The episode begins with Ira sneaking into Apollena’s room, feeling pleased to see that both Shlok and Apollena are sleeping apart. She secretly adds a chemical to Apollena’s lotion. Sarswati, noticing Ira leaving Shlok’s room, confronts her about her late-night activities and what she is hiding. Ira quickly pours the chemical on a nearby plant, watching it burn, and explains to Sarswati that she mixed the chemical into Apollena’s lotion to induce an allergic reaction when applied. Her goal is to sabotage Apollena’s fasting for Shlok, insisting that she will take the fast herself as Shlok’s future wife. Sarswati expresses her disdain for Apollena but warns Ira not to go too far in her scheme. Despite this, Sarswati ultimately supports Ira’s plan.
Later, Apollena is prepping herself and applying the lotion, while Ira observes nearby, confident that her scheme will work soon. Sarswati instructs Apollena to serve Shlok his favorite dishes, signaling to Ira as they smirk at each other. Just as Apollena is about to serve Ira, Sarswati interjects, claiming she doesn’t want Apollena to serve that food and insists on preparing something else. Apollena excuses herself to help Rupa, who seems to be lost in thought. Concerned, Apollena asks Rupa if something is troubling her, to which Rupa lies about fasting making her feel dull and asks for help preparing Laddo.
While Rupa and Apollena are busy making Laddo, Shlok encourages Apollena to taste the sweets, but Rupa reminds them that they’re fasting and can’t eat. Ira is observing Apollena closely, but when she sees no allergic reaction, she starts to feel itching and notices rashes developing on her body. Sarswati asks her what’s wrong, but Ira mumbles that it should have been Apollena suffering, not her. Sarswati quickly changes the subject. Apollena then insists that Ira take medicine for her reaction, but both Ira and Sarswati refuse. Shlok insists that she take the medicine, urging her to rest.
As Shlok reflects on how he witnessed Ira tampering with the lotion, he realizes he must protect Apollena. He discreetly switches the chemical for a safe lotion in order to take revenge on Ira, thinking he won’t allow her to harm Apollena. Apollena tries to convince Shlok to taste the Laddo, but he declines, claiming he is too full. He suggests that she eat in the canteen, where her father won’t see her, insisting she doesn’t need to fast for him. Apollena leaves after giving him a sharp retort, prompting Shlok to resolve to fast for her.
Ira complains to Sarswati, claiming she wants to rest, while an argument erupts between Apollena and Shlok. Sarswati overhears and lashes out at Apollena for not fasting, criticizing her upbringing. Apollena, losing her temper, defends herself, stating she hasn’t broken her fast and won’t tolerate insults against her parents. Sarswati demands that she prove her commitment by swearing on Shlok, insisting she needs to prepare for the upcoming puja.
Later on, Ira meets with a snake charmer, planning to acquire a venomous snake to eliminate Apollena once and for all.
