The episode opens with a tense atmosphere as Teju desperately pleads with Leena to open the door, her voice filled with urgency and emotion. Rituraj, sensing the futility of the situation, tries to intervene, suggesting that further attempts may be pointless. Finally, Leena relents and opens the door, her demeanor sharp and confrontational. She immediately questions Teju’s motives, accusing her of creating unnecessary drama. As Vinod attempts to voice his opinion, Leena quickly cuts him off, making it clear that she has no interest in hearing from anyone at that moment.
Neil, witnessing the escalating tension, steps in to confront Leena about her behavior. He reminds her that he, too, has a voice and deserves to be heard. Leena, feeling cornered, lashes out, accusing Neil of siding with Teju ever since her return home. Neil, hurt and frustrated, responds with a poignant remark, expressing that he feels as though he no longer recognizes his own mother. In a bitter retort, Leena reveals her own feelings of loss, stating that she no longer recognizes herself since Neil’s marriage, warning him that he should be prepared for her to become a stranger in his life.
Meanwhile, the scene shifts to a more volatile confrontation as Mukta intervenes to stop Satish from physically assaulting Juhi. With a fierce determination, Mukta warns Satish never to raise his hand against Juhi again. Satish, unwilling to back down, retaliates by accusing Mukta and Teju of constantly meddling in Neil’s affairs. He blames Mukta for encouraging Teju to step forward when Juhi fled the wedding venue. Undeterred, Mukta stands her ground, threatening to call the police if Satish ever lays a hand on Juhi again. She asserts that Juhi has every right to stay in the house, declaring it her home. At this moment, Prajakta enters, bringing Juhi inside and adding to the charged atmosphere.
Back in the living room, Vinod confronts Leena about her intense dislike for Teju. Leena, her voice dripping with resentment, reveals that she had only one request for Neil—not to marry Teju—but he ignored her plea and went ahead with the marriage. Jeetu and other family members join the conversation, pressing Leena for an explanation regarding her hatred. Rituraj chimes in, suggesting that it’s a matter of values, and later accuses Neil and Teju of forcing Juhi out and proceeding with their wedding plans. Teju, feeling cornered, defends herself, but Leena interrupts, accusing her of causing chaos since her arrival. With a final warning to the Pradhan family, Leena insists that Teju will ultimately break them apart and slams the door shut, leaving a palpable tension in the air.
Later, in a more reflective moment, Teju changes her dress and finds herself lost in thought. She recalls the circumstances surrounding her forced marriage to Neil, feeling a wave of sadness wash over her. In a silent moment of frustration, she thinks back to Mohit’s advice and attempts to calm her racing thoughts. Determined to reclaim her sense of self, she wipes away her tears and resolves to fight for her dreams, refusing to let her current situation define her.
As Teju gathers her thoughts, Manjari arrives, noticing her disheveled appearance and offering assistance to help her prepare for the upcoming party. Manjari expresses her happiness that Neil married the one he loves, even if others are unhappy with the situation. She acknowledges Teju’s pain and encourages her, assuring her that everything will eventually be alright. In a moment of vulnerability, Teju opens up about her shattered dreams—she had aspirations of completing her studies, securing a job to support her family, and pursuing her passion for singing.
Manjari, ever the supportive figure, reassures Teju that her dreams are still within reach and suggests that Neil could be her greatest ally in achieving them. However, Teju firmly asserts that these are her dreams to fulfill, and she doesn’t need Neil’s support. She criticizes Neil for always conforming to the expectations of others, implying that he lacks the courage to pursue his own desires. Manjari attempts to explain Neil’s character, emphasizing that he tends to prioritize others over himself, which is why he behaves the way he does. She urges Teju to consider giving their relationship a chance.
Teju, however, remains resolute in her stance, stating that she cannot forgive someone who manipulated and blackmailed her into this marriage, despite her clear objections. Manjari, visibly upset by Teju’s unwillingness to see the good in Neil, expresses her hope that one day Teju will recognize Neil’s true nature. Teju counters this sentiment by asserting that she has more faith in herself than in anyone else, firmly declaring that she will never forgive Neil for his actions.
