The episode opens with a joyous scene of Rahi dancing with her friends. Her father, Parag, watches from a distance with a mix of pride and sadness. Rahi approaches him, and they share a heartfelt conversation. She encourages him not to give up on his dream of leading the Kothari Empire, drawing a parallel to her own dream of opening a dance academy. She expresses gratitude for his support while urging him to reclaim his purpose and fight for his legacy.
The scene shifts to a poignant meeting between Prem and his mother, Anupama, who is now living a modest life away from the Kothari mansion. Anupama is emotional upon learning that Prem is helping Rahi fulfill her dream of a dance academy—a dream Anupama herself once had. Overwhelmed with gratitude and a mix of past sorrow and present hope, she thanks Kanha Ji (Lord Krishna) for ensuring her daughter’s happiness, even if it means her own dreams were left behind. She gives Prem some prasad (blessed food offering) from a nearby temple for Rahi.
Meanwhile, back at the Kothari mansion, the atmosphere is tense. Motiba scolds her grandson, Raja, for his laziness and compares him unfavorably to his hardworking cousins, instructing him to learn from Prem. This prompts a bitter, revealing comment from Raja’s father, Anil, who whispers to his wife, Khyati, that Raja will now become a “chamcha” (sycophant) to Prem, just as he was to his own elder brother.
The tension escalates into a dramatic showdown. In a shocking display of cruelty, Motiba and Mahi throw Raja, his wife, and Khyati out of the house, tossing their luggage down the stairs. Khyati’s pleas about their rights are met with a cold declaration from Mahi that they now control everything, leaving the ousted family members shocked and destitute on the street.
Later, Prem surprises a worried Rahi by returning home. He playfully teases her about meeting a “special” and beautiful person in Mumbai, making her momentarily jealous. He then reveals he was talking about the Mumbai rain, lightening the mood. In a tender moment, he gives her the prasad from the “Maa” he met at the temple—unbeknownst to Rahi, it’s from her own mother, Anupama. Prem secretly records a video of Rahi happily eating the prasad and sends it to Anupama.
We see Anupama in her new life, cooking in a humble kitchen. She tearfully watches the video of her daughter, a bittersweet smile on her face. Her new reality is further established as she leads a yoga class for the women of her neighborhood. When a woman, Sarita, gets stuck in a difficult pose, Anupama skillfully helps her, showcasing her knowledge as a physiotherapist. The scene reveals that Anupama is now earning a living by teaching yoga, a fact her friend Preetu proudly highlights.
The episode ends with a high-stakes promo for the next installment. A local goon named Mangesh threatens Anupama’s neighbor, Jaspreet. In a powerful display of her newfound strength and leadership, Anupama, along with the women of the chawl armed with brooms and bats, confronts him, declaring that they rule their neighborhood. She consoles a crying Jaspreet, telling her not to give up, as a flashback reveals her own husband’s past betrayal, connecting her painful past to her resilient present.
