The episode begins with Saraswati instructing Ira on how to impress Shlok while Apollena is ironing his clothes. However, Ira struggles to help because she has hidden the toolbox needed for the ironing. Apollena discovers that there’s an issue with the ironing machine and searches for the toolbox in the room, but cannot find it. Saraswati keeps a watchful eye on her. Apollena decides to check Rupa’s room for the ironing box. Meanwhile, Saraswati discreetly hides the ironing box and quickly gives it to Ira, urging her to finish the task.
Noticing the underhanded scheme, Apollena makes a video call to Madhu to vent her frustrations, stating that she feels unable to compete with them in such a childish manner. She complains about the typical mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drama, to which Madhu questions why she should relinquish her rights to anyone else. Apollena responds that she’s not interested and admits that Saraswati is trying to prove that Ira is better suited for Shlok.
Madhu emphasizes that Shlok is Apollena’s husband and her duty is to take care of him. Apollena fears that her recent marriage won’t hold, as men often change their hearts over time, urging her not to cry for him when that day comes. She claims she has no tools for ironing and decides to resort to traditional methods. Apollena lights charcoal to iron the clothes.
Saraswati, determined to thwart her plans, knocks over a flower vase to distract Apollena and pours water on the burning charcoal, leading to Apollena’s frustration. Meanwhile, Saraswati helps Ira Iron the clothes quickly and reminds her to present them to Shlok before Apollena can. She insists that Shlok must see how much Ira cares for him compared to Apollena.
When Ira presents the clothes to Shlok, he refuses to accept them. She insists that those were the only clothes she ironed for him. Just then, Apollena arrives with her own offering and gives it to Shlok, who praises her for knowing his favorite dress. Apollena replies confidently that she is his wife, prompting him to blow her a flying kiss. Ira storms off in anger.
Apollena then scolds Shlok for not taking care of his own tasks. When he questions why she feels the need to do everything for him, both turn away in annoyance but eventually share a laugh, amused by Ira’s frustrated expression. Later, Saraswati vents her anger on the clothes, determined to prove that Apollena is unworthy of Shlok. Meanwhile, Ira angrily throws items around, declaring she wants Shlok at any cost and will do whatever it takes for him.
Saraswati asks Ira if she has acted on her own without informing her, to which Ira lies. Just then, Shlok and Apollena arrive, and Saraswati instructs Apollena to stay home and prepare a meal for Shlok while she takes him to the temple. Apollena worries that she doesn’t know how to cook curry and starts searching for instructional videos. Meanwhile, Saraswati sends a message to Ira detailing how to cook the dish. Madhu steps in to offer Apollena some cooking tips to help her out.
Ira, feeling competitive, challenges Apollena, claiming she will impress Shlok with her cooking. Apollena smirks and counters that he will prefer her food instead. Later, when Saraswati returns home, she realizes her phone is in Ira’s hands, preventing her from helping Apollena. Determined to assist, she heads to the outhouse to check on Ira.
