The episode begins with Lakshmi reminding Mukta to inform her children that the luxurious lifestyle they enjoyed with Mohit’s money is no longer available. She firmly states that she will not give up her bed to anyone.
Aditi offers to let Lakshmi keep the bed while she and the others sleep on the floor, but Lakshmi insists that Aditi should join her in the bed instead. Aditi, feeling a bit embarrassed, declines, saying she’ll manage to sleep on the floor. She then asks Teju if she can manage for one night on the floor, to which Teju agrees. Lakshmi further instructs Mukta and Teju to start taking over household chores from tomorrow, declaring that she won’t be doing any of it. Sonali interjects, explaining to Mukta that they’re not affluent anymore and that they will all need to pitch in together. Lakshmi brushes off Sonali’s comment, pointing out that Teju isn’t speaking up. However, Teju assures her mother that she will help with the chores and learn if she’s not familiar with them. Aditi offers to teach Teju how to handle household tasks before Sonali departs. As night falls, Mukta, her children, and Aditi end up sleeping on the floor. Vedant asks for a pillow, but Teju suggests he manage without one for the night and promises to get him one in the morning. Vedant accepts this.
Meanwhile, Amai, Nandini, Prachi, and Yash sneak into Neil’s room, where they find him absorbed in his phone. Yash accidentally trips and falls, drawing Neil’s attention, who quickly hides his phone. The group asks Neil why he appears troubled, particularly since returning from Amaravati. Neil dismisses their concerns, claiming there’s nothing wrong.
Nandini informs him that Leena mentioned he recently visited the family of someone who passed away, prompting them to inquire about who they are. Neil mentions there’s a woman and two children involved but questions why Nandini is so interested. Amai expresses their worry for the family, concerned about how they will cope.
As Aditi lies awake, memories of Mohit haunt her, stirring feelings of sorrow for not having seen his face one last time. Lakshmi, hearing Aditi, tells her to be quiet and sleep but later finds herself in tears as she reflects on Mohit as well.
Neil, frustrated by the conversation, asks Amai and the others not to make light of a serious matter. Nandini shifts the topic, asking if he’s ready for the wedding event tomorrow, but Neil snaps, expressing his irritation with the whole idea of marriage and questioning if there’s nothing else in life. Nandini apologizes for bringing it up, and as she turns to leave, Neil also apologizes for his outburst. Amai presses Neil to reveal what’s bothering him, but he remains tight-lipped.
The episode concludes with rising tension and unresolved emotions.
**Precap:** The following day, Neil’s family plans to attend a wedding at Mohit’s house to meet one of Satish’s daughters.
