The episode begins with RV waking up to find Poorvi peacefully asleep. Noticing that it’s already 10 AM, he contemplates whether to let her sleep a bit longer, deciding it’s best not to disturb her rest. RV gently checks the time and then makes the decision to cover the window with curtains to block out the sunlight. He positions the sofa strategically to ensure Poorvi remains undisturbed by the morning light.
RV reflects on his actions and thoughts from the past. He remembers the promise he made to Khushi to make Poorvi’s life difficult, and his initial rude behavior towards her. These memories bring a wave of guilt as he acknowledges the harshness of his earlier actions. Despite this, RV struggles with his conflicting emotions about Poorvi. He recognizes that he has a meeting to attend soon, and standing in front of the window indefinitely isn’t feasible. He decides to make a small adjustment to keep the sunlight away from her, showing his inner conflict between his guilt and his busy schedule.
As RV contemplates his next steps, Vikrant arrives. Their conversation touches on the complexity of RV’s feelings and past actions. This moment of introspection sets the stage for deeper revelations and confrontations throughout the episode.
Meanwhile, Deepika is on the phone with Monisha, who picks up with a hint of irritation, questioning why Deepika didn’t wait until she woke up to call. Deepika explains the purpose of her call: Anmol Mehta is hosting a party for RV, celebrating the resolution of his troubles thanks to Poorvi’s efforts. Monisha, initially confused, learns from Deepika that Poorvi played a significant role in resolving RV’s issues, including dealing with Nethra’s departure. Deepika urges Monisha to wake up from her “dream” and attend the party.
Harleen arrives during this conversation. Deepika, quick on her feet, shifts the topic and pretends to discuss household matters with the servant. Harleen, noticing Deepika’s strange behavior, comments on how it was the servant who brought groceries yesterday, leading to an awkward moment. Deepika manages to navigate the situation, but the tension underscores the complexities and underlying tensions in her relationships.
At home, RV is engaged in a conversation with Vikrant and Dadu. RV admits to having treated Poorvi poorly in the past. He recounts an incident where he deliberately set the air conditioning to an uncomfortably low temperature to make her feel cold. Dadu is outraged by RV’s behavior and criticizes him sharply, emphasizing the inappropriateness of his actions. Dadu’s anger is palpable as he questions RV’s ethics and compares him to Khushi, suggesting that RV’s behavior has become indistinguishable from Khushi’s malice. He calls RV shameless and declares that he has awoken his “Rudra avatar,” a fierce, judgmental side. Dadu adjusts the AC temperature to 16 degrees, ensuring that Poorvi is comfortable, while RV grapples with his guilt and the family’s disapproval.
As the preparations for the party continue, the episode shifts focus to the family getting ready for the event. Dadu is dressed and ready, calling out to Dadi, who arrives, having gotten ready earlier. Harleen joins the scene, and Dadu praises her for being the “kulvadhu,” the ideal daughter-in-law. He inquires about Harman, who, as usual, is taking longer to get ready. Harman eventually appears, and RV and Yug join the gathering.

As they prepare to leave for the party, Deepika and Vikrant make their entrance. Vikrant humorously comments on the time it took Deepika to get ready, comparing it to Dadu’s lengthy preparation. Deepika defends herself, stating that she needed to look her best for the event. Yug asks Vikrant to sing a song, which Deepika quickly dismisses, claiming he can’t sing. The playful challenge leads to a light-hearted moment where Vikrant agrees to give it a try. Despite some hesitation, Vikrant performs, adding a touch of entertainment to the proceedings.
As the family departs for the party, different arrangements are made for transportation. Harleen decides to go with Harman, who offers to take Bau ji and Beeji in his car. Jaswant volunteers to take Deepika, Vikrant, and Vaishali in his car, while RV plans to drive with Yug and Poorvi. Monisha arrives just as RV and the others are about to leave. Deepika suggests Monisha accompany RV, which RV agrees to, although he is concerned about Poorvi’s delayed arrival.
Poorvi eventually joins the group, and RV’s demeanor shifts as he smiles upon seeing her. The family heads out, with RV instructing Yug to fetch the keys before joining the rest. Monisha, seething with jealousy, observes RV’s interaction with Poorvi. She feels a sense of rivalry and resentment, particularly as she watches RV and Poorvi engage in friendly banter.
