The Episode starts with Abhira questioning the inspector about Pookie, refusing to take a sip of water until she gets answers. The inspector finally hands her Pookie’s chain, and just one look at it shatters her. Tears brim in her eyes as she clutches the chain, heartbroken. The inspector explains that the thief had handed Pookie over to someone else. That’s it — Abhira’s patience wears thin. She wants to confront the culprit, but the inspector urges her to calm down and not take matters into her own hands.
At the same time, Kaveri and Vidya struggle to hold their nerves while presenting to the judges. Ayushman loses his cool and scolds them for wasting his time. He coldly tells them to leave, reminding them that other promising candidates are waiting. Kaveri and Vidya walk away, disheartened and embarrassed.
But Abhira isn’t backing down. Her resolve only grows stronger — she’ll bring Pookie back no matter what. Whoever dared to separate her from her daughter will pay. She vows not to forgive the person who tore their bond apart.
Somewhere else, Armaan is restless. He’s baffled that Maira chose to confide in Geetanjali instead of him. Maira apologizes for not coming to him first and reveals she had accidentally broken her teacher’s scooter mirror, which is why she skipped school. Armaan gently asks why she didn’t tell him. Maira simply says she doesn’t know why she opened up to Geetanjali. Dadu steps in with some hard truths — Armaan can’t always be Maira’s everything. As she grows up, she’ll need a mother. He reminds Armaan of what Kaveri once said: being a father isn’t enough; a child needs a mother too.
Later, Vidya and Kaveri check in with Abhira about Pookie. She’s still shaken but refuses to give up. She also finds out that Kaveri and Vidya couldn’t close the deal they were working on. Determined to turn things around, Abhira meets Ayushman and wins him over with her sharp presentation.
The trio — Abhira, Kaveri, and Vidya — plan to attend Krish’s engagement. Kaveri expresses her wish to wear a designer sari, which rubs both Abhira and Vidya the wrong way. Still, Abhira insists they all go together. Vidya receives a letter and decides to hand it over to Abhira later.
Abhira picks out matching purple-themed saris for Kaveri and Vidya. When Kaveri realizes Abhira doesn’t have one for herself, she questions her. Abhira, brushing it off, says she’ll wear black instead. Kaveri quietly feels guilty.
Precap:
Krish crosses a line and misbehaves with Kaveri. Abhira steps in, warning him not to make her forget the reason they even came to the function. Krish explodes, accusing Abhira of being a failure in every role — as a mother, wife, and businesswoman. That’s when Kaveri, unable to take it anymore, slaps Krish. Abhira stands there, stunned.
