The episode begins with Armaan apologizing, acknowledging everyone’s worry over Abhira. He becomes emotional, enters a room, and discovers a wooden tortoise. In a fit of anger, he hurls it at a mirror, shattering it.
Calling out for Abhira, he expresses his frustration. Meanwhile, Abhira, feeling torn, explains to herself that she must fulfill her mother’s dream of helping homeless people, despite the challenges. Spotting her name on a bench, she walks away, as the song “Yeh Rishta” plays in the background.
In the morning, Ruhi performs Dadi’s aarti, expressing faith in truth prevailing. Vidya praises Dadi, urging her to return home soon. She feeds Dadi curd and sugar, symbolizing victory.
Vidya emphasizes their need for Dadi, not the keys. Manisha echoes this sentiment, expressing their dependence on Dadi. Kajal shares optimism about Armaan winning the case. Dadi embraces the children, feeling reassured.
At the court, Armaan supports Dadi as someone accuses her of causing homelessness. Sanjay intervenes, and Armaan handles the situation. Dev and his assistant discuss a contract, with Dev puzzled over papers found in his cabin. Vidya tends to Dadi’s wound, inflicted by a stone.
Armaan confronts Dev, suspecting him of involvement with Abhira’s disappearance. As the judge enters, Dev accuses Kaveri of the homelessness crisis, aiming to call her to the witness box. Armaan remains confident in the truth’s power.
Abhira arrives, halting the proceedings. Identifying herself as Dev’s junior, she presents crucial evidence: a video showing Dadi instructing the builder to delay evictions until new homes are built for the affected people. The video further reveals the builder bribing Rakesh Singh to set fire to the locality.
Abhira confronts Rakesh, leading to his confession and the revelation of the true culprit, Ajit. The court orders Ajit’s arrest, exonerating Dadi. Applauded by all, Dadi is allowed to return home. Armaan embraces her, and Dev praises Abhira for seeking truth over victory. Abhira apologizes to Dadi for her doubts, acknowledging her misjudgment. Dadi leaves with dignity.
