The family, noticing Bulbul’s longing for Veer, decides to lift her spirits. They bring a variety of snacks and ice cream to the table, and Sulakshana feeds Bulbul with love and care. She reminisces about how they haven’t gone on a picnic together, suggesting that they turn the day into a mini celebration. Viyuk, another family member, mentions Veer’s absence, but they place his photo beside Bulbul, and together, they enjoy the moment. Amidst this, Bulbul informs them about the upcoming Independence Day celebration at her college, where the principal has entrusted her with significant responsibilities. She highlights how important this day is for Veer.
Meanwhile, Veer is struggling with a passcode that he cannot seem to crack. Frustrated, he angrily tosses aside the charcoal he was using. At that moment, Bulbul appears, asking him why he is so angry. She takes his hand, gives him a kiss, and advises him to close his eyes and take a deep breath. She encourages him to think calmly about the passcode, assuring him that he can crack it easily. As she writes on the floor, she tells him it’s all over and that he doesn’t need to overthink. She kisses his cheek again, leaving him smiling and touching his cheek, only to realize that Bulbul wasn’t really there—it was just his imagination. However, this vision of Bulbul gives Veer the clarity he needed, and he finally cracks the passcode.
Bulbul, back with her family, shares memories of how she celebrated Independence Day in her neighborhood as a child. She recalls memorizing an essay and narrating it to everyone, providing a detailed account of her childhood experiences. While Bulbul is busy recounting her past, Veer, now aware of the passcode, reflects on how much Bulbul has helped him, even in her absence. He realizes that Miti Mai has planned an attack for midnight and vows not to let her succeed.
As the day progresses, Sulakshana informs the family that the next day is a special religious observance, and she needs rest to prepare for the rituals. Bulbul asks how she plans to conduct the puja without Veer, but Sulakshana is resolute. She acknowledges that Veer isn’t there but insists that the puja must be done for his protection. Later, Bulbul carefully arranges everything for the puja, making a promise to God that she will perform this ritual every year. She prays earnestly to learn something about Veer’s whereabouts.
The scene shifts to Veer, who is now engaged in a fierce battle with some goons. Meanwhile, Miti Mai is performing a puja in her ashram. Sulakshana, filled with faith, believes that Mahadev, who once drank poison to save the world, will protect his devotees from all obstacles. Bulbul, sensing something amiss, thinks she hears Veer’s voice from the ashram, but Miti Mai deceives her, claiming that only they heard the sound. However, even the servants in the ashram confirm hearing it.
As the goons overpower Veer, Miti Mai mocks his family for their blind trust in her, warning him that they will return soon. The episode ends with tension and uncertainty, leaving the fate of Veer and his family hanging in the balance.
