Today’s episode begins with Ansh asking Banku how he will manage the kitchen alone. Banku says he will cook just the way Anupama taught him. He adds that Anupama explained everything in detail, and there can be no compromise on taste.
Hasmuk assures everyone that Banku will handle the kitchen. Anupama gets emotional seeing Ansh, Hasmuk, and Banku working together as a team.
Hasmuk declares that no one will disturb Anupama and Digvijay until the competition is over. He asks them to stop getting emotional and focus on their preparation. He also assures them that the café is in safe hands.
Ansh asks Anupama if she found out which team Prem will face in the second round. Anupama says they should focus on their own performance. Digvijay adds that they will find out on the day of the competition.
Just then, Khyati arrives and asks to speak with Anupama privately.
Meanwhile, Prem and Rahi cross-check their preparations. Anil and Raja assure Prem that they will take care of the café, but Prem remains worried.
Anil says he understands Prem’s concern, just as Rahi worries about Pranshi. Shruti suggests hiring an experienced person to manage the café while Prem is away.
Anil says they can hire someone else if she doesn’t trust him. Prem reassures them that he has complete faith in Anil and Raja.
Elsewhere, Khyati tells Anupama that Prem wants her on his team, but she doesn’t want to compete against Anupama.
Anupama convinces Khyati to join Prem’s team. She asks her to treat the event as a competition, not a war, and encourages her to support Prem without overthinking. Khyati finally agrees.
Raja asks Prem about Anupama’s team. Prem says he isn’t concerned and wants to focus on his own game.
However, he still worries because Meeta is trying to convince Pari, and his team feels incomplete without Khyati. Khyati then tells Prem she is joining his team, leaving him delighted.
Prerna feels anxious about the competition and fears disappointing Anupama. Ansh comforts her.
Ishani is also nervous, but Banku encourages her by sharing cooking tips and boosting her confidence.
Meanwhile, Paritosh tells Kinjal that she is working harder than Anupama and should ask for money. Kinjal playfully throws a pillow at him.
Paritosh accuses her of physically abusing him, while Kinjal says he mentally abuses her.
Elsewhere, Digvijay speaks to Saavi’s photograph about the competition. Mahi hopes that if they win, Anupama will give her money to help her restart her life.
Rahi notices Prem’s restlessness and asks what is bothering him. Prem keeps thinking about the competition.
He wants to defeat Anupama to prove that he can rebuild the dream he believes she destroyed. Rahi silently prays that the better team wins.
Anupama, on the other hand, hopes to win because she wants to build a home of her own.
Both Anupama’s and Prem’s teams spend a sleepless night thinking about the competition.
Hasmuk blesses Anupama’s team, while Vasundhara prays for Prem’s success.
The competition finally begins. The host asks all the teams to pose for the camera before introducing them.
Prem’s and Anupama’s teams are presented as rivals despite being family. The other contestants feel it is unfair for members of the same family to compete against each other.
Some even speculate that there must be a serious issue between the families, as they are publicly competing against one another.
The host then calls Prem and Anupama for a special photoshoot.
Anupama wishes Prem’s team good luck, but Prem coldly replies that they don’t need her wishes and shows her attitude.
The host begins explaining the competition rules.
Leela wonders why the host is talking about the Mahabharat instead of starting the contest. Hasmuk asks her to be patient.
Meanwhile, Anupama accidentally bumps into Rahi and advises her not to get overexcited or risk getting hurt. She asks Rahi to stay careful and says she wants to bless her.
Rahi touches Anupama’s feet. Anupama prays for Rahi’s victory, while Rahi says Anupama doesn’t need luck because she is already the best.
Prem remains focused on defeating Anupama. Digvijay advises him to concentrate on winning instead of wishing for their defeat.
Prem admits that Anupama’s defeat is exactly what he wants.
As Anupama and Rahi return, Anupama asks about the judges. Her team decides to learn more about them and plan their strategy.
At the same time, Khyati suggests that Prem’s team also prepare a winning strategy.
