The episode begins with Angad anxiously waiting to interview the last candidate for a position in his company. He is focused and determined, unaware that Vrinda is the one who will be walking through the door. When Vrinda enters, Angad mistakenly assumes she is an older woman, referring to her as “aunty.” Vrinda, taken aback by the label, quickly corrects him, asserting that she is not an aunty. Both are shocked to see each other; Angad recognizes Vrinda from their past encounters, and Vrinda is equally surprised to find Angad in a position of authority over her potential employment. A heated argument ensues between them, filled with playful banter and their usual verbal sparring. Frustrated and feeling disrespected, Vrinda storms out of the interview room, leaving Angad bewildered and frustrated at the missed opportunity.
Meanwhile, Mihir is deep in thought as he uncovers a significant transaction of 10 lakhs. He turns to Hemant, who reveals that Tulsi has taken the money. Just then, Tulsi enters the room to deliver medicine to Mihir, and he seizes the moment to question her about the money. Tulsi explains that she took the money to secure a pendrive that holds crucial information. Mihir, disapproving of the bribe, expresses his frustration, arguing that it was wrong to engage in such dealings. Tulsi counters his accusations, reminding him of Viren’s past misdeeds, particularly how he mistreated Munni. This revelation triggers Mihir’s anger, and he chastises Tulsi for wasting their hard-earned money.
Tulsi, feeling hurt, takes Mihir’s words personally. She points out that he calls for his money, but she has none to give. She reveals the burden she carries, managing the household responsibilities without any salary. Mihir’s demeanor softens as he consoles her, assuring her that whatever he has is also hers. However, Tulsi insists that she feels stripped of her dignity, stating that the 10 lakhs represent her self-respect. Mihir, realizing the gravity of her feelings, apologizes sincerely and wipes her tears away. Their emotional moment is interrupted when Mihir receives a call from the factory, pulling him back to business.
In another part of the story, Pari takes Ajay’s phone and confronts him, expressing her frustration over how he handles her affairs. Ajay explains that Pari’s mother is worried because she hasn’t received the saree from her. He also apologizes for not entering the house without first meeting her mother, which adds to Pari’s stress as she finds herself caught in a web of new problems.
Back at home, Tulsi is busy packing Angad’s tiffin when she receives a call from Vrinda. Grateful for Tulsi’s earlier assistance, Vrinda informs her that she cannot join Angad’s company due to his presence. Tulsi, advocating for Vrinda, describes her as a hardworking girl, but Angad dismisses this, stating that Vrinda talks too much, which annoys him. In a bid to persuade Angad, Tulsi employs emotional blackmail, reminding him of Vrinda’s potential and work ethic. Reluctantly, Angad agrees to give Vrinda a chance, though he still harbors thoughts of revenge against her. Tulsi beams with happiness at Angad’s decision, but Angad’s underlying intentions remain.
Meanwhile, Pari is grappling with her feelings about Ranvijay. She tells him that she cannot meet him anymore because she is married, and her mother has seen her in a café with him. Just then, Priya enters the room without knocking, prompting Pari to change the subject quickly. Pari mentions that her friend wants to meet Priya, but Priya declines the invitation, insisting Pari should knock before entering her room. Priya then asks Pari to take her to the parlour, leading Pari to call Ranvijay and arrange to meet him outside the parlour.
Mihir is having a conversation with Balav Bhai, who praises Angad and Ritik for their hard work. Just then, Noina arrives with a business proposal for Mihir, catching him off guard since he has never done business with her before. Noina explains that she is helping a friend and seeks Mihir’s partnership. Intrigued, Mihir agrees to consider the deal. As Balav Bhai approaches Mihir to check the accounts, Mihir declines to look at them, feeling overwhelmed. Noina notices Mihir’s tension and presses him to share what’s bothering him. Mihir opens up about the 10 lakhs incident and his argument with Tulsi. Noina listens empathetically, suggesting that Tulsi should consult him before making significant decisions. She advises Mihir to handle the situation with sensitivity, acknowledging that women often feel undervalued. Noina insists that Mihir promise to share any problems he faces with her in the future.
As the rain pours heavily, Pari and Priya’s plans for the parlour are dashed. Just then, Ranvijay calls Pari, demanding 5 lakhs from her. He explains that he is in a difficult situation and pressures her to provide the money, leaving Pari feeling trapped and anxious.
Back at the office, Angad learns from his clerk that Vrinda is still waiting outside. He instructs the clerk to have her wait a moment longer. Vrinda, determined to prove herself, insists that she is there for a job, mentioning that she received a call from his office. Angad finally relents, inviting her in and officially hiring her. He makes it clear that he wants to keep their professional relationship strictly business, assigning her to a department where their paths won’t cross often.
Later, the Virani family, along with Noina, arrives at Ajay’s house for the Face Reveal rituals. Indrani serves snacks to the guests, and Priya encourages Angad to have a protein shake, but he dismisses her suggestion, asking her to serve Ritik instead.
Indira admires the saree, and Priya brings Pari into the room for the rituals. Indrani questions Pari about her serving duties, but Tulsi intervenes, insisting that Pari should be allowed to help. Tulsi then asks Indira if Pari can wear the saree, deciding to assist her daughter, although Pari feels nervous about the attention. Mihir observes the interactions with suspicion, sensing that something is amiss.
As the episode comes to a close, Tulsi confronts Pari, questioning her about what she was doing at the restaurant. Pari, feeling defensive, retaliates with sharp remarks, setting the stage for further conflict between mother and daughter.
