The episode opens with Girdar advising Apollena to stay away from Vaishali and Shlok, suggesting that they are not suitable company for her. Apollena nods in agreement, but Dadi interjects, asserting that Apollena is grown-up enough to meet various people and make her own decisions about right and wrong. She encourages Apollena to prepare quickly, as they are headed to meet the Mahadev family.
Later, Shlok is conversing with Irani, who questions why he is standing up for Apollena. She wonders if he would have supported her if their roles were reversed. Shlok insists that he would help without hesitation, and Irani brings him back to a better mood. Sarswati admires their connection and urges Shlok to get ready before Girdar’s family arrives. She then asks Irani if she has feelings for Shlok, causing Irani to blush. Sarswati expresses that she has no objections to their budding romance and puts a bangle on Irani’s wrist as a gesture of approval. Irani leaves, feeling joyful while Sarswati takes pride in finding a suitable partner for her son.
As the Mahadev family welcomes Girdar’s family, Madhu asks Rupa if she needs help with the preparations, but Sarswati reminds her that they have servants for that. Madhu is given sweets by Mahadev to share. Girdar tells Mahadev that his mother and wife will visit Apollena weekly because they will miss her dearly. Dadi chimes in, pointing out that Girdar was the one who sent his daughter away to study; otherwise, she could enjoy home-cooked meals. Girdar responds that he cannot take risks with her education.
Mahadev offers Girdar a home in Kanpur for Apollena, but Girdar seems confused by this offer. Mahadev reassures him that they are good friends and could become excellent relatives if he consents to Apollena marrying Shlok. However, Girdar is taken aback when Mahadev asks for Apollena’s hand. Mahadev explains that though Shlok is currently unemployed, he will manage the family business and take care of everything, so Girdar should not worry about the future.
Girdar protests, stating that money and pedigree do not define everything. Dadi supports Shlok’s approach, pointing out that Girdar doesn’t know how to respond when faced with something unexpected. Girdar maintains that there’s no misunderstanding: Shlok and Apollena are not meant to be, claiming that Apollena has excelled academically and has never been a burden. He doubts Shlok’s passion and ability to handle responsibilities if anything happens to his shop. Saraswati’s friends overhear this exchange, and Girdar firmly refuses to give Apollena’s hand in marriage to Shlok.
Dadi scolds Girdar for his remarks, but he insists he understands Shlok. Mahadev then asks Apollena for her thoughts, and she supports her father’s stance, stating she has no other opinion on the matter. Girdar takes her away, and Sarswati scolds her husband for asking for Apollena’s hand. Mahadev defends his actions, saying that while he may have been harsh about his son, he believes Apollena is a good match for Shlok. He assures her that he will find a deserving partner for their son.
Later, Girdar confronts Apollena about her feelings for Shlok, and she firmly tells him she doesn’t have any romantic feelings towards him. Meanwhile, Apollena updates Shlok about the situation, leading him to create a scene at home, determined to leave for London. The following day, the CBI arrives to arrest Girdar, claiming that Pallavi has not returned to jail.
