Amruta tells Shekhar that she only informed Jahan about the situation. Shekhar responds that someone got alerted and overheard her conversation with Jahan. Virat suspects Abhiraj and is determined to expose him. Meanwhile, they see women outside trying to convince Bhavani to attend Ishika’s haldi ceremony. Bhavani refuses, feeling uncomfortable. The women argue that attending might bring blessings for Bhavani’s daughter and help her get married. Babita intervenes, telling them to stop bothering Bhavani, while Deepika insists that they just want her to join the haldi.
Babita says she won’t mind if Bhavani chooses not to participate, and Amruta hugs Bhavani, who starts to cry. Frustrated, she shoves Deepika aside, demanding to know what is happening. Virat asks if they are there to celebrate Ishika’s haldi or to embarrass Bhavani. Babita tells everyone to stop the drama, stating that Ishika claimed Bhavani wanted to be part of the ceremony. Since Bhavani appears uncomfortable, Babita feels misled. Ishika tries to calm the situation, but Bhavani expresses that she has been loyal to her relationship, yet feels embarrassed.
Amruta supports Bhavani, telling her she deserves happiness and that those around her are jealous of her bravery and happiness. She encourages them to put haldi on Bhavani. Amruta goes to apply haldi on Ishika and Jayesh, and Bhavani joins in. Virat then asks if everyone is happy, while Babita expresses shame over the situation, stating it wasn’t necessary. Virat defends Bhavani’s right to choose where she wants to be. Bebe comments that Bhavani is still wearing her mangalsutra, questioning why she hasn’t taken it off if she has moved on. Virat asserts that it’s Bhavani’s choice to wear it, and she doesn’t need anyone’s permission.
Aaji enters, surprising everyone with her presence. She supports Virat’s stance and asks everyone to raise their hands if they believe Bhavani should take off her mangalsutra. When no one responds, Aaji insists that Bhavani should remove it. Nimrit chimes in, questioning why Bhavani would wear it since Jay is her ex-husband. Aaji tells Nimrit to be quiet and continues urging Bhavani to take it off, explaining that she gave Bhavani the mangalsutra when she married Jayesh, but since he is marrying someone else, Bhavani is no longer his wife.
Bhavani, in tears, reluctantly takes off her mangalsutra. Jahan wonders if Aaji accepts Jay and Ishika. Ishika, touched by the moment, expresses her gratitude. Aaji, not done yet, tells Jay that she is pleased he realizes who his true son is. She then throws the mangalsutra at him, stating he should make Ishika wear what is left over from her daughter, implying that Ishika deserves better. Aaji declares that Bhavani is her daughter and deserves all the happiness and respect. She makes Bhavani wear the mangalsutra again, affirming that Bhavani is her strength. Aaji vows to protect her daughter from any harm and says she will sleep peacefully tonight.
Later, Bhavani offers to make tea for everyone, while Harsh acknowledges that she must be tired. Amruta expresses her understanding of Bhavani’s anger, but Bhavani insists that they should not dwell on the past. She questions how they could have informed her without risking her health, suggesting that they feared she might have a heart attack again. Bhavani states they shouldn’t talk about those people anymore.
Aaji asserts that there is always a way in life and suggests they all go to the village to start anew. Amruta responds that while she wants to, she needs to regain Jahan’s house and expose the person responsible for its loss. Aaji asks if she’s referring to herself and Virat, and Harsh questions her trust in Virat, reminding them of his past mistakes. Virat then asks if he can join, and Abhiraj appears, introducing himself and seeking Aaji’s blessings.
She retorts that he must first earn them, to which he claims he always supports Amruta and Harsh. Aaji dismisses his flattery, telling him to leave after he apologizes. Aaji then turns to Virat, asking what he intends to do about the person who took Jahan’s house. Just then, Arat arrives, causing everyone to scream and flee. Amruta runs, and Aaji instructs them to trap him, emphasizing that shouting won’t help. She sets a trap for the mouse, which she catches. Amruta realizes that they can catch the person responsible the same way and suggests they need to bait the trap. She tells Virat it’s time to act.
In another scene, Ishika is busy preparing for her wedding when Kavita warns her that she can’t meet Abhiraj. Ishika insists she needs to talk to him, but Kavita reminds her that Amruta is watching her closely. Ishika expresses her worries to Jayesh, saying Amruta is spying on her. He reassures her that he will talk to Amruta. Just then, Suman calls Ishika, urging her to check her phone. Ishika reads a news article about illegal companies being tracked down, which includes King Virat Corp. Amruta and Virat also see the news, and Virat admits he orchestrated it. Ishika reveals that setting the trap was her idea, and they both share a sense of accomplishment.Kavita tries to calm Suman, saying the notice might be a trap and advises her to stay put. Suman fears she will get arrested, but they shift their focus back to Ishika.
Virat suspects Abhiraj is behind the situation, and Suman warns Ishika that if she gets arrested, so will Ishika. Meanwhile, Babita approaches Virat’s room, and Amruta hides. Babita notes that Virat seems to have a soft spot for Jignesh’s family and encourages him to open up. When she suggests he should get married, Virat dismisses the idea, claiming there are no suitable girls. Babita asks what kind of girl he wants, and he describes his ideal: modern, open-minded, and with short hair. Amused, she approves of his choice before leaving, prompting Amruta to emerge in anger.
In the final scene, Aaji questions why Amruta trusts Virat after he broke her engagement. Harsh points out that Bhavani and Amruta both trust him, but Aaji believes they are being naive. Harsh warns her that she could also fall into his trap, but Aaji insists she doesn’t trust anyone and will fix everything. Amruta steps outside and asks the watchman if he has seen Ishika. Jay overhears and confronts her, accusing her of stalking Ishika. He tells her to stop bothering her and focuses on her wedding instead. Amruta challenges him, questioning why Ishika is so scared and pointing out the wrongs she has committed against them. Jay defends Ishika, saying no one is like her, and Amruta retorts that Ishika will never be like her mother.
Abhi is playing a game and exclaims, “Run fast, or I will get caught.” Virat questions who he’s trying to save, but Abhiraj interrupts, stating he’s just playing a game and urges them not to fight. Virat insists he’s not fighting and suggests they should act like brothers again for their mother’s sake. Abhiraj expresses his desire for them to be brothers, but Virat dismisses the idea, saying he can only pretend for their mom. He proposes a family celebration, to which Babita seems pleased, confirming that it was their joint idea. Nimrit comments on the sudden change, while Virat internally plots to trap Abhiraj.
The Ahuja family celebrates together, dancing joyfully. Babita tells Kavita that she’s happy the brothers are getting along. Amruta mentions that Suman will call the person behind the troubles. As the festivities continue, Virat discreetly keeps an eye on Abhiraj’s phone. While Abhiraj dances, his phone rings, but Kavita quickly silences it to prevent Virat from noticing. Suddenly, the lights go out, but Babita assures everyone that the party will continue.
Virat approaches Amruta, suggesting they check Abhiraj’s phone in front of everyone. Amruta hesitates, explaining that she tried to follow Ishika but was stopped by her father. She believes Ishika’s fear indicates she’s involved in the wrongdoings. Virat reveals he has Abhiraj’s phone and proposes they investigate. He manages to unlock it using Priyanka’s birthday as the password, and they discover numerous deleted messages.
Amruta wonders how they will identify the sender, but Kavita interrupts, saying Suman called Abhiraj and deleted the messages. Abhiraj claims that Virat planned everything and that he won’t be able to catch him. Aaji arrives, and Amruta greets her. Aaji shares that she took the stairs after seeing Jay and Ishika talking about their wedding, expressing disappointment in her son’s inability to be a good son. She advises Amruta to find a man who will treat her well and be like a son to Virat.
Amruta contemplates this while Virat hides. Jahan, present at the scene, states it’s not easy to find a good man, to which Amruta agrees, specifying that she doesn’t like rich businessmen as they lack time for personal relationships and can be manipulative. Jahan questions her dislike for Virat, but Amruta insists she prefers someone the opposite of him.

Amruta praises Aaji for her big heart, and Aaji hugs her, expressing a wish that in their next life, Amruta doesn’t end up with a man like Harsh, leading her to shed a tear.
