The episode opens with Bhagyashree, Rishabh, and her family gathering for dinner with Meenakshi’s family. During the meal, Meenakshi and her mother comment on Bhagyashree’s good fortune, which prompts Bhagyashree to quietly leave the table. Rishabh notices her departure and follows her, concerned about her distress. Bhagyashree confesses her internal conflict, expressing that despite her family’s love, she feels guilty for lying to them once again.
From a distance, Vinay observes Bhagyashree’s troubled demeanor and remarks to Padma that she appears upset. Padma reassures him, stating that Rishabh will take care of her. Rishabh approaches Bhagyashree with kindness, telling her that tears do not suit her, and offers her his handkerchief to wipe her eyes. Padma comments on Rishabh’s affection for Bhagyashree, acknowledging that his love mirrors her own.
Meanwhile, Sowmya is on a quest for evidence and discovers a discrepancy in the addresses listed on Bhagyashree and Rishabh’s passports. Her investigation continues as she checks Rishabh’s bank account, only to find it empty, raising further suspicions.
Later, Rishabh makes an unexpected entrance at Bhagyashree’s family gathering, carrying drinks that shock the guests. Vinay expresses his disapproval to Padma, stating that Rishabh’s actions contradict their cultural norms. As Bhagyashree attempts to intervene, Rishabh clarifies that he is serving Panakam, a traditional drink, despite its presentation in wine glasses. Karthik humorously remarks on this unconventional choice, while Vinay internally criticizes Rishabh’s lack of sophistication.
As the evening progresses, Karthik shares that Shekhar and his family have taken a liking to Rishabh, but Vinay remains irate, questioning Rishabh’s tardiness. Padma inquires about his frustration, and Vinay expresses concern over potential scrutiny from their society regarding Bhagyashree and Rishabh’s relationship. Rishabh reassures Vinay that he knows how to manage any troublemakers who may threaten his wife’s reputation.
In a parallel subplot, Mukul Chadda is scheming with his friends to publicly embarrass Bhagyashree and Rishabh during the upcoming society meeting. Sowmya decides to withhold the truth about Bhagyashree’s fabricated marriage until after the meeting, and the watchman informs her that the meeting is set for 7 p.m. the following day.
Bhagyashree becomes overwhelmed with anxiety, envisioning her father, Vinay, suffering a heart attack upon learning that Rishabh is not her real husband. In a panic, she screams, prompting Padma to rush in and calm her down. Padma reminds Bhagyashree that she tends to clean and organize when stressed and suggests that Rishabh should handle the situation. Despite her worries, Bhagyashree insists she is merely tidying up.
Later, Bhagyashree descends to donate some items, where she encounters Mukul, who ridicules her. In retaliation, she angrily drops a bowl on his foot, asserting her defiance.
Upon returning home, Bhagyashree runs into Rishabh, and they share a tender moment. She confides her fears about the impending society meeting, and Rishabh encourages her to trust him, assuring her that he will manage everything. Just then, Lajjo, Geetu, Babita, and Tina arrive, and Rishabh expresses confidence in their collective strength, stating that with his batchmates supporting him, they form a formidable team. He then departs with the LGBT group.
Downstairs, Rishabh seeks the LGBT group’s support for the meeting, but they hesitate to join him. One of Chadda’s friends overhears this conversation and rushes to inform Mukul.
Bhagyashree tries to reveal the truth to her family but is interrupted by Rishabh’s arrival, and they receive a call summoning them to the society meeting. As everyone prepares to leave, Sowmya discreetly tells Karthik to have medicine ready for their father, to which Bhagyashree reassures her that nothing will happen to him.
At the meeting, Mukul Chadda questions how Bhagyashree suddenly acquired a husband. Lajjo, Geetu, Babita, and Tina come to her defense, asserting that Rishabh is indeed her husband. Nitya provides context, explaining that Rishabh works for a company in Mumbai, which is why Bhagyashree has been living alone. Babita chastises Mukul for meddling in their private affairs.
Padma observes the support that Rishabh and Bhagyashree are receiving from their neighbors and points out to Vinay that Mukul appears to be in the wrong. The LGBT group then confronts Chadda and his friends, insisting that they leave the meeting.
Chadda raises further objections, questioning why Rishabh’s name is absent from the property documents and why Bhagyashree has listed herself as single. The society chairman arrives and confirms, based on the documentation, that Bhagyashree is indeed listed as single.
In the precap, Padma overhears a private conversation between Rishabh and Bhagyashree, hinting at more revelations to come.
