Robin appears to have a meeting going in his office when the family arrives. The goon is tossed into Robin, effectively interrupting the meeting. Grandpa demands to know why he sent this man to kill Rajesh. Robin says that he actually sent him to intimidate Raju, not Rajesh. Rajesh takes this opportunity to show just how liquid his spine and loyalties are, and says that Robin was the mastermind of this whole thing since Raju was moving in on Sonia. Grandpa tells him that if Sonia and Raju are in love, there's nothing they can do to stop them.

Robin tells them that Sonia's out at the mall if Raju wants to see her. He finds her there but she's mad at him. Apparently he hasn't called in a week (actually, Robin was preventing these calls) and wants nothing to do with him. She pushes him away, causing him to trip and fall. On his way to the floor he manages to take out Sanjay Dutt in his second cameo appearance! Sonia helps Sanjay up and they begin some flirty dialog. Finally Sonia walks off after spending several minutes making lots of alluring comments and leaving her card with Sanjay. Raju takes him aside and explains who she is and how she was trying to make him jealous. He goes off to win back her heart the only way he knows how - a song! Let's see if the theme song, "Yeh Hai Jalwa" can melt that icy heart.

With that crisis resolved, it's time for more family stuff. We find Raju at home performing a party trick where he claims to be able to "read people's faces." He starts with Grandpa, and tells us that he's a hard working man who has earned everything he has. His "credibility" thus established, he moves on to a protesting Rajesh. After some hemming and hawing, he finally gets him to sit down. He tells Rajesh that he will be a success, and riches will lie at his feet. He is also destined to have one daughter and bum bum bum... two sons! He then takes on a grave tone, and asks to speak with only Rajesh, for he's seen something serious. Smita and Grandpa tell him that they have no secrets, and anything he has to say he can say it right now.

Raju takes a deep breath, and after many many dramatic pauses, he tells them that in Rajesh's lifetime, he's had the love of two women. Naturally Smita's reacts unfavorably to this news. Rajesh asks who she's going to believe, him or Raju. He storms off before she can reply. Raju apologizes for upsetting them, but he was just telling them what he saw in Rajesh's face.

That night Smita and Rajesh are having an argument. He asks her if she trusts him, but she brings up the cheating couple from earlier. That man's wife trusted him, and look where it got her. As they fight, we see Raju peering in around the doorway, obviously enjoying this. Yes, he definitely loves his family and wants to be close to them all right. Sheesh.
