The episode opens on the much-anticipated match day, and there is a palpable tension in the air as Heer anxiously searches for Nawab, who is nowhere to be found. Her worry is evident, but Buzzo, her supportive friend, tries to reassure her, insisting that Nawab will show up. Just as her anxiety peaks, Nawab makes his entrance, and the atmosphere shifts. Tina, eager to get Nawab’s signature on a piece of paper, approaches him. He takes the paper from her but, in a surprising twist, tears it into pieces and tosses the remnants into the air, showcasing a rebellious streak.
As the scene unfolds, Chadda steps in to introduce Arjun, highlighting him as the brightest star of their college. Meanwhile, Nawab approaches Heer with a confident demeanor, telling her to get ready because he plans to bring the storm with his four and sixes during the match. Arjun, feeling the pressure, informs Nawab that he and Sushil will be handling the opening. Nawab gives them the green light, but Arjun can’t shake off a sense of unease about the situation.
Tina, concerned about the paperwork, informs Gulab that Nawab has yet to sign it. Gulab instructs her to wait, sensing that the situation is about to escalate.
As the match begins, Arjun and Sushil step up for the opening, but things take a sudden turn when Arjun feels dizzy and collapses. A crowd quickly gathers, and everyone rushes to assist him. In the chaos, the coach discovers drugs hidden in Arjun’s bag, leading to the shocking revelation that Arjun has overdosed.
Heer, determined to defend Arjun’s character, insists to the Dean that he would never resort to drugs or shortcuts to enhance his performance. However, the doctor confirms that they found a special drug designed to boost athletic performance. The conversation shifts when others mention seeing Nawab entering the locker room, raising suspicions. The Dean requests the CCTV footage, and when it is reviewed, it appears to confirm that Nawab was indeed in the locker room at the critical moment.
Confronted with the evidence, Nawab denies having gone to the locker room, but the Dean firmly states that the footage implicates him in the controversy surrounding Arjun’s overdose. In a moment of emotional turmoil, Heer slaps Nawab in front of everyone, expressing her frustration and disappointment. She feels that despite her efforts to support him against the world, Nawab has continuously let her down.
Heer accuses him of being a loser, a label that resonates with the crowd, intensifying Nawab’s distress. Feeling humiliated, Nawab walks away, leaving Heer in tears. She reflects on her belief that Gulab has triumphed in this situation, while Nawab finds a moment of solitude beside the temple, pleading with God for his innocence. Meanwhile, Heer grapples with feelings of betrayal.
As Arjun regains consciousness, Gurlin takes the opportunity to lead Heer to his side, hoping to provide comfort during this chaotic time.
In a tense confrontation, Gulab approaches Nawab, urging him to get up and come with her. The Dean intervenes, stating that Nawab cannot leave because the police are on their way. Gulab asserts her authority, declaring that Nawab is her son and that her lawyer will handle any legal issues that arise. Gurlin encourages Arjun to acknowledge Heer’s presence, but as they speak, Heer notices Gulab attempting to lead Nawab away. In a moment of frustration, Nawab pushes Gulab, demanding to know why she is acting this way.
Gulab, with a fierce determination, tells Nawab that he is responsible for his own actions and insists that he should learn from her. She emphasizes that everything she has done is for him, revealing her deep love and concern for her son. Nawab challenges her, asking why she has made Heer feel powerless to stay with him. Gulab retorts that Heer is not his true love, arguing that she was trying to change him rather than accepting him for who he is. She continues to express her love for him, urging him to find happiness despite the current turmoil.
Gulab reminds Nawab that Heer has abandoned him and highlights how his loyalty to her has isolated him from everyone else. As they converse, Nawab notices the wounds on Gulab’s hands, filled with worry for her well-being. Gulab reassures him that everything will be alright, encouraging him to return with her. Nawab, however, feels overwhelmed and requests some time to think things through. Gulab agrees to give him space, patiently waiting for him to come to a decision. Tina, witnessing the exchange, advises Gulab to stop Nawab from leaving, but Gulab remains confident that he will return.
Meanwhile, Heer prepares coffee for Gurlin, and just then, Nawab calls her. Gurlin urges Heer to answer the call, but Heer, feeling betrayed, disconnects before he can say anything, leaving Nawab in a state of paranoia. Buzzo tries to calm Nawab down, hoping that Heer will reconsider and reach out to him. In a moment of symbolism, Heer’s locket falls, causing Nawab to feel a wave of anxiety.
As the episode draws to a close, the tension escalates when Arjun decides to visit Heer’s husband, only for Nawab to arrive at the same time, setting the stage for an inevitable confrontation.
**Precap:** The scene hints at an impending clash between Arjun and Nawab, both of whom are bound by their complicated relationships with Heer, leading to an uncertain and dramatic turn of events.
