The episode begins with Arshi telling the Bose family that she has something important to say. Tanuja asks her to rest first, but Arshi insists—she can’t wait any longer. She shocks everyone by saying she no longer wants to stay in that house. She says she married Anirudh, but he’s never around. Shubh tries to calm her down and promises to talk to Anirudh, but Arshi is firm—she says nothing will fix the situation now. Mrinalini then asks her where she plans to go. Arshi says she can’t go back to her parents’ house either. That’s when Mimi, always dramatic, hints if she’s going to Siddharth’s place. Anjana tells Mimi to stop talking.
But Mimi continues. She says she saw Arshi holding Siddharth’s hand. Arshi gets angry and calls Mimi a liar. Mimi defends herself and says she even has proof—she shows a photo she secretly took of Arshi and Siddharth having dinner at a restaurant. Arshi gets furious and accuses Mimi of spying. Mimi says she wasn’t spying—she just happened to be there and saw them.
Arshi breaks down in anger and says Anirudh can spend a night with Jhanak, but she can’t even have dinner with a friend without being judged. Shubh tries to talk some sense into her, but Arshi refuses to listen, saying he’ll never understand how she feels. Tanuja pleads with her not to leave, but Arshi says she no longer feels any bond with the Bose family. Dadi sadly asks if that means they’ve become strangers to her now. Anjana gently reminds Arshi that she is still loved deeply in this house. Bipasha, with a sharp tongue, says not every husband is like Bablu who listens to his wife. Anjana replies that relationships need respect—something Bipasha wouldn’t understand.
Meanwhile, Vinayak tells Shrishti that Siddharth behaved badly at the hospital in front of the Bose family. Shrishti says she doesn’t want Arshi to be with Anirudh anymore. She believes Siddharth is a better person and thinks he should marry Arshi. Vinayak asks if she has a plan, but Shrishti says she doesn’t—she just wants Arshi to decide for herself. She wonders why Arshi should continue living in the Bose house. Vinayak quietly walks away.
The next day, Siddharth meets Arshi and asks how she’s doing. She says she’s fine. He wants to know why she made such a big decision. Arshi reminds him that she’s still married to Anirudh, but Anirudh insulted her in front of Jhanak. Siddharth tells her she can trust him. She says she already does. He stops the car and confesses that he loves her. He asks if hearing that made her uncomfortable. Arshi says no. Siddharth tells her his life feels incomplete without her. Arshi says she wants to divorce Anirudh first. Siddharth says the divorce might take six months and asks if she’ll stay with him until then.
Arshi agrees to leave Anirudh, but she adds that she won’t go quietly—she wants both Anirudh and Jhanak to feel the pain of it. Siddharth tells her to look ahead and promises they’ll get married soon. Arshi wonders how his family will react. Siddharth assures her he’ll handle them. He says she can stay with him until the divorce is done. He hugs her. Anirudh sees them hugging from a distance. Siddharth tells Arshi he wants to give her everything and asks her to come inside the restaurant. Anirudh watches from outside and thinks to himself—if Arshi has someone else already, why is she still upset about his happiness?
Later, Anirudh hugs Jhanak from behind. She tells him to stop, but he says he knows she was waiting for him and gives her a glass of healthy juice. He insists she drinks some too. He tells her that no one has ever cared for him like she does. He suggests hiring help since she’s handling everything alone. Then he says they should get married. Jhanak is stunned.
Anirudh tells her they’re in love, and marriage will make their relationship official in society’s eyes. Jhanak reminds him that he’s still married to Arshi. Anirudh says he saw Arshi with Siddharth again and is sure she has moved on. Jhanak still believes Arshi might love him deep down. But Anirudh says he’s certain Arshi is done with him. He tells Jhanak he’s not going to leave her. As Jhanak gets up to bring food, Anirudh asks if she’s truly happy with him. Jhanak says she’s scared of what the future holds. Anirudh assures her that this time, their marriage will be real. He promises to stay by her side always. He adds that Siddharth will keep Arshi happy, and Jhanak will make him happy. He kisses her forehead. Jhanak hugs him tightly.
