The episode begins with a tense exchange between Tina and Nawab. Tina approaches Nawab, inquiring if he has been with Heer, to which Nawab responds by gesturing towards his wounded arm. Concerned, Tina questions Nawab about his drunken state, advising him not to stress himself out. Despite her concern, she feels helpless in providing any real assistance to Nawab.
Meanwhile, Sujit engages Pammi in a conversation, suggesting that no one in the village is familiar with Varun’s family. He proposes that Pammi should consider finding a suitable life partner for Varun within India. Nilu, eager to contribute, chimes in, urging Pammi to heed her father’s advice. However, the others quickly silence her, with Lovely and Biji insisting that Nilu should refrain from involving herself in this matter. Ajit also interjects, advising Nilu to stay out of the discussion. Tony, attempting to steer the focus back to more lighthearted matters, suggests that Pammi should not choose Varun as her son’s partner. Pammi, slightly annoyed, tells Tony to go back to playing his video games.
As the atmosphere shifts, everyone becomes engrossed in their exam preparations. Tina takes it upon herself to assist Nawab, who is struggling with a hangover. Heer, noticing Nawab’s distress, decides to lend a hand as well. Despite Tina’s efforts, Nawab confesses to Tina that he is still suffering from a headache. Tina suggests he drink some lemon water, promising it will provide relief. Nawab, feeling weak and vulnerable, finds himself leaning on Heer for support.
As Heer organizes her books in the locker, Nawab inquires about her decision regarding their earlier conversation. Heer firmly tells Nawab that she will not entertain his distasteful suggestions. In response, Nawab insists that she should listen to him, implying that he has various ways to persuade her. Heer, unfazed, reminds Nawab of their previous agreement, and he retorts by calling her a source of bad luck in his life.
The scene shifts as Nawab discovers a question paper on his table, prompting him to head to the examination hall. As the exam begins, everyone is focused on their papers, and Nawab is startled to find a question that he had previously encountered in the canteen. The professor overseeing the exam becomes suspicious when he learns that a student has completed the paper unusually quickly. His suspicions deepen when he examines the answer scripts and realizes something is amiss. Consequently, he decides to call off the exam, instructing everyone to remain in the college as they investigate the source of the leak.
During the inquiry, a teacher discovers the question paper among Heer’s books, leading to her suspension for allegedly leaking the exam. The teacher warns Heer that if found guilty, she could face blacklisting from all universities. Despite her protests of innocence, Heer struggles to convince the teachers of her integrity.
Arjun, witnessing the unfolding drama, assures Koyal that Heer is innocent and believes someone is scheming against her. The teacher continues to press Heer, suggesting that she might have leaked the paper for financial gain, which causes doubt among the other students.
The Dean learns from the professor that Heer was the last student present at the college before the incident, prompting him to temporarily suspend her. When Heer returns from the office, she notices the stares of her peers, feeling the weight of their judgment. Nawab, feeling sympathy for her plight, watches the scene unfold while the others seem pleased by her misfortune. Arjun, determined to defend Heer, attempts to stop her as she leaves, knowing she is innocent. Confused and upset, Heer begins to question who could have set her up.
In a moment of confrontation, Heer accuses Nawab of being involved in the scheme. She asserts that she would never betray her integrity in such a manner, while Nawab insists on his innocence. He pleads with her to trust him, but Heer, frustrated and hurt, calls him selfish and accuses him of ruining her dreams. She declares that she cannot trust him and rushes away, leaving Nawab distraught. He chases after her, desperate to explain.
As Heer runs, she collides with Arjun, who instinctively wraps his arms around her as she breaks down in tears. Overwhelmed with emotion, Heer cries on Arjun’s shoulder, and he comforts her, offering solace in her time of need. He then offers to take her home on his bike, while Heer reflects on how Nawab has crossed a line she cannot overlook.
**Precap:** Priti encourages Heer to reveal the truth to the college about the situation. Determined to clear her name, Heer resolves to confront Tina and share her side of the story.
