The episode of Star Plus' show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai tonight will commence with Armaan emotionally watching childhood video clips, leading him to tears. The song "Tera Yaar Hoon Main" plays in the background. Meanwhile, Rohit reflects on their childhood memories while looking at their pictures. Armaan expresses concern to Rohit, questioning why he isn't seeking help when life challenges him. He urges Rohit to share his troubles and wonders why their dynamic has changed. Overwhelmed, Rohit remembers Armaan's past support and breaks down. Dadi interrupts, knocking on the door, and Rohit reluctantly opens up to her.

Dadi, noticing Rohit's distress, offers assistance and suggests taking Armaan's help if needed. She emphasizes Armaan's deep affection for Rohit and encourages him to accept support. Rohit eventually confides in Dadi, seeking her help. Meanwhile, Suwarna received a call, and Dadi invited the entire family, including Manish and Surekha, for a discussion. Despite initial reluctance from Surekha and Manish, they decide to join the conversation.

In another scene, Armaan enters his room to find Abhira arranging her clothes. A playful banter ensues, with Abhira expressing annoyance over their cancelled honeymoon plans. The couple engages in a light-hearted exchange, with Abhira playfully drawing a bull to represent Armaan. Their interaction takes an unexpected turn when the police arrive, shocking everyone. Armaan is taken into custody, leaving Vidya and others bewildered.

The unexpected arrest turns out to be a well-executed prank orchestrated by Rohit for a New Year's party. The family, initially scared, is relieved to discover it was a hoax. Dadi reveals that it was Rohit's idea, and the atmosphere lightens as they celebrate the beginning of the New Year. Rohit apologizes for the elaborate prank, explaining that it was his way of teaching Armaan a lesson about love and sacrifice.

As the festivities continue, Suwarna expresses concern to Ruhi about the potential repercussions if Rohit discovers the truth about her relationship with Armaan before her marriage to Rohit. Ruhi grapples with her feelings as she sees Armaan and recalls his words. She also sees Rohit and recalls his words, creating a complex web of emotions within the family.

In a heartfelt moment, Rohit admits to Armaan that he needs to mature and take responsibility for his actions. Armaan reassures Rohit of his unwavering support, and the two reconcile. Amidst the celebrations, Abhira, still upset with Armaan, refuses to speak until he apologizes. However, the tension dissolves when Dadi intervenes, and Armaan removes the tape from Abhira's mouth, symbolizing their resolution.
