The episode opens with Saraswati questioning Apollena about her frequent calls to Shlok. With her hand bleeding, Saraswati insists Shlok should stay with her instead. Determined to keep Shlok from accompanying Apollena to Chitrakoot, Saraswati messages Irani, asking her to send Apollena back to her maternal home. Ira advises Saraswati to switch off Shlok’s phone, promising to handle the rest. Saraswati plans to do whatever is necessary to ensure Shlok doesn’t go with Apollena. To grab Shlok’s attention, she pretends to wince in pain.
Meanwhile, Ira snaps a picture of Shlok, reflecting on how much she loves him and her possessiveness towards him. She vows to do whatever it takes to keep him in her life.
In the kitchen, Dadi is preparing Shlok’s favorite meal, recalling how much he enjoyed Madhu’s cooking last time. Madhu presents Dadi with a gift and Renuka chips in with bangles for her. Neil watches, smiling, when Renuka asks Girdar what he will give Dadi. He remains silent. At that moment, Lali enters and inquires about the commotion. Bittu innocently blurts out that Madhu is preparing gifts for Apollena to send to her in-laws.
Lali questions when Apollena got married, implying it was done secretly, hinting at a potential scandal. Girdar expresses frustration over Lali’s negativity. Neil defends Apollena, acknowledging he pretends to be angry, but he still loves her and cannot tolerate anyone speaking ill of his daughter. Madhu agrees, but Lali continues her criticism. As tensions rise, Dadi tries to intervene, almost slapping Lali.
Girdar feels a deep sense of disappointment as Lali walks away. He resolves to find the perfect gift for Apollena. Meanwhile, Madhu informs Apollena about Girdar’s anger and that people are speaking ill of her. To comfort her, Madhu lies, suggesting that Shlok will accompany her back, hoping to ease her worries.
Meanwhile, Ira sends Apollena to her maternal home, but not without a sinister plan; she plants a bomb in Apollena’s car, believing this is the punishment for taking Shlok away from her. Irani’s dark thoughts reveal her intent to permanently separate Apollena from Shlok, laughing to herself at the prospect.
As Apollena attempts to speak with her mother, she struggles with a poor network connection. Shlok returns home with Saraswati, where Ira feigns concern for him, while Saraswati privately compares Ira to Apollena. When Shlok retrieves his phone from his mother, he notices numerous missed calls, prompting Saraswati to subtly blackmail him. He quickly makes an excuse to leave the room. Ira then asks Sarswati if she hopes to see Shlok again, to which Saraswati nods. Ira ominously hints that she will ensure she’s removed from Shlok’s life for good.
On the road, Apollena’s car comes to a stop due to a blockage, and the driver steps out to check the issue. Just then, Madhu calls Apollena, and in a sudden twist, the car explodes.
In the aftermath, Girdar conducts final rituals for Apollena at home, leaving his family in shock. Shlok arrives at the scene, horrified to learn that his car was involved in the explosion and that Apollena was inside. Overwhelmed with grief, he breaks down in tears.
The episode ends on this heartbreaking note.
