The episode begins with Eshwar fervently praying for divine assistance in arranging the marriage between UV and Katha. He believes that this union could bring about positive change for both families. As Eshwar contemplates his plans, he overhears a conversation that UV is having over the phone, which prompts him to decide that he must take action to put an end to whatever UV is plotting.
UV soon arrives and inquires about Eshwar’s recent prayer request after closing his café for the day. Eshwar, sensing UV’s confusion, taunts him lightly but then addresses Rukhmani and other family members, insisting that they should not try to stop him as he is heading out for an important reason. This only deepens UV’s confusion, leading him to question Rukhmani about Eshwar’s intentions. Rukhmani, however, tries to brush him off, claiming ignorance about Eshwar’s plans. UV then turns to Harshvardan for answers, but Harshvardan also admits that he is in the dark regarding Eshwar’s motives. Meanwhile, Vinith expresses his suspicions to Ambika, suggesting that Eshwar is indeed planning UV’s marriage. Ambika, worried about the implications of a new daughter-in-law joining their household, fears that it would lower their family values and resolves to take action to prevent the wedding.
Determined to uncover Eshwar’s intentions, UV again presses Rukhmani for information. Feeling cornered, Rukhmani uses Pratty as an excuse to escape UV’s inquiries. Pratty, trying to diffuse the situation, tells UV to calm down, asserting that he will eventually discover the secret due to his background as a police officer. This comment draws the ire of UV’s cousins, who urge him to be quiet. UV expresses his frustration to his cousins, vowing that he will not allow Eshwar to dictate his life by selecting a bride for him, insisting instead that Eshwar should choose someone who is a nerd. His cousins react with disapproval, making faces at the idea.
Meanwhile, at Katha’s home, Mohan is in a rush to meet Eshwar but is halted by Naina, who notices that his shirt button is missing. She goes inside to fetch a needle and thread to help him. Vandana seizes the moment to inform Mohan about Naina’s efforts to mend their relationship, but Mohan is skeptical, stating that it is impossible to return to how things once were. As Naina stitches Mohan’s shirt, Katha enters with items for the nazar ritual, believing it is necessary after the events of the previous day. Vandana scolds Katha for her behavior, asserting that her future partner should not have to endure such antics. Katha firmly retorts that she has no intention of marrying, expressing her belief that all men are untrustworthy. She then offers Mohan advice before he leaves for work.
Meanwhile, UV, resolute in his quest to uncover Eshwar’s plans, follows him and witnesses Eshwar enjoying some sweets. UV confronts Eshwar, then snaps a picture of him, vowing to use it to his advantage at the right moment before he departs. Later, when Mohan meets with Eshwar, he is taken aback when Eshwar proposes the idea of fixing UV and Katha’s marriage. Mohan is visibly shocked by this revelation.
At college, UV vents his frustrations to his cousins about Eshwar’s secretive plan, prompting Omi to advise him to concentrate on his upcoming meeting with the board members. UV agrees to refocus his efforts. In a chance encounter, UV accidentally bumps into Katha, causing her to drop her book. Their mutual annoyance leads to a heated exchange, with Katha harshly criticizing UV before storming off. In retaliation, UV disparages Katha, claiming that anyone who marries her will lead a miserable life, eliciting laughter from his cousins.
Back at the meeting with Eshwar, Mohan attempts to share Katha’s backstory, including her complicated relationship with her mother. However, he struggles to convey Katha’s deep-seated hatred for men, fearing Eshwar’s reaction. Eshwar reassures Mohan that he will cover all expenses related to the wedding and encourages him to support the proposal, expressing his confidence that Katha will have a transformative effect on UV and his cousins. Mohan, feeling trapped, wonders how he can reveal Katha’s feelings about men to Eshwar without jeopardizing the situation.
