The episode begins with Bhajan’s goons attacking Anjali, leaving her cornered and struggling. Pradeep rushes to Aarti and informs her about the assault. Without a moment’s delay, Aarti and Ved race to rescue her.
Upon reaching, Aarti and Ved bravely fight the goons and manage to free Anjali. During the chaos, Aarti falls, and one attacker charges at her with a knife. Anjali fearlessly grabs the blade with her bare hand, saving Aarti but injuring herself. Filled with rage, she overpowers the goon and defeats him.
Ved tends to Aarti’s wounds, while Anjali, bleeding, shows her hand and tearfully says, “This blood belongs to a mother — I am not an orphan.” Overwhelmed, she walks away silently.
Aarti, moved by Anjali’s sacrifice, confides in Ved that she has misunderstood her mother all along. With Anjali’s blood still on her face, she breaks down, admitting she can’t live without her mother — or Ved.
Meanwhile, Yuvraj loses his temper after finding his shirt unironed. When Mehek explains she was cooking his favorite meal, he coldly orders her to fix it.
Kavya, seeing an opportunity, burns Yuvraj’s shirt with the hot iron, smirking mischievously. When Yuvraj discovers it, he blames Mehek and tries to slap her. Mehek stops him, demanding to know why he’s turned so cruel.
Yuvraj accuses Mehek of betrayal, revealing she never trusted him the night he tried explaining Padma’s kidnapping. He hints she knows nothing about her brother Aman’s fate before storming out.
Later, as Anjali’s wound is bandaged, Mehek calls her in tears, revealing Yuvraj confessed to abducting Padma and possibly being involved in Aman’s murder. Before she can say more, Yuvraj silences her and ends the call.
Elsewhere, Ved is packing when the Rajvanshi family arrives, revealing they’ve been granted bail. Uday shocks Ved by supporting his marriage to Anjali’s daughter, showing a surprising change of heart.
Meanwhile, Raghav visits Aarti, who insists the attack was aimed at Anjali, not her. She begs him to protect her mother, defending Anjali’s love despite others’ doubts — leaving everyone questioning Aarti’s sudden transformation.
