The episode begins with UV confronting Eshwar, making it clear that he has no intention of getting married. Eshwar, unfazed, taunts him, suggesting that if UV were to marry the girl he has chosen for him, he would finally be able to open his café. This remark ignites a fury within UV, who firmly asserts that he will marry only the woman his mother selects for him. Eshwar, sensing UV’s defiance, inquires about his mother’s whereabouts, pressing him to think practically about the situation. He insists that UV should accept his deal if he wants to reopen his café.
In a fit of anger, UV shouts at Eshwar, accusing him of blackmail. Eshwar, maintaining his calm demeanor, tells UV that he will not allow him to open his café anywhere unless he agrees to the terms of their deal. UV, feeling cornered, questions Eshwar’s motives but receives no satisfactory response. Eshwar encourages him to reconsider, but UV stands firm in his refusal before storming out of the room. Eshwar watches him leave with a sly smile, confident that he has the upper hand.
As UV retreats to his room, he becomes emotional, grappling with his frustration over the café and the pressure from Eshwar’s deal. He seeks solace in his memories of his mother, hoping for her guidance in this challenging time. Thoughts of his café’s past flood his mind, reminding him of the struggles he has faced.
Meanwhile, Rukhmani approaches Eshwar, inquiring about his conversation with UV. Eshwar reveals that he knows UV will reject his marriage proposal, which visibly upsets Rukhmani. She chastises Eshwar for upsetting her son and demands to know the identity of the girl he has chosen for UV. Eshwar refuses to divulge any details, cryptically stating that if UV is like water, then the girl he envisions for him is like oil. Rukhmani, frustrated, admonishes Eshwar for attempting to ruin UV’s life, pointing out that oil and water cannot mix.
To illustrate his point, Eshwar instructs Nathu Lal to bring water, oil, and a spoon. Once Nathu Lal returns with the items, Eshwar demonstrates how oil and water can coexist in a container. He insists that if they play the role of the spoon, both UV and the girl he has chosen will find a way to get along. Rukhmani, still agitated, pleads with Eshwar to reveal the girl’s identity, but he remains resolute in his refusal.
In another part of the house, Ambika takes Om and Ash aside, urging them to share any information they might have about UV’s potential marriage. Both boys claim ignorance, but Ambika refuses to accept their answers. She fears losing her properties if UV marries and vows to prevent him and his future wife from gaining any of the family assets.
The next day, Katha finds herself lost in thoughts about a conversation she had with Mohan and Vandana the previous night, which leaves her feeling anxious. She struggles with the dilemma of how to decline the marriage proposal that has been put forth. Naina arrives and notices Katha’s restlessness, questioning her about it. Katha, reluctant to share her feelings, reassures Naina that her return is not the cause of her distress. Just then, they hear Vandana calling for Katha, and they rush outside, where they are shocked to see Mohan in poor health. The family gathers as the doctor arrives and advises them to keep Mohan happy, emphasizing the importance of reducing his stress.
Later, Katha reflects on what she can do to keep Mohan stress-free, contemplating her options.

Meanwhile, UV informs Eshwar of his decision to accept the proposal for the girl of Eshwar’s choosing. Eshwar, pleased with UV’s agreement, plans to arrange the wedding as soon as possible. At the same time, Mohan resolves to reveal the identity of Katha’s future husband to her, setting the stage for an impending revelation that could change everything.
