The episode opens with Teju confronting Rithu Raj in his room, expressing her frustration and confusion over his deceitful behavior. She demands to understand why he has been spreading lies about her to others. Rithu Raj responds dismissively, accusing her of feigning concern for Neil, suggesting that her only interest lies in maintaining her role as his girlfriend. Teju firmly reminds him of her commitment to Neil, asserting her identity as his wife.
Rithu Raj persists in his claims, declaring his love for Teju and attempting to close the physical distance between them. Teju, taken aback by his advances, pushes him away and accuses him of intentionally trying to damage her reputation in front of Nandini and Amai. Rithu Raj, sensing Nandini’s presence nearby, shifts his tone, stating that he cannot betray his brother or the family that has supported him. He insists that Teju should leave his room, emphasizing the boundaries that now exist due to her marriage to Neil.
Teju is left shocked and confused by Rithu Raj’s words, questioning the implications of his statements. He continues to assert that her presence in his room, especially when Neil is absent, is inappropriate. As the tension escalates, Teju raises her hand in anger, intending to slap him, but Nandini intervenes, chastising her for her actions. Nandini accuses Teju of having an affair with Rithu Raj, claiming that the truth is now evident.
In her defense, Teju insists that she only entered Rithu Raj’s room to confront him about his slanderous remarks. Rithu Raj seizes the opportunity to reinforce Nandini’s suspicions, accusing Teju of playing the victim while he asserts that she has acted deceitfully. Teju vehemently denies his accusations, stating that she has distanced herself from Rithu Raj long ago. Nandini, however, remains unconvinced, claiming to have witnessed Rithu Raj setting boundaries that Teju ignored.
As the confrontation intensifies, Teju warns Rithu Raj that she will ensure he faces consequences for questioning her integrity. Nandini, fueled by her own convictions, threatens to inform the family of Teju’s alleged transgressions. Teju, feeling cornered, decides to leave the room, seeking solace from the escalating chaos.
Afterward, Rithu Raj tries to reassure Nandini of his innocence, claiming that he has done nothing wrong. Nandini, having overheard the earlier exchange, expresses her support for Rithu Raj, vowing to take action against Teju and push her out of the house. Rithu Raj, emboldened by Nandini’s backing, declares his intention to turn the entire Pradhan family against Teju.
Meanwhile, Teju attempts to reach Neil by phone, but her calls fail to connect. Overwhelmed with emotion, she reflects on her need for Neil’s support, believing he trusts her implicitly. In a moment of desperation, she prays to Goddess Parvati for guidance and assistance in communicating with Neil.
At the medical camp, Neil tends to a pregnant woman, assuring her that both she and her baby are in good health. The woman inquires about Teju’s absence, recalling their previous encounters together. This prompts Neil to reminisce about his memories with Teju, leading to a moment of nostalgia. As the patient departs, Neil realizes that his phone has no signal. Surwa, a colleague, approaches him, expressing concern for Teju. Neil reassures her that Teju is simply upset and did not want him to attend the camp. He acknowledges Teju’s deep care for him, and Surwa comments on the possibility of Teju harboring feelings for him as well. Neil admits uncertainty but mentions having seen glimpses of love in her eyes, resolving to clarify their relationship upon his return home.
Back at the Pradhan household, Nandini informs the family about her observation of Teju entering Rithu Raj’s room late at night, eliciting shock and disbelief from everyone present. Leena, particularly vocal, expresses her long-held belief that Teju is unworthy of Neil, labeling her as shameless. Teju arrives just in time to deny the accusations, acknowledging her presence in Rithu Raj’s room but insisting that the context was misinterpreted. Leena dismisses her explanation, demanding that she cease her lies.
Amruta questions Teju’s integrity, suggesting that she should feel ashamed for her alleged affair with Rithu Raj. Nandini echoes these sentiments, accusing Teju of lacking shame and blaming her for the situation at hand. Vinod attempts to mediate, urging the family to allow Teju the opportunity to explain. Jeetu and Manjari also advocate for her, but Leena remains resolute in her condemnation. Bhushan expresses regret over marrying Neil to Teju, while Manjari reminds everyone of the time Teju saved Neil’s life, advocating for her to be given a chance.
Rithu Raj enters the scene, further complicating matters by claiming that Teju is lying and suggesting that she was the one seeking to spend the night with him. Teju reacts by slapping him, prompting questions from Leena about her violent response. Teju confronts Rithu Raj, questioning his lack of fear for divine retribution. Rithu Raj maintains his innocence, reminding everyone that Nandini witnessed his attempts to establish boundaries. He accuses Teju of being the source of the family’s turmoil, insisting that it was her actions that revealed their supposed love affair.
Teju adamantly refutes his claims, asserting that she has rejected him and labeling him a liar. Rithu Raj, undeterred, reiterates his accusations, warning her not to raise her hand against him again before leaving the confrontation.
Desperate for validation, Teju pleads with the Pradhan family, insisting that Rithu Raj is lying and imploring them to believe her. She resolves to speak the truth to Neil herself. Jeetu advises her to retreat to her room and not to worry, but Teju remains steadfast in her determination to reach out to Neil.
In the meantime, Dr. Surwa receives alarming news from a colleague about a landslide affecting the village where Neil is currently working, trapping many individuals. Concerned for Neil’s safety, he immediately contacts the Pradhan family to relay the urgent information.
Dr. Surwa informs them of the landslide that has left Neil stranded. In a fit of anger, Leena blames Teju for Neil’s predicament, accusing her of disrespecting the Vatta Savitri Vrat by being in Rithu Raj’s room. Teju, feeling overwhelmed, insists that the focus should be on rescuing Neil first, asserting that she will prove her innocence later. Leena, however, refuses to budge, instructing Amai to go and bring Neil back.
Teju, desperate to accompany Amai, pleads for permission to join the rescue effort, but he mockingly declines. As tensions rise, Manjari suggests that Teju should go alone if no one else will accompany her. Just as Teju prepares to leave, Amruta and Nandini intervene, locking her in a room to prevent her from departing. Teju, distraught, reflects on her predicament and her longing for Neil’s presence.
Determined to escape and reach Konkan, Teju overhears Amai mentioning that he will take the car. Grateful for the opportunity, she thanks God for providing her with a potential way out.
