The tension builds as Bipasha watches Jhanak closely, waiting for the sleeping pills to take effect. She mentions Chirag’s preparations, but Jhanak reveals her plans to depart for Mumbai tomorrow – a plan Bipasha is determined to thwart. With false remorse, Bipasha brings up Anirudh’s name, but Jhanak shuts down the conversation, reminding her that Anirudh belongs to Arshi before leaving with Chirag.
Meanwhile, Arshi confronts Anirudh about his absence from home. Their exchange turns heated when she accuses him of waiting for Jhanak’s release. Mrinalini chimes in about bringing Jhanak to the Bose household, earning Shubh’s disapproval. Anirudh makes his stance clear – he won’t abandon Jhanak, regardless of where she stays.
The confrontation escalates as Arshi reminds Anirudh of their marriage vows while he maintains his responsibility toward Jhanak. Choton warns Arshi about crossing lines, referencing her past actions against Jhanak. When Mimi hints at divorce possibilities, Arshi snaps, vowing to fight for her marriage despite Anirudh’s apparent affair. The tension peaks when Choton points out the irony of Arshi calling her own sister “the other woman.”
As police arrive with news of Jhanak’s release and departure, Anirudh is devastated. Arshi smugly informs Shubh that Bipasha has everything under control. While Choton suggests returning home, Anirudh confesses his despair to Lalon – he can’t imagine life without Jhanak and fears losing her forever.
Meanwhile, Jhanak succumbs to drowsiness, her fading consciousness filled with memories of Anirudh’s promises. She awakens in an unfamiliar bar, surrounded by women who assume she’s there to work. Disoriented and confused, Jhanak refuses their demands to perform, but the establishment’s owner insists she has no choice. When Chirag supports the lie that Anirudh orchestrated this betrayal, Jhanak’s world crumbles, though she struggles to believe the deception.
Simultaneously, Lalon and Anirudh search for Jhanak, with Anirudh resolved to bring her back by any means necessary. The episode ends with Jhanak trapped in the bar, facing impossible demands while questioning everything she thought she knew about those she trusted.
