The episode begins with Bhavya stirring awake, her senses alerted by a persistent knocking sound. As she rubs the sleep from her eyes, she quickly realizes that Rishank is not beside her. In the meantime, Rishank is in the bathroom, unaware of the commotion outside. Bhavya, curious and slightly anxious, gets out of bed and opens the door, only to find her aunt standing there. Her aunt, with a knowing smile, offers some unsolicited advice, which only serves to upset Bhavya further.
Just then, Rishank emerges from the bathroom, clad in Bhavya’s bathrobe, which creates an awkward moment for both of them. Bhavya feels a rush of embarrassment at the sight, while her aunt seizes the opportunity to tease the couple, making light-hearted remarks before taking her leave. Once they are alone again, Bhavya laughs at Rishank, playfully telling him that she will have to get used to seeing him without a shirt. Rishank, however, stops her from leaving and expresses his happiness that his friend is back, allowing him to laugh freely once more. Bhavya smiles at his words, feeling a warmth in their relationship.
Meanwhile, at the Jaishwal household, Dayamanti is concocting a devious plan to ensnare Bhavya. She decides to open a bank account in Bhavya’s name, intending to use it for her own schemes. Akshay, curious about the timing of this plan, questions Dayamanti about why she didn’t think of it sooner. She responds cryptically, indicating that everything has its time, and a sly smirk crosses her face as she contemplates the potential fallout.
Later, Bhavya and Rishank return home, their spirits high. Upon entering, they find Rhea sitting with the family. Rhea immediately rushes to hug Rishank, catching Bhavya off guard and leaving her visibly shocked. Confused, Bhavya confronts Rhea about her intentions. Shakshi, sensing the tension, informs Rishank about Rhea’s troubling behavior, specifically mentioning an incident where Rhea attempted to harm herself. Rishank is taken aback by this revelation. Bhavya, however, firmly warns Rishank and the family that Rhea is not to be trusted, recalling how Rhea faked her pregnancy report.
In an attempt to prove her sincerity, Rhea shows them her real injury, prompting Bhavya to apologize for her earlier accusations. Despite this, Bhavya advises Rhea to move on with her life. Rhea, however, recalls Dayamanti’s earlier counsel to injure herself as a way to win Rishank back. Shakshi suggests that they allow Rhea to stay at their house, but Bhavya adamantly refuses, believing it won’t aid Rhea in her healing process. She urges Rishank to speak up, but before he can respond, Rhea suddenly feels dizzy. Rishank quickly helps her to a couch, while Shakshi insists that Bhavya should agree to let Rhea stay for Rishank’s sake. This situation leaves Bhavya feeling frustrated and upset.
Later, Rishank takes a moment to tell Rhea that everyone needs a friend like Bhavya, who supports them at every step. He reassures Rhea of his love for her but makes it clear that he will never love her the way she desires. Meanwhile, Bhavya, under pressure from Rishank’s sisters, reluctantly enters Rhea’s room. Seizing this opportunity, Akshay and Dayamanti sneak into Bhavya’s room to steal her documents, planning to open a bank account in her name without her consent.
At the same time, Shakshi encourages Bhavya to serve food to Rhea, but Rishank arrives and takes the food instead. Bhavya follows him, but Rhea, noticing her, begins to insult her. Rishank, oblivious to Bhavya’s presence, remains silent as Bhavya confronts Rhea, expressing her pity for her before walking away.
Dayamanti, realizing that Akshay is still in Bhavya’s room, distracts Bhavya with taunts, allowing Akshay to slip out unnoticed. After some time, Rishank returns to his room, hoping to talk to Bhavya, but she ignores him. She questions his behavior around Rhea, expressing her confusion and hurt. In a moment of vulnerability, she hugs Rishank, leaving him looking contemplative.
Meanwhile, Dayamanti and Akshay celebrate their success upon learning that the bank account in Bhavya’s name has been successfully opened. They revel in the thought of Bhavya’s impending downfall. The following day, Akshay seeks Shakshi’s signature for the bank documents. When he approaches Bhavya for her signature, Dayamanti distracts her by engaging her in conversation with Rhea. Bhavya innocently signs the papers, unaware of the trap being laid.
Just then, Rishank walks in with Rhea’s parents and advises Rhea to return to her family for her emotional health, emphasizing that he is a married man now. Rhea, feeling threatened, threatens to harm herself, causing Rishank to hesitate. However, he quickly regains his composure and firmly declares that Bhavya is his wife, ultimately throwing Rhea out of the house. This shocking move astonishes both Shakshi and Dayamanti. As Rishank stands his ground, Bhavya feels her heart race, leading her to question her own feelings.
**Precap:** In a tense moment, someone overhears Dayamanti discussing her plans involving a saree consignment. Meanwhile, Rishank finds himself facing Shakshi’s probing questions. He tells her that he does not love Bhavya, just as Bhavya enters the room, leaving Shakshi smirking at the unfolding drama.
