, Aarav climbs through the window and manages to unlock the door from the inside. When Ishani’s family enters, they are met with the shocking sight of Ishani lying unconscious.
Meanwhile, Bipasha arrives at Lalon’s house, having heard about Apu’s passing. Anuradha confronts her, pointing out that she didn’t bother to visit when Apu was alive. Bipasha expresses her regret over this, stating that she has changed and wants to pay her respects to Apu. She tells Lalon that she understands his pain, acknowledging that Apu was fortunate to have him as a husband. Bipasha encourages Lalon not to dwell in sadness, suggesting that Apu would not want to see him in despair. She urges him to sing in Apu’s memory.
Anuradha, still grappling with her grief, admits that she feels numb and misses Apu dearly. She mentions that she only eats because Kajol is the one cooking. Bipasha tries to console Anuradha, encouraging her to remain strong during this difficult time. She reflects on her own past mistakes, stating that she has learned a valuable lesson. Anuradha then suggests that Bipasha should try to reconcile with Laal, but Bipasha shakes her head, revealing that their separation is now legal and final.
As the conversation shifts, Anuradha inquires about what Bipasha plans to eat, but Bipasha replies that she only came to visit. Lalon invites Bipasha to return for a prayer ceremony the next day, to which she agrees, stating she wishes to apologize to Apu. However, she feels it is time to leave, prompting Kajol to ask her to stay a little longer, as her presence is comforting. Bipasha hesitates, explaining that the Bose family might not feel at ease with her there. Kajol reassures her, mentioning that Laal sometimes visits in the evenings. Anuradha encourages Bipasha to come by more often, and with that, Bipasha departs.
Back with Nutan, she finally drinks the ‘kada,’ prompting Bua and Kanka to exchange satisfied glances, pleased with her compliance. Just then, Rani and Pool arrive, and Rani inquires about what Nutan is drinking. Nutan explains that it’s the ‘kada’ that Bua gave her, insisting that Bua claimed everyone else had already drunk it. Pool interjects, stating that she hasn’t had anything to drink. As Nutan begins to cough, Rani turns to Pool, concerned about her well-being. Kanka watches with a smile, but Nutan suddenly faints, leaving everyone in shock.
**Precap:** Mimi confronts Aniruddh, revealing that a villager has poisoned Nutan. Parashar anxiously seeks answers from the doctor, who ominously states that she cannot provide any information at this moment.
