Episode starts with Toral and Hiten on their SR bed. Toral is resting her head on Hiten's shoulder and they are holding hands and staring at each other. The scene then shifts to Arjan-Khemi room where he is blasting her over bringing Hiten back to the house. Khemi explains that she did not tell him about it as he might not like what she did. She says that as the 'bahu' of this house it is her duty to see that the house does not break.. Arjan shakes her and says she has to remember that she is first his wife and then the bahu of the house.
Back to Toral-Hiten's room. Hiten lays Toral down on the bed and bends over her. Toral closes her eyes and scene fades. Back to Arjan-Khemi where he is pushing and shaking her and shouting. She yells at him to stop. He immediately starts apologizing and asking for forgiveness and says we will leave this house and go away as he cannot tolerate looking at Hiten's face everyday (please go as we the viewers cannot tolerate looking at your face). Khemi says that Hiten is his older brother and as such her 'jeth' and there is no other relation. She says they have to think about their child's future but in spite of that if he wants to leave she will do what he says.
Next morning Toral looking gorgeous in a red saree, , is in the kitchen making sheera and her culinary skills are being observed by all the womenfolk of the house. Toral says she feels awkward with all of them hovering over her and that she will make good sheera. Baa says that her MIL has to give the thumbs up and how the sheera turns out will determine the relationship between MIL and DIL. Toral says it will turn out great as Santu was the one who taught her how to make it. Baa tells Santu that because of this she lost the one opportunity she had to be mad at Toral.
DM is sitting on the swing and Bapuji comes out and asks him what should be done with the boatload of gifts that they got for Hiten's wedding. DM says that like every time they will donate them. Bapuji says that since Santu went to Randel Maa's temple to bring the mitti, they will make the donation to that temple. DM agrees and asks Bapuji why Santu went there. Bapuji tells him the reason and DM nods but looks very upset.
DM is sitting in his room. Santu enters and asks him why he called her? DM tells her that ever since the Maulik incident he has asked her never to hide anything from him. Santo agrees.. DM tells her that inspite of that she still hid something from him? Santu confused ans asks him what did she hide? DM says that she hid the fact that Moti sent her to Randel Maa's temple. Santu is scared and agrees. . DM says she will get 'dand' for this. Santu looks at him with her pareshaan face but he opens his arms for a hug.. Santu smiles and they hug. He says he is very grateful that she thinks so much about his family.

Maulik is looking sad and Moti asks him if it is because she is leaving Maulik says yes and request her to stay longer.. She says her earlier rights over this house have been taken away and she does not want to live as a guest here any longer.

DM says that a lot of things and relationships have gone wrong this year and he wants an opportunity to set things right and also sort out differences in relationships.
