The episode begins with Harshvardan approaching Eshwar, expressing his deep concern for UV, who is currently imprisoned. Harshvardan acknowledges the disappointment that UV has caused Eshwar, but he earnestly pleads for Eshwar’s help in securing UV’s release from prison. He shares his own feelings of anguish regarding his strained relationship with UV, revealing that their bond has been tested over time. Despite his frustrations, Harshvardan promises that once UV is released, he will take it upon himself to advise UV to change for the better, indicating his hope for redemption.
Vinith, another family member, also joins in the request to Eshwar, urging him to assist UV. However, Ambika interjects, cautioning Vinith against interfering in the matter. She expresses her concerns that if Eshwar and UV grow closer, it could jeopardize the inheritance of their children, specifically their share of the Jindal family property. This revelation adds a layer of tension, as family loyalties and financial stakes intertwine.
Shikha, empathetic towards UV’s plight, attempts to explain his behavior to Eshwar. She highlights that UV has longed for his mother’s love for years, which has deeply affected his actions and decisions. Shikha pleads with Eshwar to approach UV with kindness and understanding, hoping that a gentle approach might help mend the rift between them.
In response, Eshwar addresses his family, stating that he attempted to communicate with UV but was met with insults. This encounter has solidified his resolve not to use his influence to help UV escape his current situation. Eshwar expresses a harsh sentiment, wishing for UV to face the consequences of his actions, believing that punishment is warranted for his crimes. Rukhmani, concerned about the family dynamics, questions Eshwar’s feelings towards UV, asking why he hasn’t sent UV to a boarding school if he harbors such disdain. Eshwar dismisses her inquiry, asserting that he is not obligated to justify his decisions to anyone. He takes the opportunity to taunt Rukhmani, suggesting that her affection has only spoiled UV further.
At that moment, UV’s cousins arrive, demanding their maid to tend to their needs. Eshwar seizes the chance to taunt them, expressing his frustration over their entitled behavior. Ambika tries to intervene, urging Om and Ash to listen to her, but Om rebuffs her, insisting that she should stop trying to create divisions between the siblings. He storms off, leaving Eshwar to vent his frustrations about the grandchildren’s behavior, feeling overwhelmed by the family’s ongoing issues.
Meanwhile, at college, UV’s friends—Sandy, Bunny, and Tammy—are fiercely protesting for UV’s release. They take to social media, broadcasting their demands live to their followers. Tammy takes the lead, answering questions from the audience and passionately defending UV’s innocence, which resonates with his fans and boosts their spirits. Their show of support brings a sense of hope to UV’s friends, who feel empowered by the collective effort.
Just then, Katha arrives at the college with Naina and Prerna. Tammy confronts Katha, blaming her for UV’s arrest and the turmoil that has ensued. In a moment of humiliation, someone throws cow dung at Katha, provoking laughter from UV’s friends and fans. This incident triggers memories for Katha, reminding her of a similar experience from her childhood. Despite the embarrassment of the situation, Katha asserts that her true indignation stems from being recorded without her consent rather than the physical act itself. She demands that UV’s friends stop filming her, asserting her right to privacy. Tammy, however, continues to insult Katha, insisting that she apologize to UV and his supporters. Naina tries to pull Katha away from the confrontation, but Katha stands her ground, declaring her intention to ensure that UV acknowledges his wrongdoings.
Back at the police station, UV’s temper flares when his fellow inmates taunt him. In a fit of rage, he engages in a physical altercation with them, drawing the attention of the inspector, who arrives to issue a stern warning. Frustrated and angry, UV finds himself cursing both Katha and Eshwar for their relentless efforts to shut down his café, which he views as a personal attack on his dreams.
Meanwhile, under Pratty’s guidance, UV’s cousins approach Prerna, pleading with her to convince Katha to withdraw her complaint against UV. Initially resistant, Prerna finds herself swayed by their heartfelt entreaties. She contemplates how best to persuade Katha to reconsider her stance. At the same time, Naina helps Katha clean off the cow dung, offering her support. Katha reflects on her past trust in UV and blames herself for the current situation. Naina reassures her, encouraging her not to shoulder the blame alone. Katha expresses that her fight is not merely about personal pride but about standing up for everyone affected by UV’s actions.
As the episode concludes, the precap reveals a pivotal moment: Katha decides to withdraw her complaint against UV, but she firmly states that she will not allow him to reopen his café, leaving UV shocked and confronted with the reality of his situation.
