The episode begins with Apollena happily preparing dishes for Shlok, confident that her mother’s advice has improved her cooking. She calls Shlok, inquiring about his arrival, to which he teasingly replies that he’ll be home by evening. Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Ira struggles with her cooking, prompting Saraswati to come and assist her.
As Apollena sees Shlok enter the house, they continue their phone conversation. Shlok is about to taste the Kadhi when Apollena insists he wait until it’s served. She mentions a challenge from his friend, expressing her confidence in winning. Apollena then suggests that he freshen up before dinner. Saraswati prepares Kadha, assuring Ira that Shlok will love it, which makes Ira feel pleased.
Later, Apollena serves Kadha to both Shlok and Saraswati, but Saraswati humorously remarks that it’s not very good, jokingly suggesting it might land Shlok in the hospital again. Ira enters, claiming that she made her own version of Kadha specifically tailored to Shlok’s taste. Saraswati praises Ira’s Kadha and encourages Shlok to try hers, while Apollena is left puzzled by the negative feedback on her dish, unaware that Ira was behind the sabotage.
After tasting both preparations, Shlok compliments Ira but declares that Apollena’s Kadha is the best and insists she should make it for him from now on. Enjoying Apollena’s cooking, he requests a plate to be brought to their room so they can eat together. Apollena happily agrees, while Shlok subtly scolds Ira for her interference.
In their room, Apollena wonders how her Kadha turned dark, expressing happiness that Shlok enjoyed it. She shares that she followed her mother’s recipe closely. Meanwhile, Shlok distracts her from tasting her own dish. Madhu calls Apollena to inquire about the Kadha, and she relays that Shlok liked it. Madhu then tells Shlok that Apollena got the recipe from her.
During the call, Apollena unknowingly tries the Kadha and finds it unpleasant. She asks Shlok why he claimed to enjoy it. Shlok reassures her that her efforts mean more to him than the flavor. Ira witnesses this and decides to teach Appu a lesson with her next scheme.
Ira sets a doll on fire, prompting Saraswati to inquire why. Ira admits she tampered with Appu’s Kadha but notes that Shlok still appreciated it. She accuses Appu of practicing black magic on Shlok. Roopa advises Ira to abandon her superstitions, leading Saraswati to dismiss Roopa.
Later, Shlok surprises Apollena with a morpankh (peacock feather) as a charm for luck. Apollena dismisses it as mere superstition, which frustrates Shlok. Understanding his feelings, Apollena accepts the gift, stating she believes in his good fortune rather than the morpankh. Meanwhile, Ira and Saraswati visit a Tantrik to expose Apollena and protect Shlok.
