Nowadays, people may forget their birthdays and anniversaries but a long weekend is something everyone has marked on their calendars right at the start of the year. Some have preset plans while others try to desperately figure something out at the last minute.
In offices, resources from teams are often exchanged temporarily depending on project requirements. In one such transfer, Piyush is made to join a team on a different floor for a month.

He has just exhibited his unprofessionalism by shooting a resignation mail and nobody knows it. Gautam and Piyush devise a plan. Will they be successful?
Piyush and Gautam notice that the exit interviews are going on for the employees. Piyush realizes that every employee is a cost as well as a resource. 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.

Meanwhile, Piyush gets a message from Rashmi regarding the schedule of his job interview.
