In the 28th February 2025 episode of Apollena, Saraswati makes a desperate bargain with Maharani, risking everything to remove Apollena from Shlok’s life. Meanwhile, Mahadev confronts Saraswati over her lies, while Apollena faints under mysterious circumstances. Rupa grows suspicious of Saraswati and Ira’s scheme, leading to shocking revelations. Will Saraswati’s blind faith cost her everything?
Shlok convinces Apollena to drink the water, and she agrees, doing so for his sake. However, moments later, she faints, leaving Shlok terrified—only to reveal it was a prank. Later that night, as Shlok prepares to sleep, he urges Apollena to concentrate on her studies.
The following day, Mahadev confronts Saraswati after learning about her actions from Shlok. He advises her to let go of superstitions and place her trust in God. Saraswati, confident in her divine power, becomes uneasy when Mahadev questions her about a necklace. Nervously, she lies, claiming it is safely stored in the almari. When asked about the wedding necklace he had gifted her, she falsely states that she gave it to Munshi for polishing. Unconvinced, Mahadev decides to verify her claim, causing Saraswati to hurriedly leave.
Meanwhile, Apollena voices her suspicion to Shlok, suggesting that Maharani may have manipulated Saraswati for financial gain. However, Shlok dismisses the idea, believing his mother was only shielding Saraswati from negative forces. Apollena criticizes his support for superstition and insists that her faith lies in God rather than black magic. Complaining of a headache, she attributes it to lack of rest rather than any supernatural cause.
Elsewhere, Rupa shares her doubts about Saraswati and Ira’s scheme with Vedh. While Vedh reassures her that he won’t allow Maharani to deceive their family, Rupa remains skeptical. Meanwhile, Madhu performs a puja, and Girdar learns that their mother has gone to bathe at the Kumbh Mela. As Vandana serves him tea, Madhu subtly expresses her desire for Vandana to stay close to him. Later, Apollena faints in the kitchen, prompting Rupa to rush to her aid, leading to the discovery of a hidden truth.
Eager to send Mahadev off to work, Saraswati becomes restless when Maharani arrives. Sensing her desperation, Mahadev urges Saraswati to resolve the issue before his return. Saraswati pleads for the necklace she had given Maharani, even offering more in exchange. However, Maharani refuses, claiming she has already donated it to God and cannot retrieve it. Instead, she demands additional jewelry for the puja.
Challenging Saraswati’s so-called divine power, Ira demands proof before granting any further requests. Suddenly, Shlok’s panicked voice rings out—Apollena has fainted. Seizing the opportunity, Maharani takes credit, assuring Saraswati that she will permanently remove Apollena from Shlok’s life.
Shlok and Rupa are left in shock as they witness Saraswati handing over a vast collection of jewels to Maharani. Meanwhile, Madhu presents Girdar with a letter, revealing that court officials are coming to meet him. Alarmed, she informs Saraswati, who, in turn, urges Maharani to ensure Apollena is removed from her home once and for all.
