The latest episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kahlata Hai begins with Kaveri answering a call from the blackmailer. The voice on the other end warns her about an impending danger. Meanwhile, Shivani decides to visit Abhira’s family. As she makes her way there, she unexpectedly encounters Kaveri in the dark. The brief interaction leaves Shivani trying to recognize the familiar voice.
At the party, Shivani enters just as the lights dim. In the darkness, Madhav grabs her hand, and in that fleeting moment, they both feel a deep connection. Rohit urges Madhav to step forward and help Abhira. Elsewhere, Shivani and Vidya talk while continuing their search for their son. As Madhav stands there, he finds himself questioning how he can sense Shivani’s presence so strongly despite her being away for so long.
The atmosphere at the party shifts when RK picks up a drum and beats it with intensity, declaring his willingness to go to any exent for Abhira. Armaan steps in, responding with his own drumbeats, turning it into an intense musical competition. The energy in the room rises as Sanjay encourages everyone to embrace the moment and dance. Krish convinces Kiara to let go of her worries and join in the celebration.
Shivani suddenly finds herself face-to-face with Kaveri. The sight shakes her to the core, leaving her paralyzed with shock and fear. At the same time, Kaveri stiffens in alarm when she notices Shivani standing before her. Abhira, observing Shivani’s distress, approaches her with concern. Shivani decides to leave, overwhelmed by the encounter. Armaan notices her discomfort and immediately resolves to help her. Just as he prepares to step in, Madhav intervenes. Meanwhile, RK and Abhira decide to take Shivani to the hospital.
Kaveri, gripped with fear, worries about how Shivani’s presence might disrupt life at the Poddar house. She dreads the consequences it may have on Rohit, Vidya, Madhav, and Armaan. Abhira notices Kaveri’s anxious state and questions her about it. Kaveri quickly composes herself, insisting she has never been afraid of anything. Before the conversation can continue, Vidya steps in.
Aryan remarks on how much fun the party has been. Sanjay agrees, sharing how much he enjoyed himself. The mood shifts again when Vidya turns her attention to Armaan. She confronts the Poddars, accusing them of hurting Armaan by arranging Abhir and Charu’s alliance. Ruhi steps forward, pleading with Vidya to stop blaming her family. However, Vidya refuses to back down. She directs her anger at Abhira, accusing her of trying to grow closer to RK.
Armaan refuses to stay silent and firmly tells Vidya to stop. His words do little to calm her, and she continues her accusations. Frustrated, Armaan storms off, unable to take any more.
Later, Abhira asks RK whether he had taken Shivani to the hospital. He reassures her that Shivani is fine, explaining that she was likely just unsettled by the crowd. However, Abhira suspects that Shivani saw someone familiar, which caused her distress. RK suggests that the person might be connected to the Goenkas. Abhira, still concerned, asks RK to watch over Shivani.
Elsewhere, Armaan grows restless. Madhav notices and encourages him to talk to Abhira. However, Armaan insists that he has always supported her, even when it wasn’t easy. Madhav points out that Armaan only stood by her when it was convenient for him. Armaan, though reluctant to admit it, knows Madhav is right. He acknowledges that Abhira will never return to him, but after some hesitation, he agrees to at least try once more.
