Piyush gets news that the office will be closed for a month since the office building has collapsed because of the torrential rains in the town. He is all set to party but his dream shatters as his new roommate Gautam wakes him up. It’s Monday. Dejected Piyush reaches the office.

Piyush gets a call from SoftTech for a new job. Will Piyush accept the offer?

Sunaina re-checks with Piyush about the Jefferson's project, Piyush is about to lambaste her but the trouble awaits him. The coding work goes out of control and he faces the ‘code phat gaya!’ situation. Piyush is sure that he does not deserve his current job where competitive employees like Sunaina are already outshining him. In a drunken state, he sends a message to Rashmi (HR SoftTech) asking to fix his interview asap and then tenders his resignation to Dhume by writing an informal and offensive mail. Is this the end of Piyush's journey at Synnotech?
It’s the appraisal day in the office. Megha reminds Piyush of his recent goof-up and he is asked how he would feel if he is assigned the bench. Piyush is heartbroken.

When the cost factor overpowers the resource factor, the employee becomes the liability and is given the pink slip. RDX has been given the pink slip. Though Piyush never liked RDX, he feels bad for him. Piyush surprises him as he runs an emotional slideshow of the RDX's old pictures. Later he gets a pleasant surprise when he gets a mail regarding his new job role for the temporary project lead. He is thrilled to know that he will be assigned a cabin. Meanwhile, Piyush gets a message from Rashmi regarding the schedule of his job interview.
