The episode begins with Apollena confronting Saraswati, urging her to support Rupa instead of blindly standing by Mahadev. Apollena accuses Mahadev of not being against Rupa alone but against women in general, showcasing his male chauvinism. Shocked, Saraswati asks how Apollena could speak against her husband. Apollena explains that she has always respected Mahadev, having given birth to two sons for him. Yet, despite their 30 years of marriage, he was willing to sever all ties with her to pressure Shlok into marrying someone else. She asserts that Rupa is her daughter-in-law and deserves protection, not betrayal.
Mahadev interrupts the conversation, informing Saraswati that the priest has brought a suitable horoscope for Vedh. He insists on checking it, and Saraswati follows him. Meanwhile, Vedh advises Shlok to reflect on his actions. He points out that Shlok became furious when Girdar insulted their father, and similarly, Apollena’s anger is justified when her father was insulted. Vedh encourages Shlok to think it through.
Later, Mahadev asks Saraswati to review pictures of potential brides for Vedh. However, Saraswati refuses, firmly stating that the wedding cannot take place because Rupa is already their daughter-in-law. Mahadev argues that it is acceptable to marry another woman when the first wife cannot provide an heir. Saraswati counters passionately, stating that a woman is not a machine designed to bear children. She recalls the love they once shared and expresses her disappointment in Mahadev for being willing to sacrifice their marriage for Shlok. Mahadev defends his actions, claiming it was only meant to threaten Shlok. Saraswati laments that despite fulfilling all her duties as a wife, she has no say in family decisions. Mahadev challenges her by asking what she would do if Vedh genuinely wanted to remarry. Saraswati turns to Vedh, seeking his opinion.
Vedh, with conviction, declares his love for Rupa and admits that he cannot live without her. Overcome with emotion, Rupa embraces Vedh, and Saraswati, moved by the moment, thanks Apollena for opening her eyes. Rupa later hands over a hard drive to Apollena, revealing that Vijayan had been guarding it closely. Though she loves Vijayan deeply, Rupa confesses that he has shown no regard for her life, offering neither support nor loyalty. She describes him as a selfish man. However, Apollena stood by her during her toughest times. Rupa urges Apollena to confront Vijayan and ensure he faces the consequences of his betrayal. Grateful, Apollena thanks Rupa for her courage.
In a surprising turn of events, government officers arrive to honor Girdar. They commend him for his role in exposing Vijayan as a traitor, removing the stain on his reputation. Girdar is awarded by the government for aiding in apprehending a criminal. During the ceremony, he thanks the media and proudly shares details about his daughter. Apollena reveals her aspiration to become an astronaut, a dream that Mahadev’s family wholeheartedly supports. Shlok expresses his love for Apollena and assures her of his unwavering support for her ambitions. Overwhelmed with emotion, she hugs him, and the family poses for a group photo, united and hopeful for the future.
