Gursheel and Bebo are at the dining table waiting for breakfast which Goldie is making. Goldie comes with plate of Parathas and says cheerfully bebo parjaiji breakfast is ready. Bebo says what is this? You call this breakfast? Goldie and gursheel are tensed. Goldie says these are parathas and you like parathas so much. Bebo tells her to take them away as she does not want to see them. Gursheel senses Bebo's bad mood and says what is this breakfast you have made Goldie? How can Bebo eat this? She asks Bebo to tell her choice, what she wants to eat. Bebo says I will eat what my Gursheel parjaiji will make for me. Gursheel gets shocked and stands up when she hears that she has to make breakfast. Bebo says you will make breakfast, won't you? Gursheel sweetly says yes I will make breakfast. You tell me what you want to eat? She scolds Goldie and says she does not know hot to cook. She is so silly and foolish. Goldie tries to say something but Gursheel keeps on saying that Bebo has told everyone that from now on she will eat everything very carefully. Everything must be cooked in less oil, right Bebo? Bebo scowls at this. Gursheel says don't get angry Bebo. One cannot bear to look at these parathas. I will bring new parathas for you. Bebo says I don't want paratha parjaiji. I want cholay, puri and lassi, and everything must be on the table quickly; within 15 minutes as I am very hungry. Gursheel is tensed but she says to Goldie yes that is what I was thinking. Goldie has made such curvy parathas and you know I get nervous to see curvy things. I will go and bring for you round and beautiful puris with cholay and lassi. Bebo reminds her that everything must be within 15 minutes. Gursheel agrees to cook within 15 minutes. She goes to the kitchen and takes Goldie with her.
In the kitchen, Gursheel is muttering at amount of work she has to do. Goldie says did don't talk to me like that in front of Bebo. Gursheel says shut up. If want reward, then you will have to do hard work. You made such breakfast which Bebo didn't like. Goldie says how am I going to know what your bebo rani likes? Gursheel is taking out pots and pans and says you should have asked. Both sisters are working in kitchen and Bebo has secretly listened everything from the door and she is happy.
After 15 minutes, Bebo calls from the dining table, parajai ji 15 minutes are almost over. Gursheel comes with breakfast on tray with Goldie following her. (There is aata stuck on Gursheel's face and she is disheveled) Gursheel dish out all the food for Bebo. She asks Bebo to taste the food and tell how it is. Bebo takes one bite and says yes, this is the flavor of my Gursheel parjaiji's hands. Goldie is tensed. Gursheel is happy and a little proud. Bebo sees all this.
After breakfast, Bebo comes in Gursheel's room. She pretends that she has something to say about Goldie but is hesitant. Gursheel asks what happened? Bebo says I think Goldie parjaiji didn't like the way you talked to her in the morning. Gursheel says why do you have such feeling? Did she say anything to you? Bebo says no parjaiji why should she say anything to me? She was just telling me that she has already suffered so much and you also scolded her. Bebo says poor Goldie parjaiji; she has really suffered so much. Gursheel is confused. She says bebo she has not suffered to the level I am suffering. I have been driven out from my house. Goldie is enjoying herself in her sasural. She has got a loving husband. Bebo says but parjaiji Goldie parjaiji has been tortured. Gursheel says torture? What type of torture? Bebo says she got burned, remember? Gursheel says I am also tortured. My husband threw me out of the house. I am far from my son and being a mother, my heart aches for him. Bebo says I know you are in bad condition but worse has been done with Goldie parjaiji. Gursheel says leave it Bebo; I hide my sadness very easily so no one knows my level of heart ache. Bebo says no parjaiji, your pain can be seen but Goldie parjaiji's pain is much worse than you. Gursheel is jealous to hear this. Just then, they hear daljeet shouting. Bebo tells Gursheel to wait and goes to see the matter. Gursheel mutters to herself, why is she taking pity on Goldie? Goldie is winning her sympathy which is good in some way but I have to see that I don't remain behind in Bebo's eyes.
Amrit, Chaijee, Buaji, Daljeet are in the living room. Daljeet is talking on the phone with Siddhanth. He says I can also give you money. I can give you more money than Bebo but you have to fight this case for us. The call is cut off. Bebo is watching from the corridor upstairs. Goldie has also come to listen. Buaji asks what happened? Daljeet tells her that siddhanth disconnected the call as he does not want to fight our case. Amrit says I don't believe a person can fall to this much low level just for money. He left us in the middle of the case just for money. He should not be called a human being. Bebo and Goldie are watching together and are pleased. Daljeet says the problem is that we need him. No matter what happens, siddhanth has to fight his case for us. Bebo says to Goldie their feet will get sores but Siddhanth ji will never take their case. Daljeet and every looks up as they have heard what Bebo said. Daljeet says we will force siddhanth to fight this case for us. He and Amrit go away. Goldie says leave it bebo parjaiji. This is all talk of losers.
Goldie and Bebo come to Goldie's room. Bebo says Goldie parjaiji I was hungry in the morning that is why I got angry with you. Please forgive me. Goldie says no, it is nothing. I don't mind whatever you say. Bebo says you are very nice. I should thank you instead of getting angry at you. Goldie says thanks, for what? Bebo says whatever I have today, is all because of you. If you wouldn't have thrown mommyji papaji out of my way, I wouldn't have gotten all this. I mean to say that it is because you got burned that mommyji papaji went out from this house. Goldie is confused. Bebo says was telling to Gursheel parjaiji that Goldie parjaiji has done all the hard work for this property. If you wouldn't have burned, I would never have come to know about the will. But I think, gursheel parjaiji didn't like this. Goldie is tensed. Bebo starts to go but Goldie stops her and asks her to tell what Gursheel didn't like. Bebo says gursheel parjai is already out from her house and here she has to do so much work. Goldie says did didi say anything? Bebo says she was looking really sad. Goldie says I am more depressed than her. I could have died, you know. Bebo says I also said the same thing to parjaiji. But parjaiji said that the biggest share of the property must go to her as she has suffered the most. Goldie is angry and says now I know why she is trying to make you happy. Bebo says I got the feeling from her that the entire share will go only to her. Goldie is extremely tensed. She says I will go talk to didi. She is thinking all this and I don't know. Bebo stops her and says leave it, I have already said that everything is mine and we all will enjoy the luxuries together. You people are my true relations. We have seen so much poverty. Goldie says I trust you completely parjaiji but I have doubts about didi. Bebo says it happens. Money is such a thing that can make your own relations turn strangers. This is not gursheel parjaiji's fault. She has seen poverty and now after so much time, she is getting something. She must be feeling pain in sharing. Goldie is tensed. Bebo makes her sit on the couch and says I am going to ask her if she needs anything after the one lakh she took yesterday. Goldie is extremely shocked. Just then Maro enters the room.
Maro is suspicious. Goldie gives Maro a bottle of biscuits and sends her away. She comes back to bebo and says parjaiji you were telling me that did asked you for 1 lakh rupees and didi didn't say anything to me about this. Bebo says what can I say? Goldie says didi never hides anything from me. Bebo says maybe she tells you only those things which she wants to. And today I told you this. Goldie is tensed. Bebo tells her to come with her.
She takes Goldie downstairs in the living room where jeweler is sitting with lots of jewelry. Jeweler starts showing different sets to them Goldie's eyes are popping out looking at all beautiful jewelry. Jeweler shows pair of bangles to bebo. Goldie likes them. Bebo senses her greediness and she buys them for her. She made Goldie wear those bangles.
In the evening, narangs are eating dinner at the dining table. Goldie is pleased with her bangles and she keeps on touching them lovingly. Everyone is glancing in her direction except gursheel who is busy eating. Bebo asks Goldie to pass her bowl of daal. When Goldie passes her the bowl in front of Gursheel, Gursheel notices her bangles. Her eyes are wide open looking at new bangles in Goldie's hands. Daljeet and buaji are smiling secretly. Bebo asks Goldie to pass yogurt as well. Gursheel keeps on staring at Goldie and her bangles while Bebo is pleased to see her plan working. Gursheel gets jealous and she gets up saying she will bring more rotis. She goes away glaring at Goldie who is confused. Bebo is happy.
