In today’s episode, the emotional turmoil continues as Om Vajpayee, overwhelmed by his failures, vents his frustration while under the influence of alcohol. He lashes out, especially at Gayatri, claiming she’s been sabotaging his every effort to become independent. “No one respects a man who doesn’t work,” Om declares bitterly, revealing the deep emotional wounds he carries.
Isha tries to reason with him, reminding him that he’s not in the right frame of mind. But Om pushes her away emotionally, stating that they have no connection anymore and insisting she leave him alone. “Everyone’s angry, but no one really loves me,” he laments.
In a twisted revelation, Gayatri declares to herself that she has complete control over Om’s life and vows that he’ll remain a puppet in her hands.
The next morning, Om is served lemon water, but the tension escalates once more. Isha confronts him about the job he accepted through dishonest means. She insists that although Gayatri has wronged him in the past, he has no right to defame others. “Be a man, Om. This job is someone else’s. You can’t build your life on someone else's name.”
Despite her pleas, Om remains adamant. He confesses he used the name Om Vajpayee to secure the job and believes he’s earned it. “You don’t question our work or our choices, so don’t interfere in mine,” he tells Isha.
Isha doesn’t back down and declares, “We’ve already chosen our path. What’s ours can never be wrong. We’ll do things the right way.” Her voice trembles with conviction as she urges Om to open his eyes to the truth.
Om later confronts Garima and Gayatri, warning them that the fire they've ignited is out of control. He firmly states, “I’ll take this job, and this time I won’t listen to anyone—not even you.”
At the family dining table, tension explodes as Gayatri mocks Om’s new role, while others, including Ragini and Om’s father, express their disappointment. The final insult comes when Gayatri compares trusting Om to expecting loyalty from a donkey. “Even if his name is Ram, if he has no conscience, he’ll never change.”
As Om sits in silence, broken yet stubborn, the episode ends on a grim note. Will Om realize the consequences of his choices, or will he push everyone away in his pursuit of respect?
