The episode begins with Vihaan bringing Arshi and Aniruddh to his home. Arshi is taken aback when she spots Jhanak there, and Jhanak, noticing Arshi and Aniruddh, is equally surprised. Vihaan calls for Ketki, and feeling overwhelmed, Arshi storms out angrily. Aniruddh laments to himself that he should have informed Arshi sooner about the situation. Vihaan’s family is left stunned by the unfolding drama. Aniruddh follows Arshi outside, attempting to get her to listen, but she refuses. Vihaan intervenes, reminding Arshi that Aniruddh mentioned knowing Avni, cautioning her to avoid Avni if she’s uncomfortable.
Arshi confronts Aniruddh, accusing him of lying to her. Aniruddh protests, claiming he hasn’t said anything untrue. Arshi retorts that he didn’t tell her the whole truth either. Aniruddh insists he only meant to surprise her. Frustrated, Arshi questions his lack of shame, expressing that now she understands why the village is so important to him. Aniruddh urges her not to misunderstand his intentions, explaining that he brought her there to clarify things. Vihaan, confused, asks them what’s really going on. Arshi declares that she will reveal the truth to Vihaan and his family.
Aniruddh advises Arshi not to jeopardize Vihaan and his wife’s marriage, suggesting she shouldn’t stress herself in her current condition. Angered, Arshi tells him to be quiet and presses Vihaan about his first wife, then questions how he became involved with his new wife. Vihaan explains that his first wife, Avni, died in a plane crash. Arshi pushes for information about when he remarried, implying he has a weakness for certain types of women. Vihaan defends his current wife, stating she has done nothing wrong. He asks Arshi how she knows about his wife. Arshi responds cryptically, asserting his family should know her connection. Sejal, observing the tense exchange, wonders what’s happening and heads inside.
Inside, Ketki asks about Arshi’s sudden departure and questions Jhanak if her presence startled Arshi. Jhanak feigns ignorance, claiming not to know her. Ketki expresses her confusion, and Sejal joins them, revealing that Arshi was angry and shouting, mentioning something about Jhanak.
Ketki inquires about Arshi’s comments, while Jhanak continues to evade answers. Sejal notes that Arshi stated she would tell them the truth, prompting Ketki to sense something is off. She fears that the issue with Arshi might impact Priyanshi’s upcoming marriage.
Prachi asks why Priyanshi’s marriage would be affected, leading to Jhanak saying she needs to check on Ahaan. Ketki, however, insists that Jhanak cannot leave until they hear from Arshi. Ketki confronts Jhanak, questioning if she is betraying Vihaan, expressing her suspicion that Arshi knows something about Jhanak that Vihaan remains oblivious to.
**Precap:** Arshi asserts that Jhanak is not Avni and that she has never been to America.
