Today's episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai starts with Naira(Shivangi Joshi) scolding her father for eating too much spicy and also bunking gym. Naitik avoids the topic and tells Naira about her laptop. Naira accidentally drops tea on her laptop, and she has to wipe it off. As she wipes it, a slideshow starts with the pictures of her wedding. Naira is taken into the past, and all that happened. Naira suddenly tells Naitik she wants to fill up the form for her further education.

Naitik happily gets her the forms, but as Naira sits down to fill them, she is reminded of when Kartik had encouraged her to do it. Naitik and Chiti understand her state of mind but do not ask her anything. Kartik sits with Manish as he encourages him to take up a new project in the same college that Naira plans to study in. Naira thinks that she will not let her broken marriage affect her dreams. Kartik resists taking up the project, but eventually, Manish manages to convince him.

That night as Kartik and Naira try to sleep they imagine each other nearby. They wake up and lose sleep. They reminisce the moments spent together. Later Kartik takes refuge in alcohol and Naira has this obsessive habit of cleaning- she spends the entire night cleaning and scrubbing the house. Next morning as usual Chitti is surprised that he had not washed the utensils in the night but the mornings aw everything spic and span. Naitik knows that Naira did this but does not say anything to her.

As they sit down for breakfast Naitik says Naiar does not have butter post marriage and this paves the way to an awkward silence. Naira then applies a whole lot of butter on her bread. Kartik hears a sound outside his room as he sits eating breakfast. Luv Kush walk in even as they are not sure if Kartik will be angry. Luv Kush ask Kartik to call Naira and also let them speak to her. They say that after she has left Kartik has changed, and once she is back he can be back to what he was.

Kartik gets all restless. Thankfully Sulekha calls Luv and Kush, and they leave Kartik. Kartik then breaks the TV. Manish runs in and asks him what the matter is and where all this anger is coming from. Kartik refuses to speak and walks away. At Singhania house too there is an argument following Kirti sending gifts for Luv-Kush. Bhabhima is of the opinion that Kirti should go to her home and try sorting out differences between Kartik and Naira. Devyani though does not agree and says that it was never Naira's fault and yet Swarna is blinded by hatred for her.

Naksh is of the opinion that Naira should make more of an effort too. There Kirti sends a fax to Mumbai. As it is received at Naira's house, she sees the papers that fly. She sees Kartik's signatures on it and signs on the other blank line. Later Naitik who has been watching her hugs her and sends her off for a new beginning.
