The episode opens with Aniruddh sharing with Vihaan that Arshi is excited about her upcoming trip to the village. Inquiring about Arshi’s health, Vihaan asks Aniruddh what the doctor’s feedback was. Aniruddh informs him that the doctor has cleared Arshi for travel, but he still feels anxious. Vihaan encourages Aniruddh to relax, assuring him that Arshi will be fine and that he, as a doctor, will be responsible for her wellbeing. He mentions that his wife will also help take care of Arshi. When Vihaan suggests that Jhanak speak to Aniruddh, she declines. Aniruddh asks Vihaan to avoid putting Jhanak on the spot.
Arshi then enters and playfully grabs Aniruddh’s phone, expressing her eagerness to meet Vihaan’s family in the village. Vihaan reassures her that she is welcome to visit. Arshi is also eager to meet Vihaan’s wife. Aniruddh retrieves his phone and asks Vihaan about the date for Priyanshi’s wedding before ending the call.
Arshi questions Aniruddh if he truly wants her to miss out on the village trip. He admits he’s worried about her and the baby’s health, explaining that he has a surprise planned for her in Vihaan’s village. Curious, she presses him for details, but he playfully insists that he can’t reveal it.
Meanwhile, Jhanak asks Vihaan whether Aniruddh and Arshi will be attending the trip. Vihaan confirms their plans but learns Jhanak feels uneasy speaking to someone she hasn’t met before. Curious, Vihaan begins to wonder what Jhanak is hiding from him and notes that he’s never encountered anyone quite like her.
Choton interrupts to inform Aniruddh that his wedding date has been finalized, although Aniruddh is preparing to leave. Choton mentions he is surprised Aniruddh is bringing Arshi along to the village. Aniruddh reassures him that Arshi is doing well. Choton urges Aniruddh not to spend too much money on his wedding, but Aniruddh dismisses his concerns. Choton expresses his hope for Jhanak to attend his wedding, to which Aniruddh insists that Jhanak is fine. Arshi, noticing their conversation, wonders what they were discussing regarding Jhanak.
Jhanak questions Vihaan if he harbors any doubts about her past. Vihaan, puzzled, asks why she would think that. She affirms she is a good person and assures him she wouldn’t wrong him, especially since he has been so helpful. Vihaan probes into why she’s bringing this up now, and Jhanak responds that she will eventually have to leave and that he has his own life to lead. Vihaan expresses that she has changed his life for the better, to which Jhanak replies she is well now because of him, asking what exactly he wants from her.
**Precap:** Jhanak instructs Pulkit to take Priyanshi to the interschool competition. Priyanshi tells Jhanak that she is fulfilling her dreams, while Prachi reminds everyone that they have made many sacrifices for Priyanshi’s ambitions, which Priyanshi will come to realize today.
