The episode begins with Saraswati confronting Apollena, declaring that she won’t leave her side if anything happens to Ira. Apollena reassures her, saying that she’ll take full responsibility for the situation. As she attempts to make ice in the freezer with hot water, Saraswati mocks her. Mahadev interjects, reminding Saraswati that Apollena is educated and knows what she’s doing. Concerned, Saraswati rushes to check on Ira, while Rupa informs Apollena that Ira’s bleeding has stopped. Apollena quickly wraps Ira’s injured hand in cloth, stressing the need for a doctor to arrive within fifteen minutes; otherwise, they may have to amputate her hand.
Saraswati continues to ridicule Apollena, insisting she will fetch ice. Shlok intervenes, offering to call the doctor and get the ice from the freezer. He is successful, bringing it back just as Saraswati starts to realize that Apollena’s approach might actually work. When the doctor arrives, he commends Apollena for her quick thinking and instructs everyone to step outside as he prepares to treat Ira, given the severity of the situation.
Mahadev praises Apollena for her cleverness, noting that her quick action saved Ira’s life. However, Saraswati retorts that Mahadev cares more about his reputation than Ira’s life, implying that if they had taken Ira to the hospital, Apollena wouldn’t have had to intervene. The doctor calls for Shlok to come inside, which surprises Apollena. Saraswati claims that Shlok is her best friend and knows everything about Ira, suggesting that Apollena might be the reason for Ira’s condition. Apollena defends herself, stating that she wasn’t aware of what Ira was doing.
As tension escalates, Shlok steps in, accusing Apollena of being behind Ira’s troubles. Mahadev ushers the doctor outside, and Saraswati expresses regret that she couldn’t say anything to Ira. Apollena insists she spoke the truth because Ira deserved it. A conversation unfolds about the events of the previous day, with Shlok expressing concern over Apollena being late for college and urging her to attend.
Despite the commotion, Apollena leaves the room, and Ira calls Shlok. Saraswati reprimands Ira for her actions, saying she didn’t consider the impact of her choices on their family. As Saraswati prepares to feed Ira soup, she notices Shlok stepping in to do so himself, causing Ira to gaze at him appreciatively.
Apollena observes from a distance, feeling unsettled by Shlok’s strange behavior. She witnesses him tending to Ira and thinks that Ira is taking advantage of Shlok’s good nature, feeling robbed of her place in his life. Lost in thought, Apollena burns her hand accidentally, prompting Vaishali to express her concern. Apollena admits she was lost in her thoughts, questioning why she hasn’t removed Ira from the house. Vaishali urges her not to ignore her own feelings, reminding her that she deserves to protect herself.
Apollena asserts that she would have expelled Ira if it were a normal situation, but Shlok’s support for Ira complicates matters. Vaishali urges her not to give up on Shlok, insisting she should hold on to what’s hers. Eventually, Apollena returns home and demands that Ira leave the house, stating that she no longer has a claim to stay. Ira defiantly reminds her that she is the daughter-in-law of this home and Shlok’s wife.
