The episode opens with Grandma questioning Apollena about whether her classmates had accompanied her. Apollena denies this, prompting Grandma to scold her harshly. Despite the reprimands, Apollena pleads for a chance to explain her side of the story, insisting that her family only knows half the truth. She passionately argues that her father raised her to uphold the family’s honor and that she has done nothing to disgrace them.
However, Grandma remains skeptical and accuses Apollena of tarnishing the family’s name. In a fit of anger, Grandma grabs a broom, ready to punish her. Just as she is about to act, Girdar intervenes to stop his mother. Apollena tries to reassure her father of her innocence, but the weight of accusations and gossip about his daughter causes Girdar to lose his temper. Overcome with anger and disappointment, he slaps Apollena and forbids her from calling him her father. Devastated, Apollena hands him his spectacles, but Girdar storms off, leaving her heartbroken. Neil chases after Girdar, desperate to reveal the truth, while Grandma orders everyone to stop him.
Madhu urges Apollena to reconcile with her father, but when Apollena runs after him, a car nearly hits her. Girdar shouts her name in fear, and she seizes the moment to admit that she lied but begs him to hear her reasons. Girdar, however, is too consumed by betrayal and pain. He laments that he had envisioned a bright future for her, only to feel shattered by her deceit. Refusing to listen, he orders her to return home, warning that if she follows him, she will witness his death. Heartbroken, Apollena collapses on the road, overcome with despair. Neil and Sangeeta rush to comfort her, and Neil promises that Girdar will come home by the next day.
That night, Girdar reflects on his cherished moments with Apollena, growing emotional over the turn of events. Meanwhile, Apollena waits anxiously at home, her hope unwavering.
