In Shaurya's dream, his child-self huddles in the basement playroom, but he smiles when a hand reaches towards him. Adult Shaurya realizes that someone else was in the basement with him, and asks who it is. Child Shaurya grips the hand and beseeches the figure not to go, to stay and play with him. They fall asleep together, hands clasped.

In the present, mirroring his dream, sleeping Shaurya grips Anokhi's hand, and murmurs the same words. They wake up facing each other, and Anokhi asks him if he's okay. Then her eyes widen, and she asks, "Ronny?" In a moment, he's on top of her, demanding to know why she's in Shaurya's bedroom. Trapped beneath him, she tells him about becoming Shaurya's secret doctor. Ronny jumps to the conclusion that her job is to get rid of him. He drags her out by the wrist, determined not to leave her at Shaurya's side, but she argues that she's here as an arbiter so he and Shaurya can work things out. Temper flaring, he says that this can only end if one of them disappears, and she can't choose them both.

"Would you like me to disappear?" he asks her. Cupping her hands over his, she says it's not her choice to make.
"You've completely fallen for Shaurya," he says.

Does she really believe his intentions are innocent?

Ronny leaves her with the laptop containing his video message to Shaurya. She follows Ronny instead, and he tells her that since Shaurya broke the "rule," he'll have to punish him. He explains that Anokhi is Shaurya's hostage, so he can both protect his woman, and threaten Ronny.

It's funny that he's not exactly wrong.

He sweeps out and Anokhi chases him down and slips. On her knees, she begs him to tell her what he's planning. He cryptically replies that he's going to ruin Shaurya's world - so much that he can never clean it up : "So that he'll hide and never come back, I'm thinking of punishing him thoroughly."
He turns away, and Anokhi clutches him in a hug. "Let's go together," she tries.
He breaks out of her grip. "If you're not going to have me, don't touch me," he tells her. He locks her in and leaves in the red Ferrari.

Anokhi returns to the laptop, and gasps at the video of Ronny warning Shaurya not to mess with his woman. Anokhi looks up Shagun's address, and Chief Makkhan arrives. Anokhi assigns the chief to stay at the apartment in case of Ronny's return. She takes to the road, with a good idea of where he went.

Shagun's reception of her engagement ring from Yash is subdued. He sweetly apologizes for his reaction to the rumors, and for putting his reputation before her feelings. He puts the ring on her finger with a happy smile. Later, she walks Yash to his car. He spots the red Ferrari but doesn't see Ronny. Immersed in the shadows, Ronny watches Shagun go inside. Shagun's phone rings, and she eventually answers what she thinks is Shaurya's call. She tells him she's engaged to Yash and he shouldn't call again.

Undeterred, Ronny pulls her strings, telling her he misses her and wants to meet. She continues to be brusque, but is freaked out when he notes that she's alone, since Yash just left. Her doorbell rings and Ronny goads her to open it - it might be Yash. Although she can't see anyone, she opens the door anyway, only to be greeted by Ronny.

Note to readers: Don't try this at home, seriously.

She tells him to leave, and reminds him of his (i.e. Shaurya's) warning to avoid him if he crossed the line. Ronny is mildly impressed by Shaurya's forethought. Seeing her engagement ring, he muses that he wanted to put it on her, and Shagun wears a caught expression. He barges his way in in the name of wine, and the door clicks shut behind them.

Anokhi parks up behind Ronny's car, and catches him coming out of Shagun's house. He doesn't tell her what happened. Shrugging off her grip again, he heads to his car. She points him to her car - no, not the driver's seat - and he complies with the enthusiasm of a sullen teenager. She demands to know what happened with Shagun. His answer, to use her imagination according to how much she trusts him, frustrates her. But he's made his point. He tells her that the mad curiosity she feels about not knowing what he's been doing is exactly how he feels about her and Shaurya. And she betrayed his trust, he adds.

I just noticed how much lower Ronny's voice is than Shaurya's.
Anokhi is tired of his games, and asks him what it will take him to stop. Looking her in the eye, he says, "Instead of me, kill Shaurya." She doesn't even have that level of ability, she replies.

They're met at home by an anxious Chief Makkhan, and Ronny chides him for not recognizing him. Chief Makkhan suggests Anokhi stay elsewhere for the night, but she declines - she and Ronny have things to talk about. Pouring himself some wine, Ronny tells her that if she stayed in the hope of Shaurya returning, she'll be disappointed. "That jerk is never coming back. The seal to his memory has been broken," he elaborates.

Anokhi asks if he knows about the year's worth of missing memory. "Of course," he replies, "because I was born to cope with them." Following a hunch, she asks if she is in them. He promises to tell her only if she chooses him. Anokhi explodes. Is he stupid? She already told him she doesn't have that ability, but he replies that the longer she delays in choosing him, the more he will ravage Shaurya's world. She sleeps on Shaurya's couch, and a blanket is drawn over her.

She opens her eyes, and asks, "Shaurya Shreeman?" He responds, "Yes, I'm Shaurya."

Oh no, this is too suspicious.

That look in his eyes is too calculating. She was worried he was gone, and she tells him she can't handle Ronny. He thanks her for what she's done so far. The next morning, Ronny pulls up at Shagun's house as she comes out. She's startled by his full Ronny glory, all sharp wardrobe and styled hair. But he's only here to collect his car, and tells her he'll be back tomorrow for the other one.

At the company, Yash is disturbed to see Ronny come out of the same car he saw outside Shagun's house the night before. Ronny's edgy look turns heads all morning, and he plucks hearts left and right, while captions ("an uncommonly handsome man") follow him.

Hahahaha.
He makes himself comfortable in Grandma Seeta's office, and greets dead Grandpa's portrait from her chair, a cynical smile on his face.
Secretary Anokhi and Chief Makkhan scour the company looking for Shaurya.

A run-in with Yash's secretary makes them realize that it's Ronny in the driver's seat, not Shaurya. Ronny flips boredly through a presentation, legs resting on the table...in the middle of a staff meeting.
Lol.
Anokhi and Chief Makkhan burst in, and since Ronny won't leave quietly, they end up wheeling the recalcitrant VP out by the chair.

In the corridor, Ronny fumes. He throws off Anokhi's arms, telling her not to touch him. Annoyed with his repeated anti-touch tirades, she puts her hands aaalllll over him while he flails, but Chief Makkhan restrains her with the reminder that they're at the office. This puts Ronny back in control. He points out that here, he is VP Shaurya, and he has a meeting to attend. He wheels himself back in.

He's such a teenager, ha.

Chief Makkhan tells her Ronny's right - the meeting is mandatory so he has to attend. He's interrupted by a call from Shaurya's mom, inquiring after Anokhi.

The staff meeting is properly under way, headed by Yash. Ronny is so focused on making notes that he doesn't notice Yash addressing him. Chief Makkhan, hovering nearby, looks over Ronny's shoulder, and LOL his "notes" are variations on "Anokhi bhalla ♥ Ronny" and cusses against his cousin.

Hahaha.

Chief Makkhan hurriedly disposes of it. Yash asks Ronny if he's found Omega. Ronny has no idea what that means ("Do I even have to catch tuna for you now?"), but Chief Makkhan interjects that the film rights have been secured, and signed off on by the mystery writer himself. Yash grudgingly acknowledges his efforts, but tells him the production will now be turned over to someone else. "How cheap," Ronny shoots.

He accuses Yash of using him, and asks if he isn't ashamed to openly cast him off like this, now that he's got what he wants.
The rest of the employees gape, but Yash doesn't rise to it. He simply repeats that the other manager will now head the production. But Chief Makkhan reports that Omega's contract condition was that Shaurya remain in charge of it.

But in his office later, Yash loses his temper with his secretary (who's impressed by Shaurya's puppy-to-hyena transformation) and has a fit of fury on his own.

Ronny wonders to Chief Makkhan how Shaurya can be such a fool as to take being put down all the time. Chief Makkhan schools him on "responsibility" - unlike him, Shaurya endures what he must to take care of what he has to protect. Ronny snarks that the chief and Shaurya sure are a match made in heaven, but it's a shame since Shaurya's never coming back. Ronny notes that he hasn't seen Anokhi for a while, and Chief Makkhan says she's meeting with his mom.

The news causes Ronny to seize the chief by the lapels, furiously demanding to know where she is and what the hell he was thinking in putting them together. He storms away after her.

At a restaurant, Shaurya's mom gifts Anokhi a handbag. Although she doesn't want to accept it, Mom makes her snip the label off and forces her to keep it. She admits it was a bribe, and asks after her son. Remembering Shaurya's nightmares, Anokhi asks Mom about his year of missing memories, and whether anything bad happened to him then. Mom shifts in her seat and says nothing happened. Anokhi then asks if he had a close friend his age when he was younger, and now Mom is really rattled.

But she's saved (or not) by Ronny's arrival. He barks at Anokhi to get up, and before he drags her out, turns to Mom in warning, "Don't call her out again."
After he leaves, Mom panics at the thought that he might have remembered everything. Ronny deposits Anokhi in his car. She can't understand why he's so angry, and tells him his mom must be lonely and in pain.

Ronny, his voice rough with his own pain, spits back, "In pain? Lonely?" Should he take off her mask, he asks, and reveal what kind of woman she is?
"At the scene of abuse, where a person's soul was being fragmented, there are three types of people. Victim, assailant...and bystander. If just one of those three were absent, the bad thing wouldn't have happened."

Anokhi processes the confession of abuse with horror, while Ronny continues. "That woman was a bystander. Using that [knowledge] as a weapon, she has survived in Sabherwal. Even now, she orders them around under its threat. But could I love that woman?" he asks Anokhi, struggling to contain his feelings.

Pawan does some indoor rock-climbing with his editor, but his mind is elsewhere. He puts together all the pieces of his research, along with his encounters with Shaurya and his various alters, until he figures something out.
Anokhi echoes in his head: "What if it happens against his will?" Her connection to Shaurya, her job as his private doctor...a man she likes - it all resolves into a picture he doesn't like at all.

Ronny and Anokhi arrive back at his apartment, and he orders her to pack up - they're leaving. But she asks him why he keeps quiet, when he knows what the missing memories are. He's slow to answer, and without meeting her eyes, he says, "That bastard can't handle it."
Anokhi disagrees - Shaurya can handle it. "Then we will die!" Ronny shouts, "We were made to take his pain for him. If his pain goes away, all of us die." His ultimatum to Anokhi finally makes sense: Either Shaurya carries on living like he has been, or Ronny lives instead of him. It can only be one or the other.

She repeats her earlier question to him. The memories which he has, that Shaurya doesn't - is she in them? He doesn't answer. The doorbell rings, and Anokhi is surprised that it's Pawan. Taking her by the hand, he tells her they're going home. Ignoring her objections, he sticks her into his car and threatens to tell everyone at ID Entertainment that Shaurya has DID if she leaves it.

She's shocked that he knows. He tells her that now he knows about the dangerous situation, he can't leave her there, so she should just do as she's told.

"Are you even her real brother?" Ronny asks, arriving on the scene.

"Shaurya?" Pawan asks. The two men face off, and Pawan clocks that this isn't Shaurya. Ronny wonders how many people have caught on to their secret. Pawan informs him that he's taking his sister back, but Ronny demands to know on what authority he's doing so. "As her brother," he replies.

Ronny threatens to take his eyes out if he carries on claiming a brother's rights while looking at her with the eyes of a man. Pawan remains unruffled. He tells Ronny that he has even less right. In his ear, he finishes, "Because you are Sabherwal Group's son."

His words root Ronny to the spot. As they drive away, his eyes well up and his face contorts with pain. In the car, Anokhi asks what he said to Ronny to make him look so sad. Pawan is too angry to engage in their usual camaraderie. Arriving home, he instructs his sister to ask their parents' forgiveness. He also tells her not to mention either Shaurya's name or Sabherwal's.

The family have company already. Dr.Singh regales the parents with proud stories of their daughter, who comes in right on cue. After her confession, Anokhi is all contrition. But her parents are still disappointed that she lied to them (and Mom tries to beat her with a pineapple, LOL), and even more shocked to find that Dr.Singh also knew.

They deplore her for not trusting them, but Dr.Singh explains that it was because she had to keep the patient's secret. He tells them that he's ashamed of trying to dissuade her, when she followed her conscience as a doctor, and asks them to forgive her this time.

Pawan burns the midnight oil looking through his Sabherwal family scrapbook. He sighs that Shaurya hasn't, in fact, been living happily all this time, "Seeing how your heart has been broken to pieces."

Anokhi joins Dr.Singh for late-night snacks and thanks him for his support earlier. He asks about Shaurya not coming back. She tells him that Ronny said he went into hiding when the seal to his memory broke, but Dr.Singh doesn't know what it means either. Anokhi thinks the key to the memory is in the last nightmare he had. She worries that he really might not return. Dr.Singh thinks there's a possibility that when the seal broke, there was some kind of exchange between them.

Either Shaurya will come back stronger, or Ronny will overpower him and stay in control.

Ronny watches himself in the mirror, and Dr.Singh continues in voiceover: The most important thing for Shaurya is how he'll deal with the pain of his memories. "All we can do is trust him and wait," he finishes.

"Are you there, Shaurya?" Ronny asks his reflection. It's time to deal with the past, he tells him. The people who made him into a monster can't be let off.
"Shall I do it, or will you? If you want to do it, come out. You can't?" This scene is cut so hauntingly. If he can't, then he should just stay crumpled up and never come back, he tells his distorted image. But a tear rolls out, belying his angry words. He leaves the bathroom, and all that remains is an empty reflection.

Grandma Seeta enters her dark office and is shocked by Ronny's presence. Ronny tells her he was only doing what she said, "Like a night robber, making no sound. Living quietly as if I didn't exist." She's suddenly fearful, and with that sharp smile, he asks if she remembers.

He muses that everyone thinks he's lost his memories - as if they hoped for it. She asks him what he wants. Sabherwal Group, he says. "Give it to me, Grandmother." He tells her that waiting for her son to wake up is futile, and picks up his portrait. Grandma is frantic to retrieve her precious picture from him and they scuffle. He purposely drops it, and to her distress, it shatters. Her usual ire returns and she raises her hand to hit him, but he blocks her easily. Ronny offers to end her lingering attachment for her, and fear fills her face.

Ronny drives furiously, and arrives at his father's bedside. All we can see is Ronny's twisted reflection until he settles by his father. Stroking his face, he tells him he shouldn't have saved him back then, seeing how he's in a coma now. "I became a monster because of you, father. Should I...let you rest peacefully?" His hand moves ominously towards a valve. From deep inside, a disembodied voice asks why he's being disturbed: "I've suffered so much."

Is Shaurya back?

With tears on his face, his hand touches his father's cheek. "Father..." he sighs.
