The episode opens with the CBI confronting Girdar, revealing that he was the guarantor for Pallavi, who has yet to surrender at the police station, and her parole has expired. They insist they will not leave until she turns herself in. Dadi intervenes, asserting she won’t allow them to arrest her son, pointing out that he was taken before without evidence. The CBI officer warns Dadi that she could also face arrest for obstructing their duty. Meanwhile, Madhu tries to reach Apollena, but her line is busy. The police take Girdar away, leaving Neil confused and questioning Madhu about the situation. She explains everything to him, prompting Neil to inform Apollena that he and Madhu are heading to Delhi, while Apollena assures them that she will stay with Dadi.
Meanwhile, Saraswati updates Mahadev about Vedh’s delayed arrival at the shop, mentioning the visit of some guests. Just then, Rastogi and Irani arrive, and Saraswati greets them. Rastogi inquires why she has placed a bangle on Irani’s wrist, sensing there’s a significant reason behind it.
Saraswati reveals that she intends to betroth Irani to Shlok, which elicits surprise. Mahadev argues that their friendship does not guarantee compatibility. Saraswati insists Mahadev doesn’t understand their unique bond. Rastogi adds that she wants to align her daughter with a family of reputable standing. Although there is an established class gap, Irani is vocal about her love for Shlok. Rastogi decides to discuss the matter with her husband and leaves. Mahadev chastises Saraswati for jeopardizing their family’s reputation, to which she retorts that he didn’t seem concerned when Girdar disgraced him. Mahadev insists that Irani is a poor choice for Shlok, contending that Apollena is the one who can guide him properly.
Meanwhile, Apollena consults with a lawyer, who tells her that this is a high-profile case requiring strict procedural adherence. He emphasizes the need for someone with connections to ministers.
Later, Shlok speaks with Manish about obtaining a visa. Manish suggests posting statements against their home country to facilitate the process. Mahadev, overhearing this, accuses Manish of trying to sabotage Shlok’s future and storms away. Shlok defends himself, insisting they’re not asking for anything illegal. Mahadev had previously vowed to protect Shlok’s future. Saraswati then takes Shlok away, concerned about the escalating tension.
Later, Apollena shares with Dadi that they do not have anyone with ministerial connections to help them. Dadi suggests that Mahadev might assist, but Renuka reminds them that he refused Shlok’s alliance, making him an unlikely ally. Dadi remains hopeful and insists on accompanying Apollena to meet Mahadev.
In another scene, Neil chastises the lawyer for failing to secure a meeting with his father and expresses frustration that they paid them for better service. Girdar urges Neil not to pressure the lawyer, emphasizing that they managed to arrange a visit. Girdar also stresses the importance of keeping Apollena focused on her studies and away from this chaos.
Meanwhile, Shlok’s frustration boils over as he breaks things in anger, resolved to go to London. Saraswati insists she will sort everything out and discusses Shlok’s potential alliance with Irani, which leaves him bewildered. He asserts that he doesn’t love Irani, referring to her as “bro,” and insists that while he cares for her as a friend, he has no romantic feelings. Shlok accuses his mother of misunderstanding him, feeling neglected like he does by his father. As tension escalates, he confronts Rastogi for insulting his mother. Just then, Apollena enters, adding to the mounting drama.
The episode concludes with the family dynamics in disarray, setting the stage for further conflicts and revelations.
