As Bigg Boss 13 geared up for the mid-season finale, the housemates are trying different ways to secure their position inside the house. The environment got really heated up with arguments, fights and tears in Tuesday’s episode.

Sidharth Shukla told Devoleena that he was upset with her as she didn’t support him in the power card task and chose Rashami Desai over him. He told her that she is not loyal and can’t take a stand, at which she got upset and burst into tears. Aarti consoled Devoleena and asked her to clear things with Shukla. Devoleena and Siddharth Shukla later had a chit-chat in the washroom, where Devoleena explained to Siddharth why she picked Rashami over him.

Later on when Rashami was making breakfast for the house inmates. Shehnaz tells everyone that they will get only one rotis from now on and Asim Riaz, Sidharth, and Arti wonder why. Arti then asks Rashami for the reason to which she says because they are paranthas. She explains why she is making only one because it is filling and Asim also gets into the discussion. As the debate grew intense, Paras intervened and it turned into a fight between him and Asim. Paras told him that Rashami has been feeding everyone since day one and people should respect it. Asim also fought with Mahira and Siddhartha Dey.

Later, Bigg Boss announced the ‘Toy Factory task’ which would bring an advantage for the girls. As per the task, the contestants were divided into two teams – Shukla’s and Chhabra’s. Aarti, Shefali, Shehnaaz and Asim were in Shukla’s team while Devoleena, Rashami, Mahira and Siddharth Dey represented Chhabra’s. According to the rules of the game, two members from each group can grab the maximum raw material sent through a container in the garden area. Bigg Boss will then ask them to make toys from those raw materials in a limited period of time at regular intervals. After stuffing cotton in 10 toys, the leader of the opponent team will inspect the toys. The team which makes the maximum number of toys will win. Not to miss, only the toys approved by the opponent team’s captain will be accepted in the task. A female contestant from the winning team will become the next queen of the Bigg Boss house and will also go on to win a direct ticket to the mid-season finale.

Sidharth Shukla talks to his team while Paras talks to his about approving and disapproving the toys. Paras says he will approve one for every two toys approved and discuss how no one there is capable of doing the task. Sidharth and Shefali discuss their plan about how they want to do things while Devoleena, Mahira, and Rashami pray. Paras talks to Mahira about becoming the Queen while Shefali and Arti too discuss the Queen task.

The first buzzer ringed and the contestants started the task. However, it took a serious turn when one of the contestants of the opponent team stole Devoleena’s share of raw cotton. Asim and Rashami got into another verbal argument over the share of raw material. When the teams were ready with their toys, Paras went in first and rejected all the toys of Shukla’s team, which left Siddharth Shukla and Aarti furious. When his turn came, Siddharth Shukla also rejected all of Chhabra team’s toys.

Later in the house, when Devoleena asked Paras to stop talking to Shehnaaz or she will give him black rings, Shehnaaz gets upset and starts arguing with Devoleena. Once again, Paras became the centre of attraction in Devoleena-Shehnaaz’s nasty spat.
