The episode opens with Megha confronting Arjun about his interference during her battle at work. She expresses her frustration, stating that she lost her job because of him. Arjun, with a hint of sarcasm, retorts that he observed how she fought and highlights how she didn’t stand up for herself against Pappi. Megha reminds him that Pappi is the store owner. Arjun firmly declares that he cannot tolerate disrespect toward his wife, insisting that no employer has the right to demean employees. He argues that while Pappi pays Megha a salary, it doesn’t mean he owns her.
Megha, however, insists that Arjun still fails to understand the situation. She argues that he hasn’t done anything wrong but affirms that he shouldn’t feel bad for her, as her family’s beliefs differ from his. She shares that she grew up watching her mother work, emphasizing that Arjun is an IAS officer, not her supervisor. Acknowledging her mistake in delaying an order, she states that it was only right for Pappi to reprimand her and that Arjun’s interference isn’t justified.
Contrarily, Arjun asserts that his actions stem from love, not arrogance. He explains that he reacted that way because he genuinely cares for her well-being. Megha counters that she will encounter challenges at work and doesn’t want him to meddle in her professional life. She asks him if he can respect her independence and her job, reminding him that she supported him when he brought Smitha home, demonstrating her respect for his choices. She points out his mistakes regarding the dance assignment and at the store.
Arjun responds that he will always step in when it concerns her safety. Megha accuses him of trying to control her just because she is a woman. He urges her to work with those who respect her. Arjun reminds Megha of the time she supported him during his inquiry, questioning why she felt the need to be there when they weren’t even married then. He suggests that she may want to work to fulfill her ego.
Feeling hurt, Megha asserts that Arjun is not loving her but attempting to control her. She asks if he plans to always rescue her, to which Arjun replies that he has always been there for her. She questions why he cannot simply invite her to live with him in his house if he cares so much. Megha insists that her job isn’t about feeding her ego; she’s just trying to establish her independence.
At that moment, Shagun arrives and apologizes to Megha for her previous behavior. Arjun acknowledges Shagun’s courage to apologize and reassures her that he didn’t take Smitha to a safe house but stayed with Megha instead. He expresses his pride in Shagun for taking this step. However, he emphasizes that Megha may not fully appreciate the emotions behind his actions at this time. After this interaction, he takes Shagun away, leaving Megha to ponder their conversation.
Later on, Shagun recounts everything to Navjot and Manmeet, while Arjun reflects on Megha’s words and vice versa, with the title song playing softly in the background, highlighting their emotional distance.
The next day, Megha approaches Goldie, inquiring about the possibility of a job at his school. She explains her pressing need for employment. Meanwhile, Manmeet comments on the ongoing conflict between Arjun and Megha, stating that Arjun would always come to her aid in times of trouble. Navjot, seizing the opportunity, suggests that since it’s impossible to separate Arjun from Megha, she should focus on targeting him instead.
Determined, Navjot makes her way to the Khurana house with Shagun, Manmeet, and Arjun. There, Navjot announces her intention to take Megha to the Talwar house, stating that she has come to accept the baby. She reveals that she cannot bear to see Arjun sad, which is why she has changed her mind about the situation. Megha’s expression shifts as she recalls Navjot’s previous threats about the baby, her mind racing with conflicting thoughts and fears.
