Meanwhile, family conflicts escalate as Pakhi pushes for Ishani’s marriage against opposition. Prem settles into his new home, but tensions rise with Vasundhara’s desperate plea for his return. Drama unfolds as secrets, emotions, and dilemmas take center stage.
The episode begins with Kartik introducing Anupamaa and Rahi as dance instructors to a group of prisoners, firmly instructing them not to misbehave. Anupamaa decides to start with basic dance movements, encouraging the inmates to dance in the style of Lord Krishna. Meanwhile, Rahi initially intends to stay on the sidelines, but Anupamaa urges her to remain nearby. As the lesson progresses, Raghav starts playing the mouth organ, unsettling Anupamaa. Keeping an eye on Rahi, Anupamaa notices her praising Raghav’s musical skills and encouraging him to participate in the dance. However, Raghav’s intense gaze suddenly shifts, and he abruptly pulls Rahi close, leaving her alarmed.
Anupamaa rushes to intervene, only for Raghav to insist that he was merely saving Rahi’s life. A constable corroborates his statement, easing the tension. Meanwhile, Kartik assigns his men to repair a wire. Feeling guilty for misjudging Raghav, Anupamaa still warns Rahi to be cautious around him. Later, Rahi uncovers that Raghav is imprisoned for murdering his wife and pleads with Anupamaa to stay away from him.
At home, Leela confronts Pakhi about her insistence on marrying Ishani to Raja, arguing that the Kotharis hold outdated views. Kinjal reminds Pakhi that Anupamaa is handling the situation, but Pakhi remains adamant, accusing the family of disregarding her happiness. Despite Kinjal’s warnings that the Kotharis will never accept Ishani, Pakhi refuses to reconsider her stance.
Elsewhere, Prem settles into his new home with the help of Ishani, Pari, Ansh, Badshah, Prarthana, and Raja. Prarthana attempts to mend her strained relationship with Prem, but he remains distant. She apologizes to both Prem and Ansh. When Prem discovers that Badshah, Raja, and Prarthana deceived Vasundhara to see him, he disapproves, emphasizing that lying to elders is wrong. However, Badshah argues that elders, too, can be dishonest at times. Meanwhile, Anupamaa discusses the prison program with Kartik, who warns her against developing sympathy for Raghav, cautioning that it could lead to trouble.
In Prem’s new home, he immerses himself in decorating the space while Ishani confides in Raja about her deep feelings for him. Raja reassures her that he will speak to his family and marry her, but Ishani remains torn due to Pakhi’s interference. Meanwhile, Gautam urges Vasundhara to let go of her hopes for Prem’s return, while Khyati blames Vasundhara for his departure. Heartbroken, Vasundhara begs Parag to bring Prem back, claiming she cannot live without him. Despite Khyati’s assertion that forcing Prem’s return would be futile, Parag is determined to take action.
Rahi enjoys spending time with Prem, Ishani, Badshah, Raja, Pari, and Ansh, but Mahi grows envious upon seeing Prem’s closeness with Rahi. Meanwhile, Parag confronts Khyati about her silence, but she maintains that some situations call for silence, while Parag remains resolute in his efforts to bring Prem home.
