While sightseeing, Anokhi and Ahir stop for snacks. Unfortunately, Ahir can't find his wallet, so Anokhi offers to pay, and when she accepts a pastry from the merchant, she leaves her wallet behind on the counter in plain sight. Folks, Idiot Anokhi is back!

As for Ahir's wallet, well, Bunty it. Because stranding someone without money in a foreign country is what all good friends do. Ming sneaks a photo of himself with Ahir into Ahir's wallet, to be discovered later.

Anokhi discovers the loss of her wallet a bit later when she tries to buy a paper fortune at a shrine. Ahir tells her to wait, and dashes off to save the day. But instead of searching for her wallet, which may contain important things other than cash, he... plays streetside minstrel?

Ahir borrows a guitar from a street performer.
Money pours in from the sizable crowd and people applaud. Anokhi, who has wandered by, looks on in admiration. Ahir smiles: "This should be enough, don't you think?"

On the way back to Ming's house (but what about the wallet?), Anokhi has trouble walking properly again (drink up) and her ankle rolls over as her heel snaps. She tries to stumble along in the broken heel, then decides to take the shoes off. Ahir kneels in front of her and offers to carry her.

As she climbs on his back, Anokhi thanks Ahir, at the same moment that he thanks her, too - this is the first time he's ever earned money on his own: "There are a lot of things I'm doing for the first time because of you. So thanks."

They enter the gate, not noticing the big black car lurking right in front. Maybe they've gotten so used to their dates being followed that they're inured to the sight by now?

Inside the car, Mr.Makkhan asks Shaurya whether he should start driving; Shaurya answers, "Stay a little longer," which turns into three hours. It's only when the lights inside finally go dark that Shaurya allows Mr.Makkhan to head back.

This next morning scene severely tried my patience, and was only mitigated (marginally) by how gleefully Ming snickers at Anokhi. Still groggy, Anokhi stumbles into the bathroom and sits down on the toilet. Ahir walks in - the door was unlocked - and covers his surprise, then walks out. When the reality of the situation sinks in, Anokhi shrieks, then locks herself in the bedroom to sob in humiliation.

Seeing that Anokhi won't come out, Ahir leaves her alone while he steps out. When she comes down to breakfast, she finds a note that reads, "Memory erased."

Ahir browses the shopping center for some shoes, and buys the pair that Anokhi had eyed. Then, they're at the airport. Anokhi sees that Ahir has booked first-class tickets and, fearing the expense, offers to downgrade to economy. With a deadpan expression, Ahir replies that his legs are too long to suffer economy, putting an end to that argument.

Shaurya sits through a business meeting when Mr. Makkhan brings him a document with a note stuck to it reading, "6 pm departure to Delhi." Shaurya signs the note and hands the papers back to Mr.Makkhan, pretending this was mere business procedure. This is actually one of the moments I really liked in this episode - the little detail to show how Shaurya is covering his actions to escape Madam Sabherwal's eagle eye.
