As Shlok drives, Apollena notices his eyelids growing heavy and realizes he’s about to doze off. Reacting quickly, she splashes water on his face, startling him awake. Grateful, Shlok admits that he’s been preoccupied with worry about his mother’s health and has no idea how she’s doing. Apollena comforts him, urging him not to stress, assuring him that they will reach their destination as quickly as possible.
Meanwhile, Saraswati lies uncomfortably in bed while Ira insists she stay put. Shlok, noticing his mother’s distress, scolds Ira for making her lie down. His concern intensifies when he sees that Saraswati is buried under several blankets. When he asks Ira about it, she nervously explains that Saraswati is feeling cold. Apollena interjects, pointing out that Saraswati is actually sweating and that the excessive coverings are only raising her body temperature, risking her health further. Trusting Apollena’s expertise, Shlok instructs Ira to remove the blankets immediately.
In a panic, Ira quickly changes the subject and discreetly tucks an onion into her saree pleats. Rupa, who notices her strange behavior, decides to keep quiet for the moment. Soon, a doctor arrives to examine Saraswati, explaining that the fever is likely a side effect of her injury. He recommends placing a wet towel on her forehead to help bring the temperature down.
Later, as Shlok and Apollena are talking, she steps away to get some water. Ira attempts to slip away as well, but Rupa catches her, demanding to know what she was up to. Displaying the onion, Rupa confronts Ira about her intentions toward Saraswati’s health. Ira dismisses it casually, mentioning that Saraswati had been with her. Rupa warns her that meddling with her mother’s health could lead to severe consequences. Unfazed, Ira smirks and claims her plan has already succeeded.
Just then, Shlok walks back in. Ira turns to Rupa, smugly revealing that she knows why she met with Sneha earlier that day—she holds Rupa’s darkest secret. She threatens to expose everything to the family if Rupa dares to speak out, effectively trapping her. At that moment, Apollena returns and demands to know what’s happening. Ira quickly concocts an excuse and exits, leaving Rupa to caution Apollena to be vigilant around Ira, who would stop at nothing for her selfish desires, even if it meant coming between Apollena and Shlok.
As Apollena moves about, she catches sight of Ira holding Shlok’s hand. Before she can respond, Ira purposefully shoves her in a bid to make her stumble. However, thanks to her martial arts training, Apollena regains her balance and unexpectedly prevents Ira from falling instead. With a confident smile, she tells Ira that she’s strong and fit, contrasting her with Ira’s more fragile demeanor. With that, she walks away without another word.
That night, Apollena remains by Saraswati’s side, diligently placing wet cloths on her forehead. Meanwhile, Rupa is deep in thought, troubled by how Ira discovered her secret. She recalls her meeting with Sneha, who revealed heart-wrenching news: the test results were negative, confirming Rupa’s infertility and her inability to become a mother. Sneha questioned why Rupa never revealed this to her family before her wedding. Rupa admitted she never found the right moment.
Unbeknownst to Rupa, Ira secretly video-called Sneha and witnessed their entire conversation. Now, Ira takes the opportunity to confront Rupa, explaining exactly how she learned the truth and warning her that she must comply if she wants to keep her secret safe. Enraged, Rupa smashes her phone in frustration.
Later that night, Apollena continues to care for Saraswati. Observing her fatigue, Shlok insists that she take a break. Apollena brushes him off, insisting she needs to pack her things for her move to the hostel. Disappointed but silent, Shlok watches her. The next morning, Saraswati wakes up sensing something is amiss. She turns to Shlok, demanding he swear to tell her the whole truth, accusing him of deceiving her.
The episode concludes on this tense note, leaving viewers eager to see what will unfold next.
