Vasundhara delays the couple's first night by 22 days by bribing the priest.

Satya discovers Vasundhara's true intentions and her scheme to transfer wealth out of the house. To protect his sister-in-law from being exposed and potentially punished, Satya pretends to seek a stake in the family property. He claims he stole the jewelry to fund a software business, creating a diversion that shields Vasundhara's role in the theft while attempting to maintain family harmony.

Foreshadowing: Satya had earlier explained the Bhavani flashback to Vasundhara, realizing her true motives.
