The episode begins with Dadi informing Vidya about the party, and Vidya starts preparing. Manisha accuses Dadi of lying to Vidya, but Dadi defends herself, stating that she can’t reveal the truth. Kajal sends Ruhi to fetch Madhav, and Dadi realizes someone is missing, which turns out to be Abhira. Vidya, noticing Madhav’s uniform, questions him about skipping duty, and he reveals that he took a two-day leave. Vidya expresses concern, thinking that SSP might be jealous, but Madhav denies it. The conversation leads to Abhir’s junior being unwell, and Madhav gifts Vidya Mogra flowers for their wedding anniversary, causing Vidya to break into tears.
Meanwhile, Suwarna reminisces about the past, but Abhir’s cough interrupts the conversation. The family worries about Abhir’s health, and Manish offers assistance, suggesting a surgery. Abhir reveals his financial constraints, but Manish provides a credit card with a 50 lakh limit, allowing Abhir to consider the surgery. Abhira, in the meantime, directs Madhav away from the surprise party, leading to a confrontation with Ruhi.

Vidya and Madhav eventually join the gathering, but Abhira’s revelation about the surprise plan causes tension. Ruhi and Abhira argue, and Armaan intervenes. Vidya is caught in the middle but decides to leave, expressing her belief that happiness is meant to be celebrated with family. Abhira pleads with her to stay and celebrate Madhav’s rare day off. Vidya, feeling trapped, departs, and the gajra falls symbolically on the stairs, leaving Madhav disheartened.
Meanwhile, Manish receives a call that exposes Abhir’s true intentions, and he realizes that the person with them wasn’t Abhir. Suwarna questions Manish, who is shocked and uncertain about the situation. Abhira, distressed, vents to Udaipur about her predicament, declaring her marriage with Armaan as a one-year compromise.
