The episode starts with the dark prince watering his plants. He's lost in his thoughts of the beauty.
Meanwhile, the beauty is helping her sister with the cooking. The innocent angel asks her sister to pass the ghee, but the beauty is preoccupied in her thoughts of the dark prince.
The dark prince cannot stop thinking of the beauty, and doesn't realise he's over-pouring the water, until his sister walks in and stops him. He looks at her a bit bewildered. She wonders what's going on. She forces him to sit down, and tell her. She wants to know if he's happy with his girlfriend coming over... the dark prince looks at her. He says they have an understanding; neither of them want marriage, and she gets him.
The graceful princess asks if the dark prince understands himself. She wonders if he's not doing this only to spite their grandmother. The dark prince smirks, ***erturbed. He believes his sister should know better; he doesn't over-think things, and he's not about to start now.
Back at Bua's, the innocent angel notices her sister isn't paying attention. She taps her on the shoulder, and the beauty replies saying that the tickets to Lucknow have been booked, but they need to hurry with the cooking as they're leaving in the evening. The innocent angel wonders what has gotten into her sister.
Meanwhile, the graceful princess is still worried about her brother. And isn't afraid of saying so. She wonders what will happen to him when he falls in love... he dismisses the notion, but his sister begins describing each state of mind... and as she's talking, he remembers moments between him and the beauty.
The beauty wearing a sari for the photoshoot ~ all he sees is her.
Seeing her cry in the storeroom ~ if she's upset, it affects him too.
Telling him she's leaving ~ the thought of her leaving will kill him inside.

The dark prince finally comes out of his thoughts and tells his sister that even if this girl does come into his life, he'll stay away. He thinks with his head, not his heart. His sister looks at him skeptically, and then says that he won't be able to stay away from her... he'll stop breathing otherwise.
The dark prince stares at his sister, and then bursts out in short laughter. He says that if he stays in her presence any longer, he'll stop breathing, and walks off leaving her fuming.
Back at Bua's, the girls are finishing up the cooking when the phone rings. The beauty picks it up, and it's her mother. However, things aren't well with them. Their shop has been seized from them, because their father put it up for mortgage and couldn't repay the loan. The beauty is sent into shock, and tells their mother they'll be in Lucknow soon... their father softly rebukes their mother for telling the girls, but the beauty is adamant to come home.
She seeks comfort in her sister's hug. They need to go back to Lucknow as soon as possible.
In another part of town, the dark prince has arrived at his girlfriend's apartment. She is wearing a red salwar, determined to impress him and his family. He doesn't notice. He strides in, and is about to say something but she cuts him off. She says that she understands his family might not agree to having her there, but she wants this to work.
The dark prince looks at her and says that he was only going to ask her to hurry up as he parked the car on the side of the road. His girlfriend perks up, and then comes closer to him. She needs to be reassured that he loves her as much as she loves him ~ she doesn't understand him at times.
The dark prince says that if he didn't love her, he wouldn't be doing all this... she agrees, and cuts him off mid-sentence. She's walking to grab her bags, and he's struck by a sudden flashback of yelling at and after the beauty for not being able to talk to her. This flashback causes him to angrily pull his girlfriend back, and tell her off harshly. She has no permission to leave when he's not finished talking.
His girlfriend whimpers, and says she was going to get her stuff. He takes the bag from her, and leaves with her following.
Back at Bua's, the girls are packing their clothes... and Bua watches in the background. The innocent angel is handed a yellow dupatta, and is immediately reminded of her non-wedding. She comes to the conclusion that this is all happening because of her. This is her fault.
The beauty quickly comes to her sister and says it's not her fault. They all believed the groom was a good guy, but if the dowry issue hadn't come up, who knows what might have happened? All the beauty knows is that they're going to go back to Lucknow to be with their family.
Bua finally intervenes - she wants to know why the girls are crying so much. What is the point of them? She sits them down, and explains the situation. She makes them understand that there's no point in going back - it will mean more problems for their father, who hasn't got an income right now. How will they be able to provide for their daughters if they can't provide for themselves?
Bua says for the girls to stay here, and for the beauty to talk to the snake regarding that job he offered. The beauty contemplates.
At RM, the snake and the graceful princess are cooking. The snake lightly flirts with his wife, and share a moment. The graceful princess is reminded that she needs to give her grandmother the medicines, and leaves. Suddenly the snake's phone rings. It's the beauty. He says that he misses her... says her name, and then sees his wife come back through the reflection of the metal plate. He stiffens.

Precap: The beauty wonders if she's made the right decision... she wants a sign saying that she made the right choice.
