The episode begins with Shubhvi calling Kanti to inquire about Smita’s well-being. Kanti reassures her, stating that Smita is fine and they are on their way to the hotel. However, when Shubhvi urges him to come home, Kanti reveals the shocking news that their house has burned down. In response, Shubhvi tells him that she has worked hard to renovate part of the house, restoring it to its former glory. She insists that Smita loves her home deeply and asks Kanti to bring her back. Grateful, Kanti thanks Shubhvi for her efforts.
As Kanti and Raunak bring Smita home, emotions run high. Smita is overwhelmed with joy and relief to see the house looking good again, expressing her disbelief that it has been fixed so quickly after the fire. Shubhvi downplays her efforts, saying she merely did her duty. Payal, ever practical, suggests that Smita should take some rest, but Smita insists that she wants to be home.
Meanwhile, at the police station, Shivansh finds himself locked up. The inspector confronts him, accusing him of burning down the Zaveri house out of personal enmity. Shivansh vehemently denies the accusation, asserting that he didn’t commit the crime. The inspector, however, is unconvinced, citing CCTV footage that allegedly shows Shivansh at the scene. He rebukes Shivansh for not only attempting to burn the house but also for putting Smita’s life in danger, despite his supposed grudge being with Raunak.
In a tense exchange, Shivansh insists that he is not the culprit and refuses to engage further with someone who believes him to be guilty. Meanwhile, Raunak and Kanti arrive home with Smita, who is emotionally reunited with her family. As Smita admires the restored house, she expresses her gratitude to Shubhvi, who remains humble about her contributions.
Back at the police station, the inspector informs Raunak that Shivansh has been arrested, but he is aware that his family has arrived. Raunak explains to Smita that he must head to the police station, as Bua Maa will likely try to secure Shivansh’s release. Smita confidently states that Shivansh cannot be freed because she has filed a formal complaint against him, which Bua Maa cannot overturn.
Bua Maa arrives at the police station, demanding to see her son. The inspector informs her that she must wait for her lawyer to arrive first. Prarthna, who has been with Shivansh, asserts his innocence and recounts the events leading up to the incident, insisting that Shivansh was trapped inside a room and could not have set the house ablaze. However, the inspector remains skeptical, reminding her that Smita’s complaint constitutes an attempted murder case.
Bua Maa argues that Smita harbors hatred for Shivansh and has falsely accused him. Prarthna defends her husband’s character, expressing her desire to meet him. Bua Maa interrupts, insisting that Prarthna should stay away, before rushing off to meet Shivansh, with Tanya following closely behind. The inspector allows Prarthna to accompany them but warns her that he may not permit her to see Shivansh later.
Inside the lockup, Shivansh grows weary of the chaos around him as inmates argue. The constables intervene, and Shivansh is moved to a different cell. When Bua Maa and Tanya arrive, he inquires about Prarthna. Bua Maa informs him that Prarthna is with them, and upon seeing her, Shivansh becomes emotional. Bua Maa suspects that Shivansh may have developed feelings for Prarthna, which she finds concerning.
Prarthna approaches Shivansh, tears in her eyes. He comforts her, assuring her that his lawyer will secure his bail. Bua Maa, witnessing their connection, becomes irritated and walks away, dragging Tanya with her. Bua Maa expresses her frustration, claiming that if Shivansh does not wish to see her, she will not stay. Tanya tries to calm her down, pointing out that Shivansh seems to care more about Prarthna than his own family, which worries Bua Maa.
Meanwhile, the lawyer arrives, and Bua Maa instructs him to secure Shivansh’s release. In a surprising turn, Bua Maa makes an unexpected visit to the Zaveri mansion, where Smita is taken aback by her presence. Bua Maa confronts Smita, demanding to know why she filed a complaint against Shivansh. An argument ensues between them, with Bua Maa accusing Smita of knowing the truth about who really burned the house—implying that Raunak is responsible.
Shubhvi listens in shock as Bua Maa’s accusations escalate. Payal attempts to intervene, urging Bua Maa to stop scolding Smita, but Bua Maa dismisses her. Smita asserts that she knows how to handle Bua Maa, but their confrontation becomes increasingly heated. Bua Maa mocks Smita’s inability to manage her relationships and threatens to reveal her past, which could turn the Zaveris against her. Smita, alarmed, realizes the potential consequences of Bua Maa’s threats.
Raunak arrives just in time to intervene, demanding that Bua Maa leave. He, along with Payal, insists that she must go, but Bua Maa vows to return and shake the foundations of Smita’s life. As she departs, Smita reassures Raunak that everything is fine.
Back at the police station, Prarthna and Shivansh share a moment. He senses that she has something to say, but she denies it. Shivansh then opens up about his significant business empire, explaining that he manages it alone and is well-versed in reading people’s intentions. He thanks Prarthna for her support of Smita, reassuring her that her noble intentions were commendable.
However, the conversation takes a serious turn when the lawyer informs Shivansh that news of his arrest will damage his reputation and business. Prarthna, distressed by this revelation, cannot bear the thought of Shivansh losing everything. In a moment of desperation, she rushes to the inspector and confesses to the crime of burning the Zaveri house, hoping to protect Shivansh from the consequences of a crime he did not commit.
The episode concludes with tension hanging in the air, as Prarthna’s bold decision could change everything for Shivansh and the Zaveri family.
