The latest episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kahlata Hai unfolds with Abhira talking to Madhav over the phone. Meanwhile, Armaan stops her from taking medicines and tries to ease her pain with a comforting head massage. He reassures her, reminding her not to pity Abhir after the accident. “He will remain the same person,” he says, cautioning against hurting his self-respect. He urges her to care for Abhir, ensure he takes his medicines, and rest. Before leaving, he promises to always be there for her and says they will talk later. Overwhelmed, Abhira runs to hug him, holding onto his comforting words.
Madhav receives updates from the inspector and asks for the videos from the accident site. Meanwhile, Vidya, scrubbing her hands, finds the blood smell lingering and struggles with her guilt. Rohit enters with her bag but sneezes, commenting on the overpowering scent of her perfume before leaving. Vidya hesitates, wanting to share something with him but holding back.
Madhav reviews the evidence from the case and notices a familiar anklet among the items. He recalls it as a gift he gave Vidya but brushes off the thought, reasoning that she doesn’t drive and was at the concert when the accident occurred. The idea unsettles him, but he dismisses it, convincing himself that she would have informed him if anything had happened.
Sanjay insists on suing Abhir, but Charu refuses, saying Nanisa entrusted her with the case, and she determined not to sue him. Meanwhile, Armaan advocates for giving Abhir time to recover, despite Sanjay’s assertion that the doctor declared Abhir might never walk again. Vidya, battling her growing anxiety, listens quietly as Dadi and Armaan discuss the situation. Dadi advises Armaan to make a thoughtful decision.
Elsewhere, Madhav notices Vidya’s missing anklet while holding her when she stumbled and begins piecing things together. Confronting her, he asks if the accident involved her car. Overcome with guilt, Vidya admits the truth, explaining that it was a mistake and she panicked when she heard the police siren. She confesses her intention to apologize but admits fear held her back. Madhav, shaken, accuses her, “you ruined his career and life.”
Manisha, concerned about Armaan and Abhira’s relationship, encourages Armaan to speak with Abhira. He hesitates, fearing he will only worsen matters. Madhav, torn between his duty as a police officer and a father, tells Vidya she must confess. Vidya pleads with him to keep it a secret, citing the impact on Armaan and Abhira’s relationship. Madhav, conflicted, agrees to remain silent but warns the truth will surface eventually.
Later, Abhira calls Madhav, suggesting they visit Jaipur to investigate further. Madhav, recalling his promise, offers to contact the Jaipur police station instead. Vidya, grateful, thanks him for his silence. However, Madhav remains uneasy, knowing this secrecy is temporary.
Manisha informs Abhira about Dadi’s displeasure with Armaan neglecting work. Feeling indebted to Armaan for his unwavering support, Abhira decides to meet Dadi and take a stand for him. Meanwhile, she notices a dent on the car and questions the driver, who admits it happened on the day of Abhir’s show. She instructs him to take it to a mechanic for inspection.
As tensions rise, Armaan attempts to console Vidya, while Vidya, overwhelmed with guilt, was in the verge of disclosing the truth. But Madhav intervenes, urging her to rest. Madhav’s parting words echo the uncertainty of their predicament: the truth will emerge, and when it does, they must face the consequences.
