MUMBAI: The Episode starts with Armaan gently asking Abhira to get some rest, while he chooses to sleep with Pookie in a different room. As Abhira drifts off, her thoughts are filled with Pookie. The next morning, the Poddars excitedly plan a trip, and they decide to take Pookie along. Abhira stands quietly by herself, and Kaveri notices. When she asks what’s wrong, Abhira tells her she has a fever and that Armaan asked her to stay away. But Kaveri isn’t convinced—she firmly says this doesn’t look like any viral fever.
Just then, the Goenkas arrive in full vacation mode, pulling up in a bus. Armaan expresses how important it is for him to make this Pookie’s first memorable trip. Kaveri checks in with Ruhi, who assures her she’s doing fine. Kaveri then confesses she misses Daksh, and gently nudges Ruhi to help Abhira find her voice—to speak up instead of keeping everything bottled in.
Armaan takes Pookie from Vidya’s arms as the Poddars gear up for their holiday. But when he sees that Vidya has adjusted Pookie’s bag, he snaps at her, leaving Vidya stunned. He quickly shifts gears and tells everyone to board the bus. Sanjay proudly grabs the front seat while the rest settle in.
As the bus rolls out, Abhira feels the sting of being left behind emotionally. Armaan hadn’t even noticed she was sitting away. When she confronts him, he brushes it off with a weak excuse. Abhira, hurt, chooses to sit next to Sanjay. The mood in the bus lifts as everyone starts singing—until Armaan abruptly asks them to stop, saying Pookie is getting disturbed. Kaveri challenges him, pointing out that Pookie seems perfectly fine. Manish steps in to lighten the mood, singing and dancing with Pookie in his arms. But Armaan quickly takes her back, unable to let go.
Meanwhile, Ruhi notices Abhira watching Pookie through a camera feed and warns her—she needs to step in before it’s too late. She worries aloud that Armaan’s love for Pookie is tipping into obsession.
The trip goes on with cheerful moments here and there, but there’s a clear wedge between Abhira and Pookie—one that Armaan seems to be enforcing. He even asks Vidya to handle Pookie’s diaper change. But Vidya makes a troubling discovery: the baby’s caretaker is secretly stalking them. Shocked, she decides to keep this from Abhira.
Abhira tries again to get close to Pookie, but Armaan keeps finding reasons to come between them. Eventually, Abhira ends up sitting alone in the bus, disheartened. Ruhi, growing concerned, urges Armaan to take care of Abhira too. But Armaan coldly replies that his only priority is Pookie. Ruhi fires back, reminding him that the baby needs her mother more than anything. Still, Armaan clings to the belief that only he can give Pookie the care she needs.
That night, Abhira wakes from a chilling nightmare—she dreamt someone kidnapped Pookie. Panic floods her as she searches for the baby, heart pounding. In that moment, she makes a silent vow: no one, not even Armaan, will take her daughter away from her.
