The episode begins with Gauri reflecting on the hurtful remarks made by Vihaan and his mother, feeling deeply wounded by Vihaan’s words. As she steps outside, her sister calls to check on her. Gauri reassures her sister that she’s on her way, but suddenly she pauses on the road, sensing something strange, only to realize it’s just a figment of her imagination. She suspects it might be the after-effects of the medicine she’s been taking for the past year.
Meanwhile, Harsh and Arjun poke fun at Vihaan about Gauri, with Arjun asking why Vihaan gets so upset with her. Vihaan defends himself, stating that Gauri disrespected his mother, but Harsh counters that Vihaan’s mother was also disrespectful towards Gauri. Vihaan insists that his mother is always right and warns Arjun that if he keeps listening to his mother, he’ll end up single. He reaffirms his loyalty to his mother, leaving with his brothers while Pushpa hilariously dangles from a tree.
Back at home, Gauri prepares poha for breakfast just as her sister arrives to pick it up. Their aunt also stops by, tastes the dish, and expresses her displeasure about it. Gauri shares her excitement with her sister about getting admitted to a prestigious college, while Charu is thrilled to learn about Gauri’s hard work towards her education. However, Gauri soon learns that her aunt has taken money to allow Charu to dance at a wedding. Determined, Gauri vows to make sure Charu gets her education instead.
At college, Vihaan, who works as a lecturer, is surprised to see Gauri arrive for Charu’s admission. Gauri is taken aback by the hefty admission fees. During a class, Vihaan discusses the equality of men and women. When Gauri questions if a woman could drive a cab, her interruption leads to a confrontation. She calls out Vihaan’s outdated views on women, causing the girls in the class who were once enamored with him to turn against him. Vihaan confronts Gauri, demanding to know who she is and accusing her of ruining his reputation. Gauri, refusing to back down, reminds him of the disrespect his mother showed her, to which Vihaan retorts that she should avoid involving his mother. Tensions rise when Gauri warns him not to question her character, and Vihaan abruptly leaves after receiving a call from his grandmother.
Later at home, Vihaan finds a crowd of media outside his house, leading Harsh to question what has happened to Pushpa as she ages.
**Precap:** Vihaan challenges Gauri, claiming she can’t park a car, but when she successfully does so, it infuriates him.
