The episode begins with the driver informing that the resort is nearby. Sarita worries it might be too expensive and suggests finding a cheaper place instead. Meanwhile, Devika tells Anupama that as long as her heart remains tied to the Shah family, she will never find peace in Mumbai. She snatches Anupama’s phone and switches it off. When Anupama questions her, Devika calmly says she isn’t a doctor or God, urging her to relax.
At the Shah house, Pakhi panics about Ishani. The family rushes to check, and Leela asks Paritosh to open the door. They are shocked to find Ishani unconscious. Horrified, Pakhi screams, blaming herself, while Kinjal quickly calls Rahi and Ansh for help.
Back in Mumbai, Anupama grows increasingly restless. Preet asks Devika what’s wrong with her. Devika replies that a mother’s instincts never fail and that Anupama can’t stay calm while her family is in trouble. Just then, Devika receives Kinjal’s call and learns about Ishani’s critical condition.

At the hospital, the doctor struggles as Ishani’s condition worsens. A nurse almost drops the injection, but Anupama arrives just in time and saves the situation. Leela tearfully thanks her for returning. Pakhi and Pari both blame themselves and cling to Anupama in guilt.
Elsewhere, Mahi proposes marriage to Gautam, promising to help him gain custody of his baby. She dreams of a perfect family, but Gautam is stunned by her sudden confession.
Later, Leela asks Anupama to stay. Anupama agrees, saying she’ll remain until things stabilize. She asks everyone else to go home while Kinjal and Paritosh comfort a guilt-ridden Pari.
At the Kothari mansion, Mahi tells her parents that Gautam arranged the meeting with the German client. Vasundhara praises him, but when Mahi criticizes Ansh, Prarthana defends him and warns Mahi to stop supporting Gautam blindly.
In the end, Rahi invites Ansh to stay and celebrate Bhai Dooj. Anupama also tries to stop him, but Ansh vents his frustration, saying he’s tired of carrying everyone’s burdens. Heartbroken, Anupama prays to God, asking why He never lets her move forward in life.
