The Episode starts with Anirudh arguing with the boss. Lalon steps in, offering to take Anirudh away himself. But the boss bluntly says he knows it was Anirudh who sent Jhanak there, leaving both Anirudh and Lalon stunned. Without giving them another chance, the boss demands they leave immediately. Jhanak, cold and distant, tells Anirudh and Lalon that she doesn’t know them. Seeing no choice, Lalon tells Anirudh it’s best they go. Anirudh, holding onto hope, tells Jhanak he’ll be back for her and leaves with Choton. The boss signals to resume the music, while Jhanak, caught in a swirl of emotion, wonders if Anirudh had come just to see her dance. She suspects Bipasha sent her there on purpose, knowing it would hurt Anirudh.
Soon after, Anirudh returns—with the police. The boss, unbothered, tells the inspector that the bar operates legally and that he has a license. But Anirudh explains that Jhanak was brought there against her will. The inspector turns to Jhanak and asks if she knows Anirudh. Lalon pleads with her to speak the truth, reminding her of everything Anirudh went through to find her. He even says that if Jhanak refuses to go with them, it could destroy Anirudh. The inspector asks Jhanak about her relationship with Anirudh. With tears in her eyes, Jhanak finally says, “Anirudh is my life—he’s everything to me.”
Anirudh begs the inspector to let him take Jhanak, claiming that she belongs with him. The boss protests, but the inspector silences him. Jhanak tearfully admits she never wanted to come to this place; someone tricked her into it. Anirudh embraces her, promising she’s safe now. The inspector warns the boss not to force any girl into such situations again, and Anirudh leaves with Jhanak.
Meanwhile, Appu is deeply suspicious. She questions why Jhanak would disappear like that, certain that something strange is going on. She tells Dadi she wants to call Lalon. Dadi tries but gets no response. Appu insists they should file a missing complaint. She even accuses Arshi and Shubh of kidnapping Jhanak. Dadi cautions her that they don’t have any proof. But Appu strongly believes Bipasha is behind it. She’s determined to confront Bipasha and is about to head to the Bose house, but Dadi stops her, asking her to wait until they hear from Lalon.
Elsewhere, Bipasha informs Arshi that Anirudh has taken Jhanak from the bar. Arshi is shocked, asking where Anirudh is now. Bipasha says she doesn’t know—everything had been going according to plan, and she doesn’t understand how Anirudh managed to find Jhanak so easily. She adds that now Anirudh and Lalon are with Jhanak. Arshi, boiling with rage, says she won’t forgive either of them. Bipasha claims Jhanak is taking revenge on Arshi and will never let Anirudh return. Arshi breaks down, saying she chose Anirudh over everyone, yet he continues to chase after Jhanak. She vows to teach him a lesson.
At his friend’s place, Anirudh brings Jhanak inside. He tells her that he’s made some big decisions and wants her to know. Curious and cautious, Jhanak asks what decisions. Anirudh says he’s going to divorce Arshi. He explains that Arshi is career-focused and can find someone else, but his heart belongs to Jhanak. He calls Arshi his duty, and Jhanak his love. But Jhanak questions whether he’s ever considered what she wants. When he asks if she doesn’t want to live with him, Jhanak tells him that not all wishes come true. She says she can’t destroy someone else’s family.
Anirudh says he doesn’t want to stay with Arshi anymore and bluntly asks Jhanak who she truly loves—him or Arshi. He wants to know if she would marry him. Jhanak calmly but firmly tells him that he won’t always get what he wants. Anirudh begs her to understand that he wants to build a life with her. Jhanak, holding back tears, tells him not to leave his wife. When he again asks if she doesn’t want to be with him, she tells him to go home. Anirudh refuses to leave her. Jhanak admits she’s feeling weak inside. Her love isn’t selfish, she says. Anirudh, holding her tightly, asks why they don’t have the right to be happy together. He says he can’t live in pain any longer.
Arshi calls Anirudh, demanding to know his whereabouts. But Anirudh snaps—accusing her of sending Jhanak to the bar. Everyone in the Bose family is shocked by the accusation. Arshi tries to defend herself, but Anirudh reveals that Bipasha was behind the whole scheme. Choton tells Anirudh not to return home and lashes out at Bipasha. Bipasha, trying to defend her stance, tells Laal not to believe anything Jhanak says. Anirudh ends the call, telling Arshi she can come meet him and Jhanak if she wants.
Precap: Anirudh announces that he wants to marry Jhanak after divorcing Arshi. Later, Bipasha discovers a bottle of sleeping pills near Arshi.
