The episode begins with Shlok spotting Varun bringing a friend to their house and anticipating trouble. Rastogi arrives with her friends and notices one of Shlok’s friends from London. She excitedly announces to her friends that it seems Saraswati has hired a foreigner to teach English. Rastogi offers Indian sweets to Shlok’s friend, who responds in Hindi, prompting Rastogi to joke that the girl learned Hindi first to teach it.
Shlok questions Varun about why he brought his friend, to which Varun explains that Lizzi has returned to London, and her roommate came along, having heard he was attending the puja. Shlok feels frustrated by this development. Rupa then asks Varun if this girl is his foreign girlfriend, which he quickly denies, claiming she’s not his type and that girls are lining up to see him.
Meanwhile, Girdar tells Apollena about the long wait ahead for her admission, and she decides to stay. Vaishali hugs Apollena and praises her for winning a prize in a quiz competition, confidently stating that she will ace her JEE exams. Girdar mentions that Apollena got 121st rank, while Vaishali got 230th, and they both appreciate each other’s accomplishments.
Saraswati questions Shlok about bringing his friend to the puja, but he explains that she came of her own accord to learn about their traditions. Saraswati understands but points out that his friend isn’t dressed appropriately for the occasion. She reminds him that Mahadev has been meticulously creating the kolam since the morning and is deeply focused on it. Saraswati warns Shlok to ensure his friend doesn’t disrupt the puja.
Just as Shlok notices his friend about to step on the kolam, he rushes to stop her, but Mahadev gets angry, scolding Shlok for inviting her. Shlok defends his decision, stating he has the right to bring friends into their home.
Mahadev expresses disappointment over Shlok’s friend’s attire, criticizing the lack of respect for their culture and traditions, and accusing them of treating their rituals as mere entertainment for social media. Shlok argues that he should be able to invite friends without causing issues. Mahadev firmly warns him against creating problems during the puja.
Later, Apollena receives provisional admission and presents the form to Girdar, who questions her about it. Vaishali explains that her board exam results aren’t out yet, but if she scores 75%, she’ll secure a seat. Apollena worries about her chances, but Vaishali and Girdar encourage her. Girdar suggests visiting Mahadev’s house since he has invited them.
When Girdar steps away on an errand, Apollena crosses paths with Shlok’s friend, leading to an accident where she stumbles onto the kolam and blames Apollena. Shlok asks his friend what she’s doing there, and she reveals that she was the person he was looking for. Mahadev chastises Shlok again for inviting his friend, and Saraswati and Shlok place blame on Apollena, who confidently defends herself.
Mahadev refers to the significance of the kolam, claiming no one can replicate it like he does. In a bold move, Apollena calculates the dots and challenges him to draw it in 15 minutes.
