The episode begins with Vani and Vaiju preparing for the puja. As Rannvijay gets ready in the room, Jaya enters, creating an awkward moment that prompts him to suggest she stay while he leaves. Jaya notes that despite sharing the same room, they are still living separately, with two distinct beds in place. She reflects on how Vaiju still holds a special place in Rannvijay’s heart. Meanwhile, Vayu finds a photo of Vaiju and Vani, which falls near Jaya, although Rannvijay, who is present, does not notice it.
Excited about Milind’s arrival, Vani is thrilled when he picks her up and shares a close bond with her. Vaiju, however, thinks about Milind’s negative feelings toward Rannvijay. Suman comments on Milind’s changed demeanor since losing his job as a police officer, mentioning how he prefers his own company and only brightens up in Vani’s presence. Vaiju acknowledges that she hadn’t realized the extent of his change.
As Rannvijay and Vayu finish getting ready for the puja, Jaya suggests they begin the ceremony. Vayu suddenly remembers he forgot something and rushes to his room to get a storybook that Vani gifted him, intending to use it during the prayers for blessings from the Goddess.
Vayu talks to Jaya about Vani, causing her to feel upset at the mention of her name. Both the puja and Vani’s preparation for her own prayers commence simultaneously. From a distance, Milind watches them, while Vani expresses excitement about her father joining them soon. She shares a drawing depicting a happy family with both parents, referring to her father as a brave man, and hopes that they can all worship together next time.
During the puja, Rannvijay accidentally calls Jaya by Vaiju’s name, which leaves Jaya feeling hurt but she chooses not to respond. Both sides complete their aarti. Vani approaches Milind, inviting him to join the prayers, but he declines.
Suman speaks with Vaiju, admitting she didn’t invite Milind to the prayers and asks her to give him a chance as he is trying to improve. Meanwhile, Vani continues to pray for her father’s return. Suman suggests that if Vani’s father were to come back, it could change everything. She also reminds Vaiju that while she has kept Vani away from Rannvijay, it’s impossible to predict what fate holds. Vaiju insists that with God’s support, Vani will understand she is enough for Rannvijay, firmly stating that she won’t allow Rannvijay’s influence to touch Vani.
Vaiju prays that Rannvijay never comes into Vani’s life. In another scene, Vasundhara discusses Rannvijay’s wishes with Goddess Saraswati—he expresses that all he desires is for Vayu’s eyesight to improve and states he has no personal wishes, focusing solely on his son. Vasundhara prays that those who have departed from Rannvijay’s life also fade from his memories. Vaiju adds that Rannvijay took Vayu away from her, and insists he would still be alive if it weren’t for Rannvijay.
The episode concludes with Vaiju shocked to see Vani standing behind her, asking who “Ranaji” is. Simultaneously, Vayu questions Rannvijay about who Vaiju is.
**Precap:** Rannvijay and Vaiju prepare for a video call.
