The episode starts with Anupama telling Rahi that she gave her a chance because she herself couldn’t win due to her daughter. She reminds Rahi that even though they are equal partners, she won’t agree with anything wrong and says, “I am still the full mother.” Anupama adds that she also wants profit, but with honesty, respect, trust, peace, hard work, and relationships. She says if Rahi doesn’t want to walk alongside her, then she must at least walk with the senior partner, which is her. Rahi argues that they are equal, but Anupama explains she’s senior due to experience. She advises Rahi to prove herself first, and until then, she should remain a silent partner. Anupama also tells her to keep personal and professional lives separate. Rahi then tells Toshu that she wants to talk to him, and he goes with her. Janki behen tells Anupama that Rahi is like a chilli—spicy and ready to divide everyone. Anupama smiles and replies that just like a mother treats different children in different ways to protect them from hot things, she’s doing the same with Rahi.
Prem offers Pari some jaggery chocolates and says they’re sugar-free. Pari tastes them and says she’s stressed. He jokes that “stressed” is “desserts” when reversed. She shares that she needs to urgently send dress designs to a designer. Prem looks at the design and supports her. He suggests using pearl earrings and mentions that he likes orange. Pari teases him, saying guys notice such details only when they’re in love. She asks if he’s in love, and Prem smiles. Mahi watches him and smiles too.
Rahi questions Toshu about how much he’s earned at Anu ki Rasoi. She says Anupama doesn’t use his skills because he’s taken for granted, and if someone else had used him, the company would be earning crores. She says together they’ll grow the company and achieve high turnover. Toshu says he tried, but Anupama never trusted him. Rahi says she believes in his skills. Pakhi mocks her and says her sayings don’t fit. Dolly and Baa also make fun of her. Baa even says she’s treating a donkey like her father, making Toshu feel insulted. Rahi insists she’s focused on the business, not Toshu personally, and reminds them that everyone will benefit if the company grows. She promises to repay Anupama’s 10 lakhs with interest. She also mentions how everyone needs money for family needs like weddings and medical bills. She asks for their support, and everyone starts thinking.
Pari asks Rahi to try on an orange dress since Ishu isn’t home. Rahi agrees. Mahi also finds the same orange dress and wears it, doing her makeup. Pari styles Rahi with pearl earrings and prepares her for a photo. Rahi steps out and accidentally bumps into Prem. They fall on the swing together. Prem is lost in the moment and imagines her smiling, almost leaning in for a kiss. Rahi scolds him. Mahi sees them and gets angry. Anupama also arrives. Mahi drags Prem away and scolds Rahi for being careless. Prem explains it was an accident. Mahi accuses Rahi of doing the same thing she does to Anupama. Rahi fires back, asking if she ever saw things from her point of view. Mahi walks away, followed by Anupama. Rahi sits on the swing while Prem watches her, thinking she looks beautiful in orange. He takes a photo and smiles.
Anupama watches Mahi and tells Janki behen that something about her has changed. Janki agrees. They then talk about Rahi. Anupama says Rahi is angry and sharp, but now she’s working and will start using her mind the right way. She’s glad Rahi is working at Anu ki Rasoi. Janki behen thinks it’s a concern. But Anupama believes Rahi, being Anuj’s daughter, will be a businesswoman. She says Rahi won’t let the business fail and will work hard to surpass her. She remembers how she worked hard to prove herself to Vanraj, and says if Rahi uses her anger in a good way, it will be a positive thing.
Toshu talks to a vendor and complains about Parag Bhai’s high rates. He says they’ll switch vendors now with the new partner, Rahi. The vendor promises to send new rates. Toshu tells Kinjal he’s planning ahead and will also get a commission. He says Rahi will stop Anupama’s charity style of working. Kinjal warns him not to be used by Rahi and to be careful.
Rahi checks orders with Janki behen and suggests sending food in steel boxes to regular customers. She asks who provides the groceries, and Janki says it’s Prachi Bhai. Prem keeps staring at Rahi and her photo. Mahi approaches Prem, but he suddenly gets a call from “Khalnayak” and hides his phone. Mahi asks what’s bothering him, and Prem lies, saying he’s getting many NGO calls. Then he compliments Mahi, saying she looked nice in orange. Rahi tells Prem to go deliver food.
Prem later meets Kaveri and Gauri and admits he’s in love—with Rahi. Suddenly he gets another call from “Khalnayak” and angrily throws grass nearby, which lands near Rahi. She asks if he was talking to his girlfriend. Prem says he’s a one-woman man and has no girlfriend. She teases him, and then asks him to come to the market with her. He’s surprised but agrees. Sitting in his jeep, he imagines singing and dancing with her. Rahi brings him back to reality, and he says he was lost in her thoughts. Rahi asks what he meant.

Anupama feels emotional. Prem says Rahi is like wildfire. Anupama says no matter how much a child is angry, there’s always love for their mother inside. Mahi imagines Prem and says she loves him. Anupama catches her and asks if she has gone mad.
