Kaveri implores Arman to consider Abhira’s efforts, emphasizing that she is doing her utmost to care for their baby, Pookie, even more than he is. Arman, defensive, asserts that he knows what is best for Pookie, but Kaveri challenges his certainty. She questions how he can be so sure about the baby’s needs when he himself did not give birth to her.
Kaveri passionately supports Abhira, highlighting that while Arman is striving to become a good father, Abhira is already proving herself to be a wonderful mother. She points out the emotional toll that Arman’s mood swings are taking on Abhira, who is enduring his frustrations with grace. Kaveri reminds Arman that he has everything he could wish for and urges him to appreciate his current situation before it deteriorates. She reassures him that Pookie is not going anywhere, emphasizing Abhira’s commitment to their child. Handing the baby back to Abhira, Kaveri adds that Abhira took exceptional care of Ruhi during her pregnancy, illustrating her nurturing nature.

Meanwhile, Abhira is grappling with a fever but remains determined to prove her worth as a mother to Arman. Despite her illness, she makes a concerted effort to please him, showcasing her dedication to caring for Pookie. Eventually, Arman recognizes his harshness and apologizes to Abhira, explaining that his overprotectiveness stems from a place of deep care and concern for Pookie. In a moment of vulnerability, he confesses his love for Abhira, but she chooses to remain silent, leaving the air thick with unresolved emotions.
Later, Kaveri and Vidya notice Abhira’s deteriorating health and are alarmed to discover that she has a fever. They express disbelief that Arman failed to notice her condition, highlighting a growing rift between Abhira and Arman. Abhira, with sadness in her eyes, reflects that in Arman’s perspective, she has become a failed mother and feels as though she no longer exists in his world. Kaveri, concerned for Abhira’s well-being, suggests that sometimes it is necessary to teach a lesson, advising Abhira to consider the possibility of leaving Arman. Vidya, taken aback, questions Kaveri’s suggestion of separation, arguing that it seems extreme. Kaveri explains that separation can sometimes lead to newfound happiness, urging Vidya to stop siding with Arman and to see the bigger picture.
In a parallel storyline, the Goenka family is preparing for a celebration, but their joyous atmosphere is disrupted when Charu interrupts their family time.

Manish insists that Abhir and Charu have wronged Kiara, but Ruhi counters, pointing out that Sanjay has also wronged Abhir and Charu. She passionately pleads with Manish to understand their feelings, showcasing the generational divide in their perspectives on love and loyalty.
Meanwhile, Abhira attempts to reach out to Arman, asking him to stop arguing with her because of Pookie. As their conversation unfolds, Arman begins to see things from Abhira’s viewpoint and soon learns that she is unwell with a fever. Concerned for her health, he decides to keep Pookie away from her, fearing for the baby’s safety.
