The exchange turns tense, and Lalon reminds Arshi that Appu is not a nobody—she owns half the house too. Anirudh steps in and tells Arshi she needs to accept the reality, then turns to Appu and asks her to pray for Jhanak’s safety. He admires Appu’s selfless love and encourages her hope. Appu, still distressed, urges Anirudh to find out where Jhanak is. Arshi bitterly dares her to ask Lalon if she really wants answers. In another corner of the house, Bipasha expresses irritation at how Appu constantly brings up Jhanak, knowing it only fuels drama. Anirudh defends Appu, stating that those who genuinely love Jhanak still live under that roof. Arshi, still simmering, confronts him, but he calmly explains that he’s been focused on his responsibilities—his wife, child, and career—and now all he asks from her is a little trust. Anjana tries to steer the conversation to Arshi’s upcoming baby shower, but the atmosphere remains tense and unresolved.
Meanwhile, Lalon comforts Appu by telling her not to worry—nothing bad will happen to Jhanak. He reminds her that she’s scheduled to sing at an important event the next day, hoping this will lift her spirits. Just then, Choton arrives home, injured. His sudden appearance causes concern, but he brushes it off as a minor accident. Choton shares his heartfelt desire that Jhanak attend his wedding. He says if he can locate her, he will personally invite her. His words strike a chord with everyone. Even Shubh, who has long harbored resentment toward Jhanak, expresses deep remorse for the way he treated her. He says he wants to change—not just for himself, but for his children. Anirudh encourages this shift in perspective, urging Shubh to live a life of integrity and become someone his children can look up to. The moment grows emotional as Shubh pulls Bablu and Choton into a warm embrace.
Back at the new house, the lady hands Jhanak a beautiful saree and elegant jewelry, instructing her to get dressed for an interview. Jhanak is confused and questions why such a fancy appearance is necessary. The man responds, saying first impressions are everything and looking presentable matters. Jhanak then asks if she can get an advance on her salary, but the man tells her to wait a few days. He and his wife shower her with compliments, though the man warns her not to overthink things or become suspicious. Behind Jhanak’s back, he secretly makes a call to another woman, assuring her that this time, Jhanak is exactly the kind of girl they’ve been searching for. He mentions Jhanak’s education and warns the woman to be careful with her. When Jhanak finally steps out in her saree, the woman comments that Jhanak seems to ask a lot of questions. The couple gets ready to send Jhanak off, and just before she leaves, the man tells her to obey instructions and eat if she’s told to. As they lead her out the door, the episode comes to a quiet but unsettling close.
Dadu takes Jhanak to a place she has never seen before. As they make their way through the unfamiliar surroundings, Jhanak notices how odd the people around her seem. They finally reach a house, and as soon as they step inside, Maasi scolds Dadu for arriving late. Dadu explains that he has brought Jhanak to teach Maasi’s girls. Curious, Jhanak asks about the students, and Maasi casually says there are many. She also adds that Jhanak will need to study as well. Jhanak looks puzzled, but Dadu laughs it off and tells her Maasi is only joking. Maasi warmly invites Jhanak to eat, compliments her looks, and says she will introduce her to the students later.
Meanwhile, Bipasha and Laal spot Lalon standing outside their room with a group of men. Laal questions him, and Lalon calmly reminds him that it’s his own house and he has the right to do whatever he wants. He tells his men to leave and explains that he’s having the house renovated. Laal doesn’t take it well and accuses Lalon of crossing limits. Just then, Tanuja and Arshi arrive. Bipasha immediately turns to Tanuja, asking if she knew about this. Tanuja admits she did but didn’t feel the need to inform Bipasha. Lalon supports Tanuja’s statement, saying both she and Shubhankar were aware, and neither objected. Before walking away, he warns everyone that if anyone tries to challenge him, they’ll have to leave the house.
Bipasha feels let down by Tanuja and confronts her about it. But Tanuja brushes it off, saying she needs to take Arshi for a walk. Arshi suddenly feels lightheaded, and Tanuja quickly helps her sit down, scolding Bipasha in the process. Bipasha, upset, accuses Tanuja of changing under Arshi’s influence and even claims that Arshi is faking her condition. Arshi doesn’t hold back either and calls out Bipasha’s behavior, saying her true nature has always been clear. Bipasha tries to defend herself, insisting she has always supported Arshi, but Arshi challenges her by asking what she actually did to help her.
Laal shifts the blame to Arshi, saying their fallout with Jhanak started because of her. Bipasha, unexpectedly, admits that she’s starting to think Jhanak may not have been wrong after all. Arshi defends herself, saying she never encouraged anyone to turn against Jhanak. Laal now openly sides with Jhanak, while Bipasha firmly says they all need to start thinking about themselves and stop relying on anyone else. Her words leave both Laal and Arshi deep in thought. Hurt but determined, Arshi decides she will prove she’s better than Jhanak. Back at Maasi’s house, she tells Jhanak that her teaching hours will be at night. Jhanak, hesitant, says she prefers teaching in the morning, but Maasi says she’s free to choose. Dadu tells Jhanak it’s time for him to leave. Jhanak requests that he come pick her up in the evening. He encourages her to work hard and leaves.
Elsewhere, a group of goons reports back to Kul Bhushan about Jhanak’s whereabouts. But instead of being pleased, he becomes furious and pulls out a gun, threatening them for failing to bring her to him. They plead for another chance and promise they won’t let him down again. After scaring them off, Kul Bhushan calls Tejas and orders him to ensure Jhanak is delivered to him immediately. Arshi, still burning with suspicion, calls Vinayak to ask about Jhanak’s connection to Srishti. Vinayak doesn’t hide the truth—he confirms that all the accusations against Srishti are real. Arshi then informs him about Jhanak meeting Vihaan and tells him everything she saw. Vinayak gets angry at her interference and warns her that there’s a court hearing coming up, and she should stop meddling.
At the house, Maasi finally introduces Jhanak to the group of girls she’ll be teaching. But when the girls start giggling and exchanging glances, Jhanak begins to question whether she made a mistake by trusting Maasi and coming here.
