The episode begins with Madhav revealing the truth about his past—he was deceived into believing Shivani had died, which led him to marry Vidya. It was only after their marriage that he discovered Armaan and brought him back. Armaan, too, had been under the impression that Shivani was no longer alive. Vidya is devastated by the revelation and fears that Madhav might leave her for Shivani, leading her to place the blame on Shivani.
Shivani tries to console Vidya, but Kaveri intervenes, warning her to stay away and accusing her of tearing the family apart. Abhira comes to Shivani’s defense and nearly exposes Kaveri’s true intentions but chooses to divert the conversation instead. Meanwhile, Sanjay and Kajal insist that Vidya remains Madhav’s rightful wife, while others argue that Shivani’s circumstances should also be considered. The situation intensifies when Rohit blames Shivani for Vidya’s suffering, sparking a heated confrontation with Armaan.
In an attempt to de-escalate the situation, Armaan instructs Abhira to take Shivani to the guestroom, which enrages Kaveri. He then makes a bold statement, declaring that he cannot choose between Vidya and Shivani. Amidst the rising tensions, Kiara’s planned performance following the wedding rituals gets disrupted. Abhira continues to stand by Shivani against Vidya’s accusations.
The biggest shock comes when Armaan announces that he is canceling his divorce with Abhira, leaving Kaveri anxious about the repercussions. Later, Abhira discovers that Armaan had secretly kept her belongings safe all along. This leads to an emotional moment between them, where they finally confess their love for each other.
