The episode opens with a poignant conversation between Katha and Naina. Katha expresses her deep-seated feelings about the injustices women face, stating that every time she witnesses a man insulting a woman, it feels like an insult to her own mother. The pain of her mother’s struggles weighs heavily on her heart, and she confides in Naina that this pain is slowly killing her. Katha’s voice trembles with emotion as she questions why women must endure such humiliation and suffering.
Naina, reflecting on her own experiences—particularly Tejas’s hurtful behavior—tears up and shares her frustration. She confesses to Katha that she cannot tolerate anyone insulting her, especially not Katha herself. Katha, sensing Naina’s distress, reassures her, urging her to inform her immediately if anyone speaks ill of her. Naina promises to do so, but she also takes the opportunity to advise Katha to be cautious. However, Katha’s determination shines through as she declares her intention to punish those who commit wrongs against women, emphasizing that she will not stand idly by.
The scene shifts to the college, where tension fills the air. Sandy approaches Tammy, directly questioning her involvement in Prerna’s kidnapping. He warns her about the potential consequences of UV’s anger, which she will have to face if she is indeed involved. In a shocking turn of events, Tammy admits her culpability, confessing that she orchestrated the kidnapping. This revelation stuns UV’s friends, as well as his cousins, who arrive just in time to hear her confession. They react with outrage, rebuking Tammy for her actions and insisting that she apologize to Katha. They believe that a sincere apology could sway Katha to withdraw her complaint against UV.
Despite their pleas, Tammy stubbornly refuses to apologize, insisting that her actions were justified. She tries to defend herself, but her friends and family are visibly upset by her lack of remorse.
As Katha arrives at the college, she notices UV’s cousins and friends waiting for her, their expressions a mix of concern and urgency. Initially, she decides to ignore them, but the pressure mounts as UV’s cousins urge Tammy to apologize to Katha. In a moment of confrontation, Tammy grabs Katha’s hand, stopping her from walking away.
Tammy, with a hint of desperation, explains that she was furious when Katha slapped UV in front of everyone. She thought that by targeting Prerna, Katha would feel compelled to come to her rescue. Tammy claims that UV was completely unaware of her plan and pleads for Katha’s forgiveness. Katha, filled with rage, lashes out at Tammy, condemning her for trying to harm another woman, especially Prerna.
Tammy attempts to defend her actions by blaming Prerna, but Katha harshly criticizes her for refusing to take responsibility for her mistakes. Katha firmly states that she will not forgive Tammy for her actions, leaving no room for negotiation.
Before Katha can leave, UV’s cousins plead with her to reconsider. They each take turns asking Katha to understand that UV is innocent in this matter and implore her to withdraw her complaint against him. Sandy, feeling guilty about his earlier actions, also apologizes to Katha for going live without her consent. Katha listens in silence, her expression unreadable as she processes their words.
Later, at the police station, the atmosphere is tense as Pari voices her thoughts to the group. She asserts that even if Katha decides to withdraw her complaint against UV, she will never forgive him. The group anxiously awaits Katha’s arrival, wondering if she will help secure UV’s release from prison. Tammy, frustrated and overwhelmed, vents her anger at everyone, particularly blaming UV’s cousins for their ineffectiveness. Pratty scolds Tammy, reminding her that she is responsible for UV’s predicament and chastising Sandy for his role in the situation. He expresses hope that Katha will ultimately choose to withdraw her complaint.
When Katha finally arrives at the police station, she approaches the inspector with a clear resolve. Tammy’s fury boils over as she watches Katha, and she becomes determined to not let Katha off easily. Katha meets with the inspector, explaining that she is withdrawing her complaint against UV, not because she is being coerced, but due to the lack of evidence against him. After signing the necessary paperwork, she turns to leave.
As UV emerges from the prison, he embraces his cousins and friends, but his demeanor shifts when he spots Katha. Upon learning that Katha’s decision has facilitated his release, he becomes enraged, demanding that the inspector arrest him again. The inspector, exasperated, scolds UV for his outburst and warns him to behave. In a mocking tone, UV lashes out at Katha, but she stands her ground, warning him that she will not allow him to reopen his café. UV’s shock is evident as he processes her words.
