The episode begins with Gayatri informing Arjun that her son’s birthday is tomorrow and that Katha has invited her to the celebration. Arjun is taken aback by this news but insists on accompanying her to the birthday party. He then requests Gayatri to ensure that Katha does not inform UV about their plans. Gayatri responds by telling him that Katha would never do something like that.
After their conversation, Gayatri calls Katha to let her know that her brother Arjun will be joining her for the party. She also mentions that Arjun is unaware that both her son and her husband are alive, which confuses Katha. However, Katha reassures Gayatri that she will keep this information from UV. Excitedly, Gayatri shares her plans for organizing her son’s birthday and then heads inside.
Supriya later approaches Arjun and asks him if he is truly going to take Gayatri to the Jindal house. Arjun confirms his intention and explains to Supriya that he plans to show UV what he wants him to see, rather than what Katha wishes to reveal about Gayatri. He smirks, indicating that he has a plan in mind.
The following day, Naina visits the kitchen to find Katha preparing tea for UV. Curious, Naina asks Katha when UV started drinking tea, as he used to prefer coffee. Katha smiles and explains that sometimes UV enjoys tea as well. Naina playfully teases Katha, suggesting that UV only drinks tea made by her. Katha tells her to be quiet and then addresses Naina’s question about why she is wearing a yellow saree, a color she does not particularly like. Katha explains that yellow is UV’s favorite color, which makes Naina smile.
Katha then asks Naina for advice on how to wish UV a happy birthday. Naina suggests that she simply say, “I love you.” Katha playfully tells her to stop teasing. She expresses her desire to wish UV in a way that reflects his own heartfelt manner. Katha admires how UV openly shares his emotions and mentions his strong support for his mother and Pari. Naina reminds her that UV has also taken a stand for Katha, prompting Katha to scold Naina for not being more helpful before leaving.
As Katha moves through the house, she notices UV sleeping and attempts to adjust his position to make him more comfortable. However, she accidentally falls onto him, waking UV up. They share a playful exchange, and UV thanks her while also apologizing before leaving the room. Katha scolds herself for missing the opportunity to wish UV a happy birthday.
Meanwhile, Gayatri is getting ready to meet UV when Arjun arrives. He informs her that she will go with him and say what he wants her to say, leaving Gayatri shocked by his words.
Later, UV’s cousins engage in a discussion about UV’s decision to celebrate his birthday. Pratty warns them that UV might change his mind at any moment. Katha, overhearing this, reassures herself that UV will not back out. She excitedly tells Naina that she has already decorated UV’s café for the celebration and feels hopeful about the reunion between UV and Sheetal. Meanwhile, Shlok and Charu express their concern, hoping that the information they have about Sheetal is not true.
Katha then unexpectedly bumps into UV and wishes him a happy birthday. She notices that he seems restless and questions him about it. Before he can respond, Ash interrupts their conversation. UV mentions that he has invited a special guest, leaving Katha curious about who it could be. She thinks to herself that UV is about to receive the best surprise of his life when he finally meets his mother.
UV later calls Arjun, who informs him that Gayatri is busy in a meeting. Arjun then invites UV to his place, and UV agrees to come over. Upon his arrival, UV is shocked to find Gayatri giving an interview to the media. She discusses her decision to change her identity and prioritize her career over her family, completely unaware that Arjun has coerced her into making such statements. UV’s heart sinks as he hears Gayatri’s words, and he questions her, but Gayatri looks at him as if she does not recognize him. Arjun watches the scene unfold with a smirk on his face.
In the precap, UV finds himself in a dangerous situation as he is beaten up by goons. Katha is left in shock upon seeing his condition and vows to save him. Later, in the hospital, Katha takes a moment to express her feelings to an unconscious UV, revealing her deep emotions as she hopes for his recovery.
