Anokhi visits the hospital in the early morning, while Shaurya is still sleeping. She makes a joking comment trying to magic back his memory ("abra cadabra, make Shaurya Sabherwal remember Anokhi Bhalla"), then drops off her dosirak lunchbox at his bedside.

Later that morning, Zaini comes by. I want to give her the benefit of the doubt (so far she's annoying, but not evil), but really, she's got boundary issues to be slipping into a sleeping patient's room and applying a skincare device to his face while he sleeps. That wakes him up.

Glancing over at the side table, he wonders what the lunchbox is doing there. Zaini opens the containers, and as she pulls out the Shaurya Face Rice tray and the egg roll-up snacks, Shaurya furrows his brow, a thought niggling at the back of his mind.

He tries one of the egg rolls, and the taste jogs his memory — it gives him a vague (good) feeling. Shaurya asks if she made the food, and for a brief moment Zaini hesitates, as though wondering how to answer, then nods. He says, "I remember. The thing I forgot — it was you, right?"

Although you get the sense she hadn't intended to lie at first, this is too good for her to pass up, so she goes with it.

F2 arrive at the restaurant for some lunch, while the girls watch in puzzlement, wondering why they're here. Finally, when they're done eating, they announce the good news: Shaurya's been released from the hospital.

Anokhi perks up. The guys encourage her to go to him, and she rushes off excitedly.

Anmol remains behind, because he has something to say to Reema. They watch clay baking in a kiln as Reema muses, "They look happy, those plates inside. For some reason, rather than thinking they're hurting in that heat, it feels like they're happy. They're full of hope that if they endure this, they can come out and receive love."

Anmol has two things to tell her, and starts with the bad news first, the way she likes it: He's leaving. He adds, "I guess that may not be bad news to you." He plans to remain abroad for four or five years.

Reema tries to be optimistic, saying it's actually good news because he'll be sure to return an even better potter. She asks for the second part, so he tells her, "When I come back, I'll come find you first."

That's even more startling than the first, but makes her much happier. Perhaps Anmol is a little uncomfortable to have opened up, because he adds, "I mean, if you can't find your soulmate by then." But that's enough of a confession for Reema, who breaks into a smile.

Eager to see Shaurya, Anokhi rushes into his room, calling out a welcome greeting, then stops short: Zaini is already there. Shaurya just tells her that Ahir's not here, and that she should take care of her boyfriend before rushing to check up on him.

At his ungracious non-welcome, Anokhi figures this was a mistake, and turns to go. Zaini steps in to admonish Shaurya for being mean, and urges Anokhi to stay for tea. It's an odd dynamic, because Zaini has usurped Anokhi's position as hostess, and I'm not the only one who thinks she's an upstart: the maids also direct dirty looks at Zaini.
