The episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai commences with Abhira offering a toffee to Armaan and encouraging him to consume it. Armaan expresses gratitude and eats the toffee, while Abhira receives a toy tortoise. They share a light-hearted moment, with Armaan teasing her. Abhira considers the toy a good luck charm and jokingly labels Armaan as "mad." Despite their banter, she wishes him success in Rohit's case.

Armaan, in turn, prays for luck and eavesdrops on Abhira. He overhears her screaming at someone and discovers it's Ruhi. Armaan requests Abhira to feed his mother, who hasn't eaten since yesterday. Abhira agrees and goes to Vidya, urging her to eat for Rohit's sake. Vidya initially refuses but eventually relents, leading to an emotional moment between her and Abhira. Meanwhile, Ruhi is seen sleeping on the couch, visibly upset.

Concerned for Ruhi, Abhira knocks on her door, but Ruhi remains unresponsive. Abhira enters the room and consoles Ruhi, insisting that she get up, take a bath, and offering to bring food for her. Despite initial resistance, Ruhi eventually complies.

Later, Manisha remarks on Armaan's tardiness due to his association with Abhira. Armaan arrives home, and the family learns that Rohit has won his first case. Everyone celebrates, and Dadi commends Armaan. Abhira reflects on her similarities with Dadi after giving Armaan a toffee.

The plot thickens when Dadi's toffee box goes missing, leading to suspicion. Abhira is accused, but she denies taking it. Armaan searches for the box, and tensions rise. Ruhi's distress continues as she faces questions about her missing mangalsutra. Armaan attempts to console her, but Ruhi asks him to leave, expressing her frustration.

In a conversation with Abhira, Armaan shares his belief in Rohit's return and the difficulty of accepting the truth. Ruhi overhears this conversation and confronts Armaan, questioning the certainty of Rohit's return. Abhira witnesses their interaction.

As night falls, Armaan and Abhira engage in a lighthearted argument. Armaan insists that Abhira should take care of Ruhi, leading to a brief moment of intimacy. The episode concludes with preparations for a puja for Rohit's return. Dadi emphasizes her concern for Ruhi and decides against involving her in the puja due to her emotional state. 

The precap hints at a dramatic turn of events, with Dadi scolding Armaan and Abhira, preventing them from participating in the puja.
