Tulsi realises that she needs to fill the void she has created in the Virani family. She decides to send Gautam back. She asks Kesar to take Gautam to Shantiniketan.

Kesar takes Gautam to the Viranis. Everybody is pleased, but Mihir refuses to keep Gautam. He feels that Tulsi has given up on something that means a lot to her to keep the family happy, and he refuses to subject her to the trauma of separation from Gautam.

Kesar is touched and leaves Shantiniketan without Gautam.

Anupam meets Mihir and tries to assure him that what transpired was not Mihir's fault alone.

Pooja meets Tulsi and the latter tells her to seriously consider marrying Hemant.

Savita arrives at the temple with Gautam. Tulsi sees them, but does not want Savita to know that she misses Gautam a lot. When Savita goes out of sight, Tulsi rushes to her son. Savita, however, spots them and is moved.

Gayatri tells Pragya and Sejal that they are guests in their parents' house. She insinuates that the house belongs to her and the other daughters-in-law of the family.

Savita's friend tries to find out about Tulsi's departure. Savita is rendered speechless, but Pragya comes to the rescue of her family. She makes the lady in question regret her question.

Aarti helps Mihir calm down Gautam. Savita is happy to see this, but Mihir reminds her that Aarti can never replace Tulsi in Gautam's life.

Mansukh tells Pragya that he appreciates her standing up for the family and for Tulsi. He lashes out at Savita for not being able to keep her friend in check.

Tulsi calls the Viranis to speak to Gautam, but does not say anything. Mihir realises she is on the line. He and Anupam try to persuade Tulsi to return, but she does not change her mind.

Tulsi takes over the temple pujari's duties while he is away. Mandira comes to the temple and Tulsi helps her complete her pooja.

Aarti chastises Sejal for not paying attention to Gautam. Sejal talks to Gayatri about this and the latter tells her not to take Aarti's words to heart.

Pragya overhears this and taunts Gayatri about offering her daughter advice, when her own relationship with her sister-in-law is not perfect.

Savita hurts herself and accuses Pragya of being responsible. It turns out that Mansukh is the one at fault and Savita is forced to apologise to Pragya.

Pragya and JD discuss Gautam's birthday. They wonder how to get Tulsi to come to the celebrations. Pragya comes up with a trick. She and JD tell everyone that they've planned a party at home. Savita is upset and decides to throw a party at a restaurant. Pragya is thrilled, because she knows that Tulsi can now attend the party.

On Gautam's birthday, Mihir opens the door to discover an aarti thali with a gold chain on the doorstep. He realises that Tulsi must have left it behind for Gautam.

Hemant tells Pooja he wants to take her out. But they decide to stay home, unwilling to risk the speculation they would set off, being seen together in public.

Pragya notices that Ba misses Tulsi a lot. She talks to her brothers and they decide that Tulsi should be asked to return.

Mansukh, JD and Himmat go to Ba, along with their children, and tell her to bring Tulsi back. Ba asks them if this is what Gayatri and Savita want as well. She then tells the family to meet her in the living room, since she has something important to say to them.

Ba calls everybody and asks them why they want Tulsi back. She then tells them that their reasons are selfish, and that she will not let Tulsi get humiliated again.

Ba tells them that by insulting Tulsi, they have subjected her, the mother of the Virani sons, to disrespect. She hands over the almirah keys to Babuji, disowns the Viranis and walks out of the room.

Babuji later finds Ba contemplating the days spent with Tulsi. She tells him that as the head of the family, he could have prevented the injustice done to Tulsi. Since he did not speak up, she disowns him too.

The family tries to convince Ba to join them for dinner, but she refuses to listen to them.

Mihir meets Tulsi and tries to give her a mobile phone and a cheque book. She refuses to accept them.

Anupam gives Kesar a lift. She leaves her book behind in his car. JD convinces Gayatri to meet Tulsi and ask her to come back.

Anupam comes to return Kesar's book to Tulsi. Tulsi returns his guest-house keys. Gayatri enters just then and sees them together. She tells Savita that Tulsi is meeting Anupam. Savita is stunned.

Savita tries to use Mihir to pacify Ba, but her ploy does not work. Kesar goes to Anupam's office to get his interiors done.

Mandira comes for the puja. Mihir goes to the ceremony Tulsi is conducting for their child.

At the time of the ceremony, Mandira's saree gets soiled and Savita takes her to her room to change into another one. We then get to see that Mandira is faking her pregnancy.

Savita insists that even if Tulsi is not around, everyone should go ahead with the plan to play the dandiya.

At the dandiya, Pragya manages to make Savita lose to Gayatri. Mandira's pregnancy is highlighted when a dandiya stick hits her stomach, but she does not react. Mihir receives a mysterious phone call.

Everyone is upset that Tulsi has left for Haridwar without telling them. Savita and Pragya have an argument again.

Sejal tells Aarti that she should not get very attached to Gautam, since he is someone else's child.

Pragya's husband gets a business proposal involving a lot of money. JD and Mansukh agree to it, but Himmat is hesitant.

Pragya discovers that her diamond ring is missing.

Kesar tells Anupam that his sister is responsible for all that injustice Tulsi and Mihir have suffered. Anupam agrees with her.

Everyone tries to convince Ba not to be angry, but she remains unmoved.

Anupam and Kesar select some material for his office. Pragya tells Gayatri that Savita might try and implicate her in the theft of the ring.

Himmat, Mansukh and JD discover that the money they have invested in the business deal with Naveen is lost. They are all upset.

Raksha tells Savita that Pragya suspects she has the ring.

Pooja tells Hemant she is willing to accept his proposal. Gayatri and JD then take shagun to her. Ba is happy to hear about Hemant and Pooja, but tells Hemant that no happiness can be complete without Tulsi.

Anupam tells his mom they should leave town. Mandira then tells her family that she alone should leave.

Himmat is furious about the loss the deal with Naveen has suffered. He decides to pull out of the partnership and get his money back. Mansukh and JD ask Navin to ensure that the insurance money comes through soon.

Savita blames Pragya and Navin for the business loss. Pragya overhears her and makes Navin give Dadaji a cheque for the amount that the Viranis invested, plus the interest.
