Mishri dreams of beating up Ranjith while Sulekha and Supriya cheer her on. Ranjith suddenly wakes up from his nightmare, startled. Supriya notices a wound on his neck and starts getting suspicious. Meanwhile, Sulekha is praying, and Grandpa reminds her that Vaani’s family will be visiting soon, asking her to prepare everything quickly. Ridhi tells them she has an extra class at college and will be home in the evening. Sulekha complains that Ridhi isn’t taking the day off on such an important day.
Sulekha then asks Mishri where she’s going. Mishri replies that she’s heading to school. Sulekha demands that she stays home, asking if she has no shame after everything that has happened. Grandpa adds that they’re saying this for her own good and that she can return to school once things settle down. Mishri questions why she should stay quiet when the real culprit is still free. Chithra scolds her, but Raghav steps in, telling Mishri to get ready. He has applied for her scholarship and assures her that he’ll help her complete the formalities.
Ridhi, upset, tells Raghav that Mishri is just a servant and doesn’t need to go to college. Raghav informs her that he applied for Mishri’s scholarship at Rishi’s college. Ridhi is shocked and asks if Mishri will study at the same college as her, claiming that Mishri doesn’t have the status to study there. Raghav stands firm, saying that Mishri is a brilliant student and deserves the opportunity. He insists that no one should refer to Mishri as a servant. Sulekha, concerned about the issues with the wedding, asks Raghav to stay home for the puja, but Mishri reassures him that she can handle the scholarship formalities herself. Sulekha feels ignored, thinking that everyone is giving more importance to Mishri than to the elders in the family.
At the college, Mishri asks a peon for directions to the admin office, and he guides her. Meanwhile, Ridhi and her friends thank the peon for distracting Mishri. Ridhi then pours water on Mishri and mocks her, introducing Mishri as her servant to her friends. She demands that Mishri call her “madam.” Mishri tells her that she came to the college to apply for a scholarship because she wants to study there. Ridhi challenges her to spell the word “pneumonia” correctly in exchange for the form. As Mishri tries to spell it, Raghav arrives and asks if there’s a spelling competition going on. He turns the tables by challenging Ridhi and her friends to spell a word he chooses. When they fail, he shows them a video of their bullying and threatens to send it to the school management. The girls apologize and leave. Ridhi accuses Raghav of siding with Mishri, but he says he is standing up against bullying. Ridhi storms off, and Raghav scolds Mishri for not standing up for herself.
Later, the priest informs the family that the auspicious time for the puja has passed. Kalpana uses this as an opportunity to tell Vaani that Raghav is off with Mishri. Parvathi defends Raghav, saying he might be busy with something important, and reminds Kalpana that Vaani considers Mishri her sister, so she should stop insulting her. When Raghav returns home, he asks Mishri to wait outside, which raises questions from the family. Vaani asks the priest to lie, but he reveals the truth instead. Sulekha scolds Vaani for her behavior and says they don’t need an auspicious time to set the wedding date. Sulekha then criticizes Vaani’s upbringing, and Kalpana defends her.
Vaani, feeling hurt, complains to Raghav that she is trying to resolve things between them, but he keeps disappearing during important moments like the puja. As tensions rise, Sulekha and Kalpana start arguing. Kalpana speaks poorly of Raghav and his father, and Parvathi, angered, raises her hand to slap Kalpana.
