The episode opens with a tense and heated confrontation between Udhayveer and Katha, the air thick with unresolved tension. Udhayveer’s frustration boils over as he confronts Katha, but she reacts with unexpected fury. In a moment that leaves everyone in shock, Katha slaps Udhayveer, her emotions spilling over. She lashes out, her voice trembling with anger as she expresses her deep-seated frustration with men. This anger is rooted in her painful past; she reveals that her father abandoned the family during her childhood, leaving her with scars that still ache.
When Udhayveer, perhaps unwisely, mentions her father in the heat of the moment, it only serves to fuel her rage further. Katha’s words become sharper as she criticizes Udhayveer’s mother and the values she instilled in him, viewing them as part of the cycle of abandonment and betrayal she has experienced. Udhayveer, taken aback by her words, loses his temper upon hearing her speak about his mother. The confrontation escalates, with both of them exchanging hurtful remarks that reveal the depth of their pain and resentment.
Meanwhile, in her office, Mrs. Agarwal, the college principal, is grappling with the consequences of the disturbances caused by the campus café, which has become a hotspot for conflict. She decides that enough is enough and instructs Katha to file a formal complaint with the governing body to shut the café down. However, Katha, feeling disillusioned and defeated, refuses to comply. She blames herself for trusting a man again, her heart heavy with disappointment and regret.
Back in his room, Udhayveer is consumed by rage, disturbed by Katha’s harsh words about his character. Memories of his mother flood his mind, and he finds himself trying, yet again, to recreate a dish she used to make for him—a dish that has become a symbol of his longing for her presence. He believes that if he can make it perfectly, it might somehow bridge the gap between them, as if the act of cooking could bring her back to him. However, each failed attempt only deepens his frustration, leaving him feeling more isolated and hurt.
As he struggles in the kitchen, Rukmini arrives, drawn by the commotion. She finds Udhayveer in a state of turmoil and is confronted by his anger. He questions her about why she didn’t stop his mother from leaving, his voice rising with emotion. Rukmini remains silent, offering no explanation, her eyes filled with a mix of sadness and understanding. Harshvardhan, witnessing the exchange, is unsympathetic towards Udhayveer’s plight. He criticizes Udhayveer’s mother for abandoning her responsibilities, his harsh words echoing in the room. In a quiet moment, Rukmini expresses a wish for Udhayveer to find a girl who would truly understand him, her voice barely above a whisper, revealing her concern for his well-being.
Elsewhere, Katha’s mother and sister are becoming increasingly worried as they are unable to reach her. Vandana, filled with anxiety, keeps glancing at the door, her heart heavy with concern for her daughter’s safety. The tension in their home is palpable, as they fear the worst and pray for Katha’s safe return.
Meanwhile, Katha wanders alone, her mind replaying Udhayveer’s hurtful words over and over again. She is engulfed in regret, questioning why she ever put her trust in him. Her thoughts are so consumed by her internal struggle that she fails to notice a car speeding towards her, the sound of its engine roaring in the background. Just as danger seems imminent, Udhayveer appears out of nowhere, rushing to her side and saving her life in a split second.
The episode ends on a cliffhanger, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats as they anticipate the aftermath of this life-saving moment and the complex emotions that will unfold between Udhayveer and Katha.
