(Once again I missed the first 20 min. So please feel free to make any additions to this update in case of any mistakes on my part)
The detective, Mr. Shah confronts Vish with the account statements. Vish gets very angry when the detective hints that he might be manipulating the accounts for his own gain. Mrs. Hawkins, the AIR of HK spreads the news everywhere. Everyone is surprised and sympathize with Vish as they know he could not do such things. Meanwhile Ashok, taking the higher moral ground, taunts Vish by saying that his friends from the troupe stole a number of things from their room. Vish sarcastically says that he knows how much Ashok cares about HK. Vish replies that the expenses of the toiletries were already covered in the booking charges, so it doesn't matter if they take it with them. Ashok then tells him that they also stole the curtains and the bed-sheets and hands over their bills to him. Vish gets even more disturbed. Colonel, who was passing from there just then, remarks that maybe he's trying to shift the blame onto you so be careful.
Vish calls up Dharam and tells him that he wants the number of things taken by the troupe members immediately. He says only after deducting the cost of the things stolen will the payment be done. Payal calls out to him but he tells her that he's in no mood to talk to anyone. Payal says that she just wanted to tell him that M (I don't know the name of the girl who played the role of Shelly's PA, so I'm calling her M) has come. Vish goes to his desk to find her happily gossiping away with Mrs. Hawkins. Vish asks her grumpily what she's doing in HK since she's heavily pregnant. She tells him that it's all because of Shelly. That gets his antenna up. She tells him that Shelly called her immediately to the hotel without giving any reason. Vish just thinks 'that lady…' (Must be giving gaalis in his head)
Akash has a chat with the bearded guy (the one who looks like Kabir Bedi). That guy threatens him saying that Akash has only 30 days to take over HK; else he will change his proxy at the board. Akash brushes off his threat saying that he was the one who started the battle and he will be the one who finishes it.
Meanwhile Sujit is having a tough time in the kitchen thanks to the trainees and Nick who wants to poke his irritating nose in everything. Nick has the galls to teach Sujit what he thinks is the right way to do the dish. One of the trainees, who I think is gay, starts giving weird looks to Nick, who freaks out and spills the sauce all over. Sujit storms out of the kitchen, only to meet Mr. Sahai who was taking a tour of the hotel. Mr. Sahai sees his disturbed state and asks him what the problem is. At first Sujit gets very flustered on seeing him there and avoids telling him, but when Mr. Sahai goads him, he complains about Nick without actually naming him. But Mr. Sahai understands who he's talking about. He says, 'so Nick has reached the kitchen now.' Just then Nick comes there and invites Mr. Sahai to the kitchen. He tells him that he's teaching the trainees to be professional. Mr. Sahai pours cold water on Nick's enthusiasm by telling him to let Sujit train them first. Nick can teach them the finer points later. He tells Nick to come to the restaurant. Sujit heaves a sigh of relief. Nick meanwhile is in the restaurant, with a timer to see how fast the service is. When the trainees arrive with the food real fast, he's impressed. But as usual, he has problems with the food and everything else. The gay trainee is there too and he keeps on staring at Nick. Nick shoos him away.
Outside in the lobby, Vish and Payal are discussing his problem. Payal very innocently tells him to tell the detective that she was handling the bills. Vish flatly refuses saying that he will not push his problem onto her. She then suggests that he should submit fake bills. At this, Vish asks her if she's trying to solve his problem or get him arrested for "char-sau-bisi". Payal tells him all this would not have happened had he been in Shelly's good books. He just scoffs at this saying that he has been made a scrape goat. Mr. Sahai overhears this and asks for an explanation. Just like Sujit, even Vish gets surprised on seeing him there. Shelly comes there at that very moment along with Shah and is surprised to see her dad in HK. She asks him how come he's in HK when he was supposed to be discharged two days later. Mr. Sahai jovially replies that since it's his hotel, he can come there whenever he wants. He then asks Vish again what the problem was. Before Vish could reply, Shelly tells dad that it's just the tension of the enquiry initiated by Shah. Vish retorts that he is cooperating fully with the enquiry. Shelly retorts back by asking why he had to run to dad to complain in that case. Mr. Sahai attempts to clear the misunderstanding by telling his daughter that Vish did not tell him anything and he was the one who asked him. He also asks Shah why he did not come to meet him, since he was the MD in the period that Shah was investigating and not his daughter. Shelly defends Shah saying that they did not want to disturb him in the hospital. Mr. Sahai and Shah then leave for their meeting. Shelly and Vish have a staring match and then she just turns and leaves (I wonder how many of these matches did Shelly win. I guess zilch…hehe).
Mr. Sahai and Shah are discussing the discrepancies in the account statements. Govind shoots down all his arguments. Basically he's angry with Shah for exceeding his brief and checking the contingency allotments. After Shah leaves, Devyani calls up. While he's talking to her, Shelly comes there and he immediately cuts the call. He tells her that he's not happy with her 'fishing expedition'. When Shelly says that it's just a routine investigation, her dad asks her why then has Vish been targeted. Shelly says that no one has been targeted and that Shah is just doing his job but Govind disagrees.
Shah goes to the parlour to question Mallishka. He asks her why some guest was given 50% discount at the parlour. She says it was because Vish said so (One more nail in the coffin for Vish). Just then Mrs. Gupte, M, Mrs. Hawkins, Priyesh all come to the parlour. Mallishka is in a hurry since she has to go on a date. The others teasingly ask her if its with Priyesh but she denies it. Just then the new trainee comes there and gives a hilarious account of Nick in the restaurant. She compares him to a crying baby…haha! She also says that during her night duty, she feels very insecure. The others ally her fears saying the only person she will encounter is Mrs. Hawkins who sleep walks.
Vish catches Shelly in the lift. She tells him that he has nothing to worry if he's innocent. He tells her that he has the vouchers of the bills. Shelly says that she believes in evidence and she wants to see the bills. She tells him that only after seeing the evidence she will determine how 'innocent' Vish really is. Vish gets the hint. He tells her that since she has already decided that he is guilty, he will accept her challenge and prove himself innocent. Shelly has a meeting with Shah where he tells her that someone is manipulating the accounts to destroy the hotel and not for personal gain. This gets her thinking. Meanwhile Vish comes to her office and keeps the updated account book. As soon as he leaves, Ashok comes there and replaces the book with another book.
Later we see Shelly with her dad. She tries to defend Nick saying that he's taking a lot of interest in the working of HK and the service has improved a lot because of that. Govind tells her that it's because he managed to drag Nick away from the kitchen. They then decide not to discuss HK, Vish and Nick. During their talk Shelly accidentally lets it slip that the corporate detective was Nick's idea. This shocks Govind who wants to know why Nick is taking decisions for HK. Shelly placates him that she takes all the decisions. Shelly tells him that it was Nick who had got the trainees. She tells him that the good ones can be absorbed into the hotel. Govind warns her that she shouldn't do anything which will create insecurity in the staff.
Vish is walking in the gangway when he sees Shelly coming from the other side. He nods to her and they cross each other. After walking a few steps, Shelly turns round to see Vish. As soon as she turns back again, Vish turns around to glance at her. You can feel the tension between them. Later both of them turn around at the same time to find themselves staring at each other (sooo sweeeet). Both of them feel very awkward. To find a way out of it, Vish bids her good night. Shelly comes to him and asks him about the accounts. (Maybe after hearing from Shah that the manipulation was done to destroy HK finances, Shelly has second doubts about Vish) Vish tells her that currently he's doing night duty filling in for someone else. Shelly tells him to first finish the accounting job. She then goes to Nick's room where they discuss the problem. Shelly thinks aloud that maybe dad knows that Vish knows about the missing money which is why he's shielding him. (Why does she have to toe Nick's line constantly? Just when we thought his influence was wearing off.Listen to your heart which is saying that Vish is innocent. But then it would be a big blow to your ego) Meanwhile Vish is going to his room when he hears someone scream. It's the new trainee who was doing her night duty.
P.S. There was this funny scene where Priyesh is teaching the trainees how to look busy when they are doing nothing.
