The episode opens with Shlok expressing his determination to save Apollena at any cost. Despite Sarswati’s warning about the dangers, he bravely enters the outhouse even as she pleads with him to be cautious. Inside, he finds Apollena and quickly drapes his jacket over her to protect her. He assures her that he won’t let anything happen to her. As he lifts her to carry her out, he suddenly loses his balance. Apollena sees a wooden table about to crash down on them and selflessly positions herself to shield him from the falling debris. When he questions her recklessness, she replies that since he risked his life for her, she can do the same for him.
With determination, Shlok manages to bring Apollena out of the fire safely. Sarswati rushes to hug Shlok, asking if he’s alright, to which he nods. Rupa and Vedh go to check on Apollena, while Ira, watching from a distance, considers that Apollena’s luck can’t hold out forever. Shlok then reminds Sarswati to prioritize her daughter-in-law’s safety over his own, given that Apollena was in the outhouse. Ira chimes in, inquiring when the firefighters will arrive to assist. Vedh reassures her, stating that they know what they’re doing. Apollena suddenly remembers she left her laptop behind and is relieved when Shlok tells her he retrieved it, reminding her that he could never forget it since it’s a gift from her father. Grateful, Apollena thanks him and decides to change her clothes, leaving Shlok to excuse himself.
Later, the firefighters inform Mahadev that the cause of the fire was a gas leakage. Sarswati insists that the incident occurred because of Apollena’s carelessness. She claims Apollena is a bad omen for the family, saying that her decision to stay in the outhouse led to the fire. Sarswati accuses her of being irresponsible, suggesting she turned on the gas and forgot to turn it off while studying. Mahadev defends Apollena, asserting she isn’t foolish enough to make such a mistake. Just then, Rupa mentions that Ira emerged from the outhouse, prompting Ira to try and instigate the family against Apollena. Mahadev tells her to stay out of their family affairs while Sarswati insists she’s merely stating the truth about Apollena. Rupa argues that Apollena was only studying, not cooking, and recalls Sarswati previously advising everyone not to cook until the paint dried. Sarswati continues to blame Apollena.
Mahadev, however, supports Apollena, which frustrates Ira, who fears losing her influence. Meanwhile, Vedh approaches Rupa with documents he collected for consultation with a doctor, but Rupa cuts him off, revealing that she doesn’t want a baby. Having worked hard for a year, Vedh insists he can’t allow their efforts to be given up easily. He expresses his desire for a child and threatens that if Rupa won’t cooperate, he won’t hesitate to marry again. Ira quietly enters, pretending to apologize for coming at the wrong time, while Vedh excuses himself.
Rupa confronts Ira, accusing her of being responsible for the fire accident and questioning why she is targeting Apollena’s life. Rupa threatens to expose Ira’s involvement to everyone. In retaliation, Ira threatens to reveal Rupa’s infertility to the family, demanding that Rupa keep her secret safe if she wants her own truth to remain hidden. Sarswati overhears their exchange, but Ira skillfully spins a lie to protect herself.
Later, Shlok offers Apollena a glass of milk, showing his concern for her well-being. Mahadev encourages Apollena to observe a Mahashivratri fast for Shlok, suggesting that it will strengthen their bond. Meanwhile, Ira devises a plan to fast for Shlok as well, with the intent of sabotaging Apollena’s efforts. This sets the stage for an impending clash between the two. As tensions rise, a heated argument breaks out between Apollena and Shlok.
The episode concludes on this dramatic note, leaving the audience eager to see what will unfold next.
