This week on Mangoes, the trio Asha, Rakkay and Sami faced reality i.e. problems experienced in the real world. Sami is still struggling with his job and wasn't able to make enough sales and thus did not get enough pay for the month. And Rakkay's father stopped sending him money so they were broke! The trio decided to move into a smaller house and went house hunting in this episode.

Alongside the story of house hunting, this episode was also about stereotyping people - how people judge others based on their perceptions. The trio had a Chinese realtor and Rakkay being the person that he is, asked her all kinds of stereotypical and racist questions.

There was not much to the story in this episode and it did not really move forward other than Asha and Sami's story. Asha feels jealous when Sami hugs the realtor but that was about it. Their house hunting also didn't go well because they couldn't find any house good and cheap enough to rent.

The nosy neighbour also made an appearance in this episode and said the same stereotypical things Rakkay said to the Chinese realtor. Maybe Rakkay reflects the typical desi uncle. The picky Punjabi customer who annoys Sami before at the furniture store also makes an appearance again and had us laughing.

All in all, this episode didn't have much development but was interesting and funny nonetheless.
