Babu’s actions in this episode have lasting consequences that ripple through the next ten episodes—including a strike by office workers, an HR complaint, and a stunning confrontation where Anita (the intern) reveals she is the daughter of a major client.
Velamma’s reaction is chilling. She does not scold him. Instead, she smiles. She places the lunch box on his desk, turns to the terrified intern, and says sweetly: "You should listen to my son. He knows best. Now run along."
When she enters his cabin, she catches him mid-bullying session. He is screaming at a female intern, Anita, for using the wrong font on a memo.
As Babu drives to work, the inner monologue bubble reveals his frustration: "If I cannot be king in my own house, I will be god in my office." For the first fifteen pages of Episode 25, readers witness a brutal transformation. Babu, who was previously depicted as a mild-mannered, slightly incompetent junior manager, begins asserting dominance through fear.
