The episode opens with Vaiju feeling heartbroken as memories of Rannvijay and Jaya together haunt her at the jewelry shop. Meanwhile, Jaya reflects on the moment she saw Vaiju selling her ring, which deepens her own sense of sorrow. Rannvijay lies awake, lost in thought. As Vaiju sleeps with tears streaming down her face while holding Vani, Rannvijay turns to Jaya and asks if she’s still awake. Jaya responds that she hasn’t slept either and begins picking up shards of broken glass. Rannvijay compares relationships to those shards, saying they can never truly be mended once broken.
Jaya clarifies that she isn’t trying to save their relationship but is instead holding onto memories. Rannvijay counters that this situation isn’t just about love, emphasizing that Vaiju’s self-respect is far too important. He warns Jaya not to maintain any ties with Vaiju. As he notices her getting pricked by the glass, he prepares to leave, cautioning her that she’ll end up getting hurt. Jaya retorts that she refuses to be used by him merely to impress Vaiju, asserting that when Vaiju recovers, she’ll fade out of their lives. Jaya hopes that Rannvijay can recognize her love for him.
Meanwhile, Arhaan is on the phone with a friend when Vasundhara inquires about what he’s raising money for. Ragini chimes in, teasing him about having just bought books last week as if he was building a library. Arhaan abruptly ends the call, and Sulekha ridicules his fashion sense. He defends himself by stating he’s the class topper. Vasundhara questions his rude demeanor towards their elders, insisting that respect is essential if he expects financial help from the family.
Meanwhile, Sunita informs Vaiju that she’s been searching through newspapers without finding any job openings. Vaiju reassures her that they will figure something out. She mentions needing to stay calm in order to teach Vani effectively. Vasundhara is seen hugging Vayu, who is excited to drink his milk and is looking forward to seeing Vaiju and Vani. Despite Vasundhara asking Jaikant to drop Vayu off at Vaiju’s place, he claims to be busy with work. She expresses her discontent that neither Jaya nor Rannvijay is home and that Vaiju was supposed to engage Vayu in some games. Vasundhara insists she doesn’t want Vaiju’s presence near Vayu at all.
Sulekha suggests that Vasundhara should stop feeling inferior to Vaiju and should simply take Vayu to her house. Meanwhile, Vani inquires about Vayu’s training, wondering why he hasn’t arrived yet, just as Vasundhara rings the doorbell. When Vani opens the door and hugs Vayu, she comments on his tardiness. She greets Vasundhara and affectionately calls her Aaji, to which Vasundhara retorts that she is not her Aaji. Vaiju intervenes, suggesting Vani call her “Aunty” instead. This leads to another argument between Vasundhara and Vaiju.
The episode concludes with Vaiju firmly stating that she is both Vani’s mother and father, reaffirming her role in Vani’s life.
