Prabhakar is looking at the book manuscript KK has sent, while Gayatri gets him tea. He laughs and says KK has praised him so much. Gayatri tries to convince him about Siddhant's rishta, Prabhakar says Siddhant is grown up, takes his own decisions, so let him decide. if he says he's not interested in marriage, let it be and he will need a special girl for himself.
Anushka comes to her room, angry, and tells her reflection there's no point dressing up, deletes her photos from social media (social media to ban aaj se) and throws away the dresses she tried on and clicked pics in. Then she picks the white top and denim she'd worn when Siddahnt called her jhalli and says this is what she will wear from now. Why should she care about what other say (as she recalls the flashback about Siddhant's comment on her fashion sense), she's comfortable in this.
Siddhant is working out on his biceps and thinking about Anushka's badn-aid. He thinks to himself the girl is an expert in injuring herself (khud ko chot lagvaane mein to is ladki ne Phd kar rakhi hai is the dialogue đ. Purva comes in asking if she can use his charger as she lost hers. He tells her to be more careful with her stuff and she's like charger chahiye lecture nahi đ. He asks her about sending Allahabad girl's photo to Sweetyji and she says it was Gayatri's idea đ. She tells him she even sent it to Anushka by mistake, so he asks what did Anushka say. Purva (I guess to help Gayatri) is like Anushka said the girl is very nice, and Siddhant should marry her, and invite Anushka first (think you made up a bit too much Purva đ¤).
Anushka is at work going through employee appraisals with Seema (HR). Prabhakar asks Shrikant about the line outside her cabin and he says she's doing appraisals since early morning. One employee says he wants to join core management but the eligibility criteria says it's for married people only and he's unmarried. She discusses with Seema and says she will ask KK in the next meeting about changing it.
Anushka comes to Prabhakar's cabin and asks if Ratan Tata, APJ Kalam and Atal Bihari Vajpayee would be unable to join Reddy's core management. He says why not, and she says they were all bachelors. Prabhakar says it's KK's rule, he (KK) feels married people are more responsible.
She notices the chocolate he'd gotten for Siddhant and asks if he's also fond of them. Prabhakar says no he'd gotten them for Siddhant, who's too busy. They discuss about him and Prabhakar says Siddhant always hurts or pushes back those who care the most for him. And still, people are drawn to him because there's something about Siddhant. Anushka is quiet but sad, and says hai kuchh purana when Prabhakar asks. Prabhakar says he's noticed she's different when Siddhant is around, and she's a different person from the Anushka 7 years ago, who'd tell Prabhakar everything. He asks her what happened, if Siddhant was responsible in hurting her in any way, why she went to US all of a sudden.
(flashback in blue)
Anushka is thinking in flashback about outside the party scene. Siddhant is mad why she didn't invite him. She says he was going to go with her but she thought he'd not be comfortable. Teen Siddhant, irritated asks if it's because the rest of them are rich. She says where did this rich and poor come from. He says she's used him in college (for notes, for food, for help) and is now fighting because she's done with him and is now going to US where she'll find someone else to run her errands.
He says he didn't even know she was going to US till her rich friends told him. She tells him Robbie tried to kiss her, he says why should he believe her. She says why will she lie about something this big, and he's like all this is common among rich people it's not a big deal.
Prabhakar gently persuades Anushka to tell him, but she's quiet, and in tears thinking about their last fight 7 years ago. He tells her he'll not probe her further, but takes a promise from her that she will help wayward Siddhant when needed, because like Prabhakar, Anushka also thinks from her heart but Siddhant thinks from his brain. He says Anushka is a sorted person and Siddhant would need her help whether he likes it or not. She promises Prabhakar that she will guide Siddhant as and when needed, even if he dismisses her help, because Prabhakar has asked her to.
This entire sequence was âď¸
A pity indeed we'll not see this would-be sasur-bahu conversation in future. Am reminded of what Siddhant told Anushka at airlines launch party, she's Prabhakar Sinha's shaagird (follower of Prabhakar's school of thought).
Now the extended preview sequence - Siddhant tells Anushka he got her message from Purva, and he will give his wedding's invitation first to her. Then he says she should come dressed up for his wedding not like a jhalli.
Flashback, where teen Siddhant says if he gets married, he will invite Anushka first. She says of course she will be first to come
Flashback over, current Anushka thinks to herself, Tum tab bhi mera ishaara nahi samjhe they Siddhant, aur aaj bhi nahi. Shaayad kabhi samjho...
(You didn't get my hint that day or today. Hopefully some day you will understand)
Precap: Siddhant says what was it he wanted to ask. Prabhakar says they will talk later. Siddhant is like there was something but after Anushka's call just now, you don't want to tell me. Prabhakar asks why does he get restless on hearing Anushka's name. He says hai kuchh hamara purana
Kartik tells KK as he is getting ready he had already bid for airlines a week ago, Nita is there too and they both are trying to persuade him to go with the bid (and choose between Prabhakar and airline )

Please let me know if there are any mistakes. Doing an update as the episode was well worth it. Anuraag Arora is amazing đ as Prabhakar, and Palak was excellent as the inhibited girl, with a calmness not often seen in young female leads these days âď¸
