Ritual's Completion and Paper Search
The episode commences with Madhav instructing Abhira, Armaan, and Ruhi to perform the traditional coin-placing ritual. As they successfully complete it, Manisha acknowledges their observance of customs.
Meanwhile, Kaveri's determination to obtain Abhira and Armaan's signed divorce papers shocks Ruhi. Abhira confides in Manisha her apprehension of facing Kaveri's ire, but Manisha assures her of her steadfast opposition to their separation. However, Abhira remains unconvinced, citing the ongoing proceedings. Manisha jokingly reprimands her, emphasizing her similar treatment of Aryan when he deceives her. Despite Abhira's confidence in Armaan's willingness to sign the papers, Manisha expresses concern over his susceptibility to Kaveri's manipulation.
Ruhi inquires about Armaan's signature status, to which he responds with an excuse about a malfunctioning pen. Ruhi firmly reminds him of his obligation to fulfill their intent, prompting him to retrieve a new pen and inspect the divorce papers. Unbeknownst to him, the papers have been concealed within a guitar by Manisha, Manoj, Krish, Aryan, and Kiara, who maintain an act of ignorance. Armaan's growing unease prompts Ruhi to question his hesitation.
Worship Interrupted
As the family gathers for a devotional ceremony, Kaveri invites Vidya to commence the proceedings. Abhira chooses to pray separately, prompting Kaveri to accuse her of disrespect and involvement of outsiders. In retaliation, Kaveri orders Abhira to lead the veneration, much to Madhav's delight.
Armaan confides in Ruhi about the missing divorce papers, causing her to drop the ceremonial tray in shock. Abhira and Armaan swiftly intervene to prevent its fall. Despite the distraction, Ruhi proceeds with the veneration, praying for Abhira and Armaan's separation so she can wed Armaan. Meanwhile, Abhira and Armaan complete the ritual together, urging each other to expedite its completion.
Kaveri's Gift and Armaan's Dilemma
Kaveri distributes gifts among the group, while Ruhi suspects Abhira's involvement in hiding the papers. However, Armaan dismisses the allegation. Kaveri presents Abhira with a pen, requesting her to test its functionality. Abhira complies, only to be confronted by Kaveri's immediate demand for her signature on the divorce papers. Armaan is instructed to retrieve the documents, but he reveals their disappearance. Kaveri's anger escalates as she casts suspicion on both Madhav and Manisha, who vehemently defend themselves. Kaveri resolves to search the entire house, enlisting Vidya's assistance.
Conflicting Emotions and Strategic Plans
Kaveri and Vidya speculate on Armaan's true intentions, with Kaveri believing he harbors an unspoken desire to maintain his marriage. Abhira overhears their conversation and smiles, embracing Armaan while contemplating his actions. They share an intense moment before engaging in a lighthearted argument.
Sanjay approaches Kaveri, informing her about the necessity of proving Armaan's forced consent in order to proceed with the divorce. Kaveri disputes this notion, asserting that Armaan will never admit to such circumstances in court. Their discussion also touches upon Charu's marriage prospects, which Charu overhears.
Accusation and Discord
Ruhi confronts Abhira directly, accusing her of withholding the divorce papers. She conducts an unsuccessful search of Abhira's room, leaving the space in disarray. Abhira orders Ruhi to clean up the mess, leading to a bitter exchange of words between the two.
