The episode begins with Tejas reflecting on his experience at a restaurant where he went to apply for a job. During a flashback, the manager explains the position to him, mentioning that it involves a 12-hour shift. Tejas grows anxious at the thought but is pressed by the manager to decide if he wants the job. He hesitantly agrees to be a waiter, inquiring about the salary. The manager tells him they will discuss compensation only after a trial period of four days, remarking on Tejas being educated, which is unusual for their hiring practices. When asked about his qualifications, Tejas admits he’s a 10th grader, and the manager unexpectedly offers him the job starting today. The flashback ends.
In the present, Sachin and Sayali question Tejas about his new job, but Roshni interjects, asking why they are prying. An argument breaks out between Sayali and Roshni, leading Renu to chastise Sayali for her disrespectful tone. Tejas, sensing the tension, decides to tread lightly around Sachin. When the argument subsides, Renu sends both Sayali and Sachin away, while Tejas remains vague about his job, simply stating it’s technical and involves customer interaction. Roshni suggests it’s a customer relationship role, and Tejas agrees, feeling disheartened. He hands sweets to Renu and leaves.
Later, Roshni hugs Tejas, expressing her happiness and asking about the company and his job title. Tejas downplays the company, stating he took the job for her sake. She thanks him and he reassures her, promising he’s not deceiving her. He urges her not to ask too many questions about the job, claiming it’s not ideal but that he is doing it out of love for her. Roshni, smiling, accepts his words and hugs him again.
Meanwhile, Sayali is at her store, engaging with a lady customer who inquires about her mangalsutra. This prompts Sayali to recall Renu’s earlier words. Paresh watches the interaction from a distance. When the lady asks if Renu took her jewelry, Sayali quickly covers up, saying that Renu is kind and treats her like a daughter. The customer is skeptical and questions her further, to which Sayali responds that she’s had her mangalsutra repaired and opted not to wear bangles while at work.
Later, Renu arrives at the store and orders Sayali to make breakfast. The lady customer observes Renu reprimanding Sayali before leaving. When Sayali offers to make tea for Paresh, he declines and urges her to focus on her work. The customer returns, reiterating her concern for Sayali and pointing out how poorly Renu treats her. Paresh overhears and confronts Renu about her behavior.
Renu defensively argues that household duties need to be performed, yet Paresh questions why she isn’t asking the other daughters-in-law to help, suggesting that Sayali deserves respect for maintaining their family’s dignity. Tensions rise as Paresh demands Renu return Sayali’s jewelry. Renu accuses Sayali of drama, claiming she willingly gave it up.
As the argument continues, Sayali defends herself, asserting that she will wear only the jewelry gifted by her husband. Paresh, exasperated, urges Sayali to wear her mangalsutra, but she insists on waiting for Sachin to buy one for her as a matter of pride. Renu mocks Sachin’s intentions, escalating the tension within the family.
In the precap, a man approaches Sayali, teasing her and taking her picture, remarking on her beauty and stating he will meet her again the next day, hinting at future complications in her life.
