The episode begins with Rannvijay expressing to Vaiju that while they are married, she doesn’t know him well enough. This statement wounds Vaiju. Rao Saheb comments on Rannvijay’s feelings for Jaya, while Ragini chastises him for taking his frustration out on Vaiju. Vaiju overhears their discussion, which highlights Rannvijay’s lingering attachment to Jaya, a sentiment echoed by Vasundhara.
Meanwhile, Jaya is pushing Kunal away, stating she wants to be left alone, but he challenges her, suggesting that if she prefers isolation, she can deal with it by herself. Jaya reflects on Rannvijay’s surprising dance at the mill, prompting Kunal to question why she’s so affected by him. She wonders if Rannvijay has changed so dramatically in such a short time. Kunal implies that perhaps Rannvijay was always like this but just hadn’t shown it before.
When Vaiju returns to the room, Rannvijay insists he doesn’t want to argue about their earlier disagreement. She expresses a desire to sleep and questions why his anger is directed toward her. Rannvijay believes that as his wife, Vaiju should help him improve himself, especially since Jaya is her sister and he feels it was inappropriate to celebrate while she’s unwell.
Meanwhile, Jaya confides in Kunal about her concerns regarding Rannvijay, suggesting that Vaiju has uncovered a side of him that Kunal hasn’t seen. Jaya feels Rannvijay’s change seems forced, as if he’s responding to Vaiju’s presence. Kunal reassures her that it’s fine for Rannvijay to change, asking why she’s so affected. Jaya worries that once Rannvijay realizes his true feelings, he may leave Vaiju, which would hurt her sister.
Despite her worries, Jaya admits she can’t stop thinking about Rannvijay. In a moment of vulnerability, Rannvijay recounts how embarrassed he felt dancing in front of Jaya and Kunal at the mill, prompting Vaiju to discover that his demeanor shifts when Jaya is around. When she confronts him about this, Rannvijay defends his actions and suggests that she should have done something to change the situation.
Vaiju asserts that she never tried to alter their dynamic and reminds him that he chose to marry her. Jaya later finds Kunal and apologizes, asking for time apart, to which he responds that he will always be there for her.
The next day, as Vaiju and Rannvijay prepare for Makar Sankranti Puja in the kitchen, Vasundhara arrives with plans for the celebrations. Vaiju proposes inviting Jaya, believing Rannvijay’s happiness depends on her inclusion. The episode concludes with Rannvijay and Vaiju discussing his struggles to let go of his past with Jaya.
