The Divya Jyot team makes their way to Shaurya's mansion minus Ahir, who won't make it back tonight. Pi tells Shaurya that they've come to take Nikki-3. Trying to stall them, Shaurya asks them to stay for dinner.
Pi shuts him down, and at a loss, he cries out, "Matar-paneer Pulaao!" and a whole assortment of costly delicacies that make Anmol and Bunty's resolve crumble.

At the table, Shaurya explains that he made some extra dishes especially for "Researcher 1" (Anmol) and "Researcher 2" (Bunty).
"You... don't know our names?" Anmol asks.
"Do I need to?" Shaurya replies, undoing all their goodwill.
Anokhi urgently takes the clueless boy aside and tells him that to ask a favor, he needs to build closeness with them, not just feed them.

She advises him to have real conversation with them and answer their questions frankly. He returns to the table, and with a glance at Anokhi to reassure himself, he stiltingly asks Bunty what his parents do. Bunty replies that they run a laundromat in the US, and asks Shaurya about his parents.
"They're lying in their graves, side by side," Shaurya replies, a pained smile pasted on his face.

Oof.

Everyone stops eating. Anmol asks what happened to them, and Shaurya tells them about the car accident in quite horrific detail, his tone all the while casual.
"Only I survived," he finishes, awkward smile still in place.

Aww somebody give him a hug right now.

The researchers' jaws literally drop as they finally look at him like he's a person.

Director Tez tells Yash that Ahir is looking for new investors, and they set their plan in motion.
While Ahir has dinner with some potential investors, the curly-haired half of Tez's bumbling men-in-black pretends to be a server and swipes their business cards.
He sends the information back to Tez.

At the mansion, the researchers have scraped the plates clean and Anokhi whispers that this is the moment to reel them in.
But Shaurya being Shaurya, he once again undoes it all by speaking down at them about how lucky they are to have such great food. Goodbye, goodwill!

Shaurya doesn't understand why they immediately make to leave.
"Did we ask you to do this?" Pi asks.
Unable to hold back, Anokhi steps in and tells them to at least have the manners to do the washing-up.
Anokhi approaches Pi while she washes the dishes and asks if they can't stay: "He's not strange... just a little brusque. He's really tender-hearted inside." Pi says Ahir's mind is already made up, and that it's better to leave Shaurya on a harsh note.

As she finishes the dishes, Robovac breaks down in front of her.
Shaurya calls Anokhi to his room. He sits her down beside him and drops his head to her shoulder. He says he doesn't know how to open their hearts to him.
"It's hard. It's too hard," he whispers. "You tried your best," she says quietly, putting her arm around him in comfort.

Shaurya gathers himself up and prepares to give things one more shot, but he's horrified to come out to a scene of the team apparently dismembering his beloved Robovac.
Yelling, he grabs his pretty from them and asks it with real worry if it's okay.
The team watches agape, and even Anokhi is surprised at his near-panic.
Pi explains that it was broken and that they were about to fix it.

Shaurya won't let go, and they wrench it away from him. It's fixed in no time, and they've even upgraded it to have a cute face - happy when the filter's clean, sad when it's dirty, Pi says.
In joy and relief, Shaurya seizes it up and kisses it. The team is shocked by the realization that he isn't a pervert after all, and even Pi softens.
Now that the team's misunderstandings have been put to bed, they welcome Shaurya's hospitality with enthusiasm, and Shaurya shyly says he's got some expensive dryfruits to go with their beer.
