The episode opens with Girdar reviewing paperwork, confirming to Neil that everything is in order, including the bail documents. As the court officials arrive, Girdar presents the papers, only to be informed that they are not there to arrest him; instead, they have come to clear him from the case. They reveal that he was wrongfully charged because Pallavi failed to arrive at the police station on time. This news prompts Girdar to express hope that Pallavi is back. He reassures Madhu that Pallavi is not a malicious person and likely got caught up in unforeseen circumstances that day. Girdar’s relief turns to shock when Pallavi’s sister shows him her ashes.
She explains to Girdar that Pallavi was on her way to the court when she had an accident, and now she has returned to perform the final rites. She also states that had she known about Girdar’s arrest, she would have cleared up the misunderstanding in court. Girdar’s heart breaks at the loss of Pallavi, while Madhu grapples with guilt for doubting her.
In another storyline, Apollena takes notes while Rupa offers guidance. Shlok announces he will cook for everyone and asks Vedh to assist him to make a good impression. Meanwhile, Sarswati serves food to Mahadev, who praises its flavor but reminds Shlok to focus on business. When Shlok declines, citing his passion, Apollena suggests opening a restaurant, but Vedh warns against investing in such ventures too soon. Undeterred, Apollena proposes a tiffin service, but Mahadev believes it could tarnish his reputation.
When Apollena brings up the idea of doing it in London, Mahadev dismisses her and leaves. Later, as Shlok washes dishes, Apollena apologizes for raising the London topic. Shlok snaps at her, accusing her of wanting a divorce without caring about his feelings, and storms off in frustration. Apollena is left feeling helpless, wishing she could convey her love for him and her desire to stay married.
Meanwhile, Girdar confides his sorrow about Pallavi to Madhu, feeling remorse for not understanding her situation. Madhu encourages him to seek someone with Pallavi’s qualities, but Girdar insists no one can replace her. Madhu points out his daughter, but Girdar rejects the idea, believing she has chosen love over her dreams. Yet Madhu reminds him that she married Shlok for his sake.
As the episode comes to a close, Apollena and Shlok both hesitate to voice their true feelings for each other, while Madhu reveals to Girdar the truth that Mahadev pressured Apollena into marrying Shlok.
