She asks Gudiya to click Imlie’s photos and thinks she will separate Aryan and Imlie.Imlie reaches the office hiding from the guard and tries to open the door with keys, but when she realizes she got the wrong key, she takes key from the guard’s table and gets inside the office, She then searches for Arvind’s file and doesn’t find it. Aditya walks to her holding Aryan’s file and says he knows she is searching it and Aryan considers him a culprit.
Imlie says Aryan removed all the evidence online, but she is sure she can find some proof here. He asks why she is trying to prove him innocent when her husband thinks he is responsible for Arvind’s death. She asks if she can’t have her own thinking. He says it’s just like she had different thinking than him. He shows her proof and says she wants to prove him innocent as she still cares for him.
She says is worried for him as he is Tripathi family’s son who considers her as their daughter. He asks her not to lie looking into his eyes. She says she is also betrayed by him, but she doesn’t want to recall her past and is just worried about Arpita and Narmada. He says even Aryan. She says Aryan will continue to burn in the fire of hatred until she proves Aditya innocent. She clears that she doesn’t love him anymore, so he should stop bothering her and move on. He gets hurt hearing that, burns the file, and leaves. Imlie cries seeing the burning files and thinks Seeta Maiya didn’t do right with her and Aryan.
Imlie returns home. Badimaa starts her drama, gathers the whole family, and says Imlie was out of house whole night and returned in the morning. Gudiya shows pics of Imlie going out. Badimaa accuses her of having an affair with her ex-husband and went to meet him. She asks if she is also characterless like her basi roti/stale roti mother.

Imlie silently watches. Badimaa yells that Aryan has gone blind in love and asks Narmada to question Imlie. Narmada feels happy that Aryan trusts Imlie while he doesn’t trust anyone now. Arpita says Badimaa should try to understand Imlie before judging her and takes Imlie in. Nila stands frowning.
Next morning, Aryan gets ready for office. Imlie confesses that she met Aditya last night in the office. He says he knows as he keeps a tab of all his offices, technically she is his employee again. She apologizes him and tries to explain. He says he knows Aditya burnt the file and asks why she is explaining him when she thinks it’s a fake marriage. She asks why he fought for her and Meethi then. Their argument continues. She cries says she cannot do anything as she always loses over him. He says she shouldn’t as she used to fight before but now she lost the power of fighting, she worked like a true reporter who worked hard to get the information. She says he tied her hands by blocking all the evidence and Aditya burnt the file, what will she do now.
