In the latest episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kahlata Hai Abhira struggles to regain control over her life. She desperately calls about her bar council license, only to be told to try again later. Frustration builds as she reflects on her challenges like her brother Abhir isn’t getting the love he deserves, and her career remains at a standstill. In a moment of exhaustion, she imagines Armaan in her room. His voice is gentle as he urges her to return home, but she refuses, choosing to stay with Manisha and Abhir. In her dream, Armaan admits he isn’t the same without her. She tells him to leave, but he grabs her. As the vision fades, she sighs. Abhira reflected on the situation saying that these days, all he does is shout. Despite everything, she misses him.
Meanwhile, RK records a video against a Paris-themed backdrop. When Abhira arrives, she catches him glued to his phone. He looks up, surprised by her presence. She mentions the case through Manish, but RK, still in work mode, resumes recording. However, her presence distracts him. Annoyed, he blames her for ruining his focus.
Vidya, lost in thought, wonders if Armaan is truly happy. When she questions him, he avoids a direct answer. RK watches Abhira, unable to look away. Vidya presses further, and Armaan insists that he’s content with his family. A gust of wind tugs at Vidya’s saree, catching it in a car. Armaan steps in to free it. Abhira, watching nearby, asks RK to help Vidya. He refuses. Even when she insists, he remains firm. Eventually, he makes a reluctant attempt, but Armaan rejects his help.
Frustration boils over as Abhira confronts RK about his reluctance. RK, in his defense, says Vidya didn’t want his assistance. The conversation grows heated until Vidya, unable to contain her emotions, publicly accuses Abhira of moving on and finding a new partner. The accusation stings. RK steps forward to defend Abhira, but she stops him. Vidya turns to Armaan, urging him to open his eyes and move forward. RK frantically warns Vidya that she’s gone too far. Without another word, Abhira and RK walk away, leaving Armaan and Vidya in stunned silence.
RK, doubting Abhira’s ability to handle the upcoming meeting, decides to stand by her side. Armaan, on the other hand, wrestles with his own guilt. He contemplates that he is the reason for the growing rift between Abhira and Vidya.
Later, RK offers to drop Abhira home. His voice carries understanding. She hesitates but ultimately accepts.
As Armaan makes his way back, fate intervenes. An accident shakes him. Vidya, panic rising in her chest, rushes to his side. Armaan reassures her, his voice steady despite the situation.
