The episode commences with Dadi expressing her anger towards Armaan and Abhira. Abhira insists that Armaan must partake in the puja in her stead. Despite Armaan’s intervention, Dadi raises her voice and instructs Sanjay and Kajal to conduct the puja. While Sanjay and Kajal perform the rituals, Abhira takes Armaan aside. Although Abhira suggests they can still observe the puja from a distance, Armaan points out that Dadi has set a boundary to keep them away. Unfazed, Abhira and Armaan pray for Rohit’s return.
Krish and others encourage Aryan to attend a hockey match, but he declines. Abhira discusses Rohit’s situation with Madhav, who conveys the lack of leads in the search. Aryan’s hockey match approaches, and Armaan is reluctant to participate due to Dadi’s displeasure. Abhira urges Armaan to take responsibility for Aryan, emphasizing the need for him to step into Rohit’s shoes. She shares an inspiring story about Akshu and pledges her support. Reluctantly, Armaan agrees, and they plan to meet in the parking lot in ten minutes.
Krish advises Armaan to attend the match, and Armaan encourages Aryan to play in Rohit’s absence. Aryan hesitates, expressing concern about Rohit not returning. Armaan consoles him, and Aryan agrees to play, deciding not to inform Dadi to avoid further distress. Abhira persuades Ruhi to join them at the match, and they depart. Dadi learns about their departure and expresses concern about Abhira driving. The group, including Armaan and Ruhi, reminisces about Rohit while en route to the match venue.
At the match venue, Aryan realizes he lost his hockey stick, a gift from Rohit. Armaan suggests using a spare one, but Aryan insists on having that specific stick. Abhira attaches Rohit’s photo to a new hockey stick, assuring Aryan that he will be playing with Rohit that day. Dadi arrives, witnesses the gesture, and ties a red thread to the hockey stick, expressing her support for Aryan. She emphasizes that Rohit’s presence will double Aryan’s strength, and they share a heartwarming moment.
