The episode begins on an emotional note as Anupama brings Jaya back home. The moment they enter, Jaya feels uneasy and scared due to the darkness around her. Sensing her fear, Anupama gently reassures her, saying it’s just a power cut and there’s nothing to worry about.
Within moments, the lights come back on—and both are pleasantly surprised. The house is beautifully decorated, clearly arranged as a special welcome for Jaya.
A Heartwarming Surprise for Jaya
To make Jaya smile, Banku appears dressed as a teddy bear, joined by uncle and aunty. At first, Jaya gets frightened, but Anupama lovingly explains that it’s just Banku in disguise. Slowly, Jaya relaxes.
The couple warmly welcomes her, and although hesitant at first, Jaya gathers courage and greets them. Soon, the mood lightens further when aunty brings out a cake. Jaya’s innocent excitement shines as she asks if the whole cake is for her—and everyone happily agrees.
But just as she is about to cut the cake, she stops. She insists that she won’t celebrate without Digvijay. She recalls his promise to stay with her in the hospital and begins searching for him. Banku explains that Digvijay has stepped out for some work, and Anupama gently calms her.
Instead of cutting the cake, Jaya decides to wait for him and lovingly feeds everyone.
Anupama’s Concern for Digvijay Grows
After the celebration begins, Anupama thanks Banku for arranging everything. However, she worries whether Digvijay was informed about the decorations. Banku admits he didn’t get the chance, but believes Digvijay will understand.
Still, Anupama senses that Digvijay has been under stress lately and feels they should be more mindful of his emotions.
The conversation turns emotional when Banku notices Anupama’s missing chain. She reveals she had to sell it due to circumstances. Banku feels deeply hurt hearing this, but Anupama brushes it aside, asking him to focus on Jaya.
Celebration Turns Into Fear
As the family continues celebrating with music and dance, the atmosphere suddenly shifts. Jaya freezes in fear after spotting Rossi. In her mind, she imagines him trying to harm Anupama.
Terrified, she runs and hugs Anupama tightly. Anupama immediately comforts her, assuring her that no one can harm her here. Just then, Digvijay returns home.
Mahi and Jassi’s Tense Confrontation
Meanwhile, another intense moment unfolds as Mahi confronts Jassi. She urges her to think about Ansh’s emotions, warning that he is sensitive and can be easily influenced.
Jassi, however, reacts sarcastically. She reminds Mahi of her own past mistakes—how she once prioritized Gautam over her family—and accuses her of hypocrisy. She even compares Mahi to Pakhi, saying both only return to family when hurt.
Despite the harsh words, Mahi stands firm. She warns Jassi not to manipulate Ansh or distance him from his loved ones. But before things escalate further, Ansh intervenes and leaves with Jassi.
Leela, surprisingly, supports the conflict. She tells Mahi to continue confronting Jassi daily, leaving Hasmukh shocked. When questioned, Leela reveals her intention—to create tension so that one of them eventually leaves the house.
Rahi Begins to Doubt Vasundhara
On another front, Rahi grows suspicious of Vasundhara. She questions why Anupama’s call was not conveyed to her. When she asks directly, Vasundhara avoids answering.
Privately, Vasundhara believes she holds complete authority in the Kothari house. She feels Anupama’s daughter should follow her rules and that no one has the right to question her decisions.
Digvijay’s Emotional Moment with Jaya
Back at home, uncle and aunty tell Digvijay how Jaya has brought life back into the house. They compare her presence to Saavi’s memories and encourage him to smile again.
Banku apologizes to Digvijay for decorating without permission. Digvijay listens quietly and gifts Jaya a diary meant for growing children. Jaya beams with happiness and excitedly tells him she saved cake just for him.
She hugs him emotionally, but instead of responding, Digvijay quietly walks away—leaving everyone thoughtful.
Anupama senses a change in him. Despite his struggles, she feels he is slowly opening up.
Rahi and Prem’s New Journey
Elsewhere, excitement builds around Prem’s restaurant. Raja is thrilled, but Prem clarifies that the official opening is still pending.
Rahi remains optimistic and invites Prem to stay hopeful, saying the license will come soon. However, she advises everyone to stay calm until everything is finalized.
Vasundhara calls Parag and invites him to the opening. Prem confidently declares that once his restaurant succeeds, he will bring Parag back.
Anupama shows interest in the event, but Vasundhara appears uncomfortable with her involvement.
Anupama’s Fear for Jaya Deepens
At night, Anupama gently sings a lullaby to help Jaya sleep. Even in her sleep, Jaya seems disturbed. Her fear refuses to leave.
Anupama’s heart aches as she wonders what Rossi might have done to leave such a deep impact. She feels helpless—there is no proof, and Jaya is too scared to speak.
Jaya murmurs in her sleep, making Anupama emotional. She silently promises to protect her at any cost.
Digvijay checks on them, and Anupama shares her concerns. She suspects Rossi but admits she has no evidence. Overcome with guilt, she blames herself for confronting Rossi and Paul earlier.
Digvijay stops her, telling her not to blame herself. He reminds her how lucky she is to have Jaya back, saying not everyone gets their child back.
His words leave Anupama stunned.
Precap
Rahi excitedly informs Prem that Anupama has been selected as the mentor responsible for inspecting his restaurant for the license approval.
However, in a shocking twist, Anupama rejects the license.
Rahi is left heartbroken and accuses Anupama of destroying her and Prem’s dreams.
