The scene is set in May1982, after the stock market crash. The episode starts with  Ashwin's wife working in a parlour. On returning home,  she has a conversation with Ashwin. He is worried about their financial crisis and wants to take up a Sri Lanka based job. offered to him. Howevershe trusts Harshad and asks Ashwin to not take any big decisions right away, for Harshad is there to pull them out of this crisis. Also, for now,  she can support the family financially with her salary. 

Harshad and Ashwin’s father, Shantilal, asks them about the debt they have to clear after the loss. Ashwin answers that they still have Rs. seven lakhs to pay back. Next day, they visit Suresh, one of their brokers' who has suspended their trading account due to the loss. Shantilal pays him back by giving him all the family gold and their property papers. Suresh refuses to accept the property papers as they are well acquainted and therefore he trusts them. The Mehtas promise to pay the rest of the amount in installments.

At night, Shantilal sits beside Harshad to talk. He is worried that they might have to leave Bombay and suggests Harshad to get a proper job. But Harshad does not want to leave the Bombay Stock Exchange. He asks his father to go and sleep peacefully.

But very unfortunately, Shantilal goes through a heart attack in the middle of the night and passes away.

Next day when people come to pay tribute to Shantilal, Ashwin and Harshad are standing at a distance where Ashwin is seen sobbing. Ashwin regrets not having any knowledge of his father’s heart condition, or they would have taken him to the hospital. Harshad says that they do not have enough money for the treatment, and it is a good thing that he faced a peaceful death. Ashwin tells him how their father was always worried about Harshad.

One day, both the brothers are seen sitting at a tea stall near the Bombay Stock Exchange when Ashwin tells Harshad about his job in Sri Lanka. Harshad does not look happy on hearing this. He wants him to stay and assures Ashwin that they will find a way out of their financial crisis. While they were talking, Vikas, a friend of Harshad, comes up to them and thanks Harshad for his good advice. His advice had helped Vikas make a substantial profit in the share market. Harshad gets an idea -. he suggests Ashwin to open a consultancy firm together. He explains they will advise their clients and help them make profits, which will help the brothers earn commission. 

To give their idea a foundation, they both go to their very first client who is a chartered accountant and persuade him to invest Rs. One lakh with them. 

Harshad and Ashwin named their company ‘Growmore’.

They then go to their other client, Suresh Bhai, who has already made an appearance earlier in this episode. Suresh says how  english names help Indian companies grow more and also invests with them.

They rent their father's former office in Kalbadevi. It is small and not maintained, but Harshad settles for it due to his sentimental attachment to the place.

The next morning, Harshad comes to the office with loads of tea packets in his arms. He explains that the unseasonal monsoon in Africa has led to decline in their tea exports, which is a great opportunity for Indian tea manufacturers. Thus they would invest their clients money in Indian tea companies - a great example of the Harshad Mehta wit.
