The episode begins with Shalini confronting Rohit. Rohit, looking distressed, apologizes for Phulki’s recent behavior and tells Shalini that he was about to ask her about Abhijit’s feelings. He is deeply ashamed and says he will apologize on Phulki’s behalf. Unbeknownst to them, Phulki is hiding just outside the room, listening to their entire conversation with a worried expression.
Shalini seizes the opportunity to manipulate Rohit. She tells him she feels bad for him because he is trying so hard to give Phulki a goal, but Phulki isn’t worthy of it. She claims that boxing and training mean nothing to Phulki and that all she wants is to control Rohit and treat him like her property. Rohit looks conflicted and troubled. Shalini continues her manipulation, telling him that Phulki will never appreciate his efforts. She then offers a solution: she is starting a boxing academy and wants him to join. She places a comforting hand on his shoulder, which Phulki witnesses with a pained look before storming off in anger.
Later, Shalini exits the room and is immediately confronted by an angry Phulki in the hallway. Phulki grabs her arm, accusing her of interfering. Shalini smirks and taunts her, saying she can try all she wants, but Rohit will never break his promise and train her. She calls Phulki’s dream of becoming a boxer impossible and walks away, leaving Phulki looking determined.
Phulki then sees a flyer for a local annual sports competition. The flyer, written in Bengali, lists various events including a 100-meter race, a 200-meter race, long jump, and boxing. An idea sparks in her mind. The scene shifts to the competition ground, a lively field filled with tents, flags, and people. Phulki arrives and approaches the registration desk for the boxing competition. She confidently gives her name, Phulki Das, and her coach’s name, Rohit Roy Chowdhury, surprising the organizers.
Back at the house, the family is in a panic, unable to find Phulki anywhere. They call Rohit, who is now at his office with Abhijit and his friends. Just then, Rohit’s brother Prem calls him with alarming news: Phulki has entered a boxing competition at the local playground. Shocked and furious, Rohit rushes out with his family. They arrive at the crowded sports ground to see Phulki in the boxing ring, wearing boxing gear and a determined expression.
The boxing match begins. Phulki, with no formal training, is completely outmatched. Her opponent lands several brutal punches, and Phulki is quickly knocked down, her nose and face bleeding. Rohit and his family watch in horror from the sidelines. Rohit, unable to watch any longer, jumps into the ring to stop the fight. He cradles the injured Phulki, who, despite her pain, weakly asks him if he will train her now and help her become a boxer. Overwhelmed with guilt and concern, Rohit tearfully promises that he will teach her everything. Phulki then loses consciousness. The referee declares her opponent the winner.
Rohit carries the unconscious Phulki through the crowd and brings her home. The entire family is distressed as a doctor examines her. They tend to her wounds as she lies on the sofa. Meanwhile, Shalini is in an office with her friends, revealing her own scheme. She tells them that her plan to open a sports academy is a way to control Rohit and keep him away from Phulki for good.

The family’s panic and concern for Phulki added a strong emotional core to the episode. The climax, with Phulki getting knocked out and Rohit finally promising to train her, was a fantastic turning point. It sets the stage for a new chapter in their relationship and a new set of challenges. Overall, it was a compelling episode that effectively moved the plot forward and left the audience eager to see what happens next.
