Shruti tries out a new approach to work only to find that it makes her feel worse than ever. Totally unsupported and feeling increasingly out of her depth, she starts to fall apart. At his engagement party, Adam is preoccupied by the hunt for the person who betrayed him, and is devastated when he learns the truth. His web of lies finally untangles, leaving his personal life in peril.
