The episode begins with the organizer summoning Tulsi and Noina for a meeting, tasking them with creating 10 sarees. Noina confidently accepts the challenge, dismissing Tulsi's capabilities.

Dev's Manipulation and Noina's Strategy

Noina counters, stating her intention to manipulate and control Dev, planning to spoil him and make him subservient to her. She reveals her plan to undermine the Virani's support, but she is unable to control Parth and goes for the round.
