After a business trip, Anupamaa returns home. Vanraj, who is waiting for her outside the door, recalls her departing in a sari and returning in a shalwar kameez. She enters quietly. Nandini inquires about the temple darshan. Vanraj says she should ask about her raas leela/romance, not darshan. Anupamaa claims the garments belong to the boy’s mother, and she must return them because Anuj had a high fever the night before. Vanraj claims his body was on fire, so she was alone in a room at 3 a.m. soothing him. Anupamaa cautions him not to act inappropriately in front of her daughter and in-laws. Vanraj wonders if she should claim she wasn’t in the same room as him. Anupamaa claims she was and is caring for Anuj, who is unwell. Anupamaa claims she isn’t, and there must be a video of Anuj stumbling and falling down shortly after. Anupamaa claims that a person with pure intentions cannot dirty their garments black. Anupamaa claims that the burden of guilt is exceedingly heavy, that she has not sinned, and that Baa, knowing her well, should not have questioned her character. He inquires as to what she intends to do.
Anupamaa needs to perform agni pariksha again, and Anuj becomes concerned for her and informs GK that a house where troubles are generated unnecessarily will cause a lot of drama. Anupamaa has to give agni pariksha again, and he believes something will go wrong this time. Why is she asking when she doesn’t want to trust her? Anupamaa has assured her a hundred times that she and Anuj are simply friends. Baa, on the other hand, wants to keep questioning until she gets what she wants. Anupamaa claims she doesn’t want to speak to him, and that she will tell him one final time that she and Anuj are simply friends, and that he may believe her or go to hell. Anupamaa believes she has been living with strangers for the past 26 years.
In Jijaji’s absence, Mamaji cautions Baa to cease her cheap words; she may use perfume for a pleasant odour, but Anupamaa’s character spreads pleasant odour. Anupamaa says she’s had enough of being respected; they’re questioning her character after all she’s done for them; enough is enough, and these are her final tears. Kavya has already slept with a married man in this residence on her bed, according to Anupamaa, who is questioning her. Anupamaa claims that anyone who considers jewellery and money to be valuable is the poorest person on the planet, and that she will take away her self-respect and dedication.
