The episode opens at the lavish Chaudhary mansion. Inside, a tense atmosphere fills the living room. Bua Ji, the family matriarch, hands a large brown envelope to Unnati, her nephew Raghav’s wife. She tells Unnati that she has spoken with the lawyer and had divorce papers prepared for her and Raghav. Unnati is visibly shocked, while Raghav stands by with a grim expression. As Unnati pulls out the documents, she sees the word “DIVORCE” in bold letters, with Raghav Chaudhary listed as the husband and Unnati Chaudhary as the wife.
Unnati tries to protest, but Bua Ji, with a heavy heart, explains her reasoning. She believes that while marriages are made in heaven, their separations are also destined. She reminds Raghav that he and Reet were about to get a divorce before, but circumstances brought them back together. However, seeing them constantly fighting and miserable, she now believes it is the goddess’s will for them to part ways and find peace. Raghav challenges her, stating that as the elder, she should be offering better advice than divorce. Bua Ji, emotional, says she cannot bear to see them suffer. She reveals she even begged Raghav to forgive Unnati, but his stubbornness and hatred for her are too strong.
Raghav agrees, his voice laced with bitterness. He declares that what Unnati did was not a mistake but a crime, for which Reet is paying the price. “Reet is my wife, and she will always be a part of my life,” he states firmly, looking at a stunned Unnati. In a shocking twist, he adds, “But yes, Unnati should divorce me.” Fueled by anger and hurt, Unnati snatches the papers and tears them to shreds. She angrily tells both of them to stop making decisions for her life and declares that anyone who suggests she divorce Raghav will be her biggest enemy. She then storms out, leaving Bua Ji and Raghav speechless.
Meanwhile, in another house, Reet is anxiously pacing in her room. She is determined to get a sample of Bua Ji’s hair, likely for a DNA test, but she’s banned from the Chaudhary house. She devises a plan and calls Poonam, Raghav’s sister-in-law, for help. Poonam updates Reet on Raghav’s deteriorating condition, mentioning he’s not eating and is incredibly distressed. Their conversation is cut short when Bua Ji enters Poonam’s room, complaining of a headache and a leaking tap in her bathroom. She instructs Poonam to call a reliable plumber, giving Poonam the perfect opportunity to help Reet.
In a parallel scene, Prateek meets with a woman named Priya at a rooftop cafe. He seems nervous and is having an affair, as they are seen hiding from Raghav when he unexpectedly enters the cafe. This secret meeting highlights Prateek’s duplicitous nature.
Later, Reet, cleverly disguised as a male plumber in a blue uniform, complete with a fake mustache, beard, and sunglasses, arrives at the Chaudhary mansion. Poonam expertly handles a suspicious Virein and guides Reet, a.k.a. the plumber, to Bua Ji’s room. Finding Bua Ji asleep, Reet stealthily plucks a strand of her hair and secures it in a small plastic bag. Her mission seems successful until she moves to the bathroom to fix the “leaking tap.” In a clumsy moment, she breaks the tap completely, causing water to spray all over her. The force of the water washes away her disguise, just as Raghav walks in. He spots the fallen fake beard on the wet floor and then sees a drenched Reet. Overcome with emotion, he rushes to her and pulls her into a tight hug. Just as they embrace, Bua Ji walks into the bathroom and stands there, utterly shocked to see Raghav hugging the plumber. The episode ends on this dramatic cliffhanger.
Review
This episode was packed with emotional drama and suspense, masterfully weaving together multiple plotlines. The opening scene set a high-stakes tone with the introduction of the divorce papers, immediately pulling the viewer into the central conflict between Raghav, Unnati, and Reet. The performances were commendable, especially the actress playing Bua Ji, who conveyed a convincing blend of concern and helplessness. Reet’s mission to infiltrate the house in disguise added a layer of thrilling suspense and a bit of comic relief, which was a nice change of pace from the heavy emotional scenes. The final moments, with Raghav discovering Reet and Bua Ji walking in on their embrace, created a perfect cliffhanger that leaves the audience eager for the next episode. The only point of confusion was the brief scene at the cafe with Prateek, which felt slightly disconnected from the main narrative but hints at another layer of deceit to be unraveled.
