The episode begins with Apollena taking part in the wedding rituals with Shlok when Girdar arrives, visibly disturbed. He questions Apollena about what’s happening and confronts his mother, asking why she is taking part in this without informing him. Girdar expresses concern about what seems to be his daughter’s predicament. Dadi tries to calm the situation, but Girdar accuses them of proceeding with Apollena’s wedding without his consent, suggesting that Mahadev is pressuring her into marrying Shlok. Apollena looks on helplessly as Girdar expresses his outrage.
Girdar insists that he doesn’t approve of the marriage, claiming that Shlok is unworthy and that Apollena has many dreams that are being ruined. He argues heatedly with Dadi, who informs him that they are nearly finished with the wedding—only one ritual remains. Meanwhile, Mahadev senses the urgency of the situation and worries that Apollena might reveal the truth to Girdar, prompting him to call a lawyer to help execute his plan.
Girdar turns to Apollena, urging her to speak the truth and confirming his belief that she is reluctant to marry Shlok and is being forced into it. He had come immediately after Vaishali informed him that Apollena was in trouble. As Apollena hesitates, Mahadev whispers threats to her about her father’s recent release on bail, warning her of the consequences if Girdar learns too much. He exerts pressure on her to marry Shlok and manipulate Girdar.
Girdar urges Apollena not to go through with the forced marriage and offers to take her home. However, Apollena refuses, prompting Girdar to question her motivations. He blames Shlok for the situation. Mahadev interjects, suggesting that Apollena is in love with Shlok, and she reluctantly nods in acknowledgment. In a fit of anger, Girdar shatters a nearby telescope, expressing his disappointment in Apollena for lying to him. He tries to understand her relationship with Shlok, but she falsely claims there is nothing between them.
Girdar, deeply hurt, recounts how he fought for her and dreamed of a bright future for her, including aspirations for her to become an astronaut. He struggles to grasp her choices and the direction her life has taken. As the wedding rituals resume, Shlok and Apollena complete the final rites, with Shlok placing the nuptial chain around her neck and filling her hairline with vermilion. They seek blessings from their parents, but Girdar refuses to bless them, declaring his hatred for Shlok for ruining his daughter’s life.
Mahadev interjects, stating that Shlok is now his son-in-law and that Girdar’s disrespect towards Apollena is unacceptable. Frustrated, Girdar storms out. Madhu offers her blessings to Apollena but adds that she cannot forgive her for betraying her father. Neil turns his face away, disapproving of the situation. Mahadev escorts the newlyweds away as Girdar continues to fume.
Later, Saraswati creates a scene, refusing to perform the aarti for Apollena, leading to an argument with Mahadev. Neighboring onlookers gossip negatively about Apollena, which prompts her to leave in anger. Shlok, concerned, follows her and confronts her about her complaints, with Apollena voicing her frustration about being forced into the marriage by his father.
The episode concludes with the tension hanging between them as Apollena expresses her grievances.
