The episode starts with Ammo frantically searching in her cupboard for Ichha's gift, and is getting worked up on not finding it. Ichha finds the gift (a dupatta) and urges Ammo to relax. Ammo tells Ichha that she feels nowadays she is walking on egg shells, for she does not want any bad omens to be cast on her wedding celebrations. Ichha reassures Ammo that this time things are different, and all will be well, as she has her blessings. Ammo calms down, and they both pray together.
It is night time Ichha is walking towards her window and thinking about the events of the evening. She remembers how Vansh had stormed into the house and publicly announced his love for her, how Nani had called Vansh's love "bemisal", and Thakur Sahib had expressed his happiness at accepting Vansh. Ichha's thought are broken by Tapu, who informs her that she has to leave for her in-laws' as Mai wants her to attend the wedding ceremony from the groom's side. Ichha wants Tapu to stay, but Tapu playing the unlucky bahu, says, who knows if after Ichha's wedding she ever gets an invitation from the Bundela House. Ichha reassures Tapu, that after her wedding, her first priority would be to give Tapu her love back. Tapu smiles and tells Ichha that regardless of whatever happens to her she is happy for her. Tapu adds that soon Ichha will start a new life, leaving behind her old one, as "Mrs. Ichha Vansh Budela Singh", and then hugs her, as she wickedly smiles into the camera.
Veer is shown in his room. The background score "O Meri Jaan" is playing. Veer is reclining on a lounging chair, and has a sad expression on his face. He is blankly gazing at the ceiling, and is thinking about asking Ichha how she plans to keep Vansh happy if she doesn't love him, and Ichha replying, that she will. Veer then remembers happier times with Ichha from their courtship days, and a tear trickles down his cheek. With the background score still playing, we are shown Ichha also thinking about her romantic moments with Veer. She is crying profusely as she holds onto the smiley face picture, along with other love mementos given to her by Veer (e.g. cards, dry roses etc). With shaking hands, she burns all of Veer's gifts, and recalls Tapu telling her that from now on she is "Mrs. Ichha Vansh Bundela Singh". At the same time, Veer is also burning his pics of Ichha.
Morning dawns at Bundela House. Mai hands out "prasad" to a happy Vansh, who refuses, as he is fasting on his wedding day (a required ritual). He tells Mai that he will break his fast later with his wife. Mai reminds Vansh that tomorrow he starts a new life and that she is happy for him. Vansh says he is happy too, but also nervous, as he hopes he is worthy of Ichha's love. At that instance, Tapu enters and joins in the conversation. She jokingly reminds Vansh not to forget her after his wedding and praises him for his devotion, by fasting for Ichha. Tapu is taken aback by Vansh's comment, when he says did she not fast for Lalla on her wedding day. Vansh leaves and Mai tries to console Tapu. She asks her to call Veer.
At the Thakur residence, wedding preparations are on full swing. A busy Thakur sahib asks Damini where is Tapu? Nani informs him that Tapu is where she should be, at her sasural. Thakur sahib is not too pleased with her comment. Mamiji takes over some sweets to Ichha and asks her to taste some. Ammo screams at Ichha not to break her fast as it is a major bad omen. Mami apologizes for her forgetfulness and leaves.
Tapu enters Veer room and finds him stretched out on the lounging chair, staring into space, with a servant cleaning his room. Tapu walks up to the servant and asks her to get Ichha's wedding things. Veer momentarily turns towards Tapu then looks the other way. Tapu asks the servant, if Veer had eaten anything, and tells her to first get some breakfast. Hoping to get a response from him, Tapu in a cheerful manner tells Veer that everyone at her home, including Ichha, is very happy because Vansh Bhaiya loves Ichha very much. Veer continues to ignore Tapu with his head turned away. Tapu asks Veer to get up and get dressed as Mai wants him down. She opens is cupboard and is taking some suits out, when Veer angrily snaps at her, and tells her to quit her manipulative ways, she is not his wife, and leave his room. Tapu innocently tells him that she is doing this only because Mai asked her, as she wants her to join the barat. An irritated Veer leaves the room. Tapu calls after him. She says to herself, how much longer can Veer run away from her? Eventually, he has to return and accept her as his wife. Episode ends.
Precap: Tapu is performing a wedding ritual with Vansh as his bhahi. She asks him for her gift. Vansh replies that he has given her the greatest gift of all, Veer, what else does she want? A shy Tapu looks at Vansh.
