Basit goes haywire once he confirms all of his fears that Ayesha and Fahad were hiding things from him. He is convinced that Ayesha has been cheating on him with Fahad and that the two are romantically involved.

The ARY Digital drama series Habs, tells the tale of how suffocating a relationship can become when two people are entwined while carrying the burden of their emotional and mental baggage. It is a Six Sigma Productions drama written by Aliya Makhdoom and directed by Musaddiq Malek that stars a fresh on-screen couple, Feroze Khan and Ushna Shah. The supporting cast consists of Imran Aslam, Dania Anwer, Saba Faisal, Hina Rizvi, Irsa Ghazal, and Javed Sheikh.

In this episode, Basit (Feroze Khan) expresses his concerns regarding Fahad (Mussadiq Malek) and Ayesha (Ushna Shah) discussing something behind his back. The episode's main focus was Basit confronting Ayesha about her alleged affair with his best friend, Fahad. When Fahad's mother shows up to meet Basit and Ayesha at their home, he first acts as the ideal host by engaging her in conversation. But when Ayesha joins them, he starts talking nonsensical and hints subtly that they are involved. As soon as Fahad realizes what Basit has been considering, he immediately leaves.

Later, Fahad meets Ayesha at Basit's house and advises her to tell Basit everything. However, as they were conversing, Basit shows up and is enraged to see the two together. When Fahad attempts to explain, he snaps and slaps him. However, it doesn't stop there because Basit drags Ayesha out of their house as well without allowing her to explain what was truly going on. Now that Ayesha has been thrown out, it is clear that she is devastated and furious at Basit for stooping to such a level. She flatly refuses to speak to Basit when Bano(Dania Anwer) and her mother (Saba Faisal) urge her to do so since she is so deeply hurt and her ego has been crushed by the awful blame.

At work, Bano tries to talk to Basit and convince him that whatever he is thinking is totally false and that he shouldn't have questioned his own best friend, but Basit silences her. Basit advises Bano to stay out of his personal matters and take care of her own business. Basit evidently misses Ayesha a little at home because he still wants Karim to call her after kicking her out.

While living with her in-laws in her new home, Zoya (Janice Tessa) was seen being herself. She is great at telling people to stop talking when it's necessary, especially her mother-in-law, and not allowing them criticise her.

The happy moments between Ayesha and Basit that viewers were cherishing seemed to be rather short-lived, which made the entire episode a little too depressing. We were a bit disappointed when the drama took a predictable turn and changed into the same old tale about husbands doubting the character of their wives and relying entirely on their own foolish instincts instead of logic or reason.

However, it was both of the key actors' superb acting that kept us captivated to the unusual plot twist. Ushna Shah effectively brought tears to our eyes because we could see and feel the pain in every moment, even those that contained no dialogues but still showed her frustration. On the other hand, Feroze did a terrific job portraying this enraged man who has lost it with his mind-blowing acting. It was absolutely shocking to watch the scene where he drags Ayesha into the car and orders the driver to drive her to her mother's house.

We're hoping that the two can resolve their differences and that the situation doesn't worsen in the upcoming episodes. We also wish that the heroine be depicted in these instances as a strong person who speaks out for herself rather than remaining mute.
