The opening
Masaba stayed at colleague Gehna’s house after an argument with her mother. She feels inspired by her colleague’s house, wanting space of her own. So Masaba goes apartment hunting. In one of the apartments, they see a rat. Meanwhile, her mother Neena is fretting and wants to ring her but she’s being stubborn. The mother-daughter relationship is clearly strong as they are struggling to be away from each other.
New home
Masaba feels she has found her home and makes an Instagram post about it. As for Neena, she rings her agency and is annoyed that everyone has been cast apart from her. When Masaba gets to the office, she’s told she can’t have the apartment because they don’t want a celebrity to attract problems. She fumes at the broker.
What is happening with the new collection?
But then Dhairya and his daughter Pax come to the office as she’s screaming on the phone. He wants to know if she’s started his new collection. The investor then suggests that she finds someone to collaborate with. Masaba believes he is being sexist because of her divorce and is doing the “Damsel in distress” narrative. While she rants, Dhairya texts Masaba his friend’s number who leases houses and walks away. Dhairya is cocky but he clearly has a point to prove to Masaba’s assumptions.
Jogi returns
The man from the last episode who spoke to Masaba outside the art event returns — Jogi. Masaba and Jogi go to a bowling alley and have some fun.

The sweet mother-daughter relationship was never going to break.
Moving in
