Jhanak gently tries to calm the crying baby as the episode opens. Meanwhile, Vihaan turns to Anirudh and asks him to extend his stay by just one more day. Anirudh politely refuses, explaining that he has to return to Mumbai. Vihaan understands but warmly invites him to come back sometime with his family. Curious, Anirudh wonders aloud if Vihaan plans to settle down in this place. Vihaan then shares his dream of opening a hospital there. When Anirudh brings up the topic of Vihaan’s wife and whether she works, Vihaan answers casually and avoids going too deep, saying that they follow certain rules set by Ketki and they’ll talk about it later. Anirudh points out that Vihaan’s wife might face some struggles in adjusting to that, but Vihaan assures him that she’s handling things just fine. Their conversation turns to Arshi, and Anirudh mentions that although his family has always supported her, Arshi had to take a break from work due to her pregnancy. Vihaan observes that families take time to change, but eventually they do. Before heading off, he offers to let Anirudh meet his wife, but Anirudh declines, assuming she must be busy.

Vihaan walks back to Jhanak and asks about the baby. Jhanak says Ahaan is still crying. When Anirudh joins them, Vihaan informs Jhanak that Anirudh will be leaving soon, then introduces her to him as his wife—Avni. Jhanak plays along, greets Anirudh without any sign of recognition, and keeps her composure. Vihaan excuses himself, saying he forgot his car keys. Left alone, Anirudh seizes the moment and directly asks Jhanak why she married Vihaan under a different name, and who Ahaan’s father really is. Jhanak remains firm and says the past doesn’t matter anymore. She tells him he has no right to dig into her personal life and questions why he even cares. When he asks if she ever thought about him, she says there’s no reason to—after all, he has a wife and a child now. Her voice sharpens as she warns him not to interfere in her marriage. Anirudh tries to press her again, asking if anyone knows the truth about her past. Jhanak throws the question back at him, wondering if he’s planning to expose her secret to Vihaan. Anirudh denies having any such intention.
Elsewhere, Kul Bhushan is consumed with anger and announces his decision to file a police report against Jhanak. Mittal, staying calm, tells him they’ll inform him of any new developments. But Kul Bhushan’s hatred runs deeper—he declares that only Jhanak’s death will bring him peace. His words are chilling, showing just how far his bitterness has gone. Back at the Bose house, Mimi tries to speak to Shubh about something important, but he cuts her off, saying he can’t give her what she wants. Bipasha sneers at Mimi, taunting her, which prompts Anjana to speak up. She tells Bipasha and Laal that if they’re so unhappy, they’re free to leave. Bipasha shoots back, saying Lalon won’t continue supporting Anjana forever. A tense exchange follows, and Arundhati steps in to question why Anjana is being so harsh. The atmosphere grows colder by the minute.
Anirudh, on the other hand, is growing suspicious. He begins to notice holes in Jhanak’s story—she never actually went to America, and Vihaan’s marriage happened two years ago. When he brings this up to Jhanak, she dismisses him, asking why he’s so concerned. Before he can say more, Vihaan returns and announces that Anirudh has agreed to stay a little longer. Jhanak is surprised by this sudden change. Vihaan says he convinced him, and Anirudh simply claims he’s not feeling well.
Meanwhile, Tanuja comments on how Bipasha and Laal are finally revealing their true faces. Shubh waves it off, but Mimi quietly shares that Dr. Sen is interested in marrying her. Shubh grows tense, saying marriage isn’t possible in their current financial condition. Tanuja then suggests that Laal could help, but Laal immediately refuses, saying he has no money left either. Shubh tells him not to worry—he’s not expecting anything from him and will depend on Anirudh instead. Arundhati suggests that they should focus on Choton’s marriage first. Shubh disagrees, saying people like Choton aren’t meant for marriage. Tanuja chimes in, saying a man must support his wife, something Choton might not be capable of. Anjana, deeply hurt by this, jumps in to defend her son. Mimi quietly admits she’s unsure whether Dr. Sen’s parents would accept her but agrees that Choton’s marriage should take priority.
Anirudh silently watches Ahaan. Vihaan mentions how Ahaan always calms down when he’s with Avni. Jhanak calmly replies that a mother always knows how to soothe her child. Anirudh looks at her and asks whether she means a mother or just a woman. Jhanak doesn’t flinch—she tells him he can think whatever he wants. Vihaan, sensing the tension, tries to break the mood and suggests they all go out together. But Anirudh suddenly mentions that he’s seen Vihaan’s wife before… in Kolkata. Vihaan’s face tightens with unease.
