The episode is a mix of Nawab’s growing protective instincts and Gulaab Brar’s mounting fury over the embarrassment caused to her family name.
The Humiliation at Home
The episode starts with Gulaab Brar pacing the hall, waiting for Nawab and Heer to return from the college. She has already seen videos of Heer’s drunk father causing a scene and claiming a relationship with the Brar family. When they arrive, Gulaab erupts in anger. She insults Heer’s lineage, calling her family a “stain” on their reputation. She explicitly tells Heer that her dream of completing her education and becoming a dancer is over because she cannot trust her to stay out of the spotlight for the wrong reasons.
Nawab Exposes Tina
While Heer stands silently, absorbing the insults to protect her father, Nawab decides he has had enough of the lies. He interrupts his mother and reveals that the entire scene at the college was a setup. He produces evidence—a witness from the university—who confirms that Tina was the one who bought the alcohol for Heer’s father and tipped him off about the performance.
Nawab’s defense of Heer shocks everyone, especially Gulaab. For the first time, Nawab openly sides with his “contractual” wife against his mother’s favorite, Tina. Tina tries to play the victim, but Nawab warns her that if she ever targets Heer again, he will ensure she is expelled from the university.
Heer’s Breaking Point
Despite Nawab’s support, Heer is deeply hurt. She feels that her presence is causing nothing but trouble for Nawab. Later that night, she goes to the outhouse to confront her father. In an emotional scene, she tells him that her mother’s soul would be ashamed of him. She decides to take a drastic step to ensure her sister Priti’s safety, realizing she can no longer depend on her father’s sobriety.
The Secret Agreement
Nawab finds Heer crying in the garden. Instead of his usual teasing, he offers her a genuine olive branch. He tells her that while their marriage started as a “majboori” (compulsion), he will not let her dreams die because of other people’s conspiracies. He promises to pay Priti’s school fees himself so that Heer doesn’t have to participate in dangerous or humiliating competitions for money. Heer is hesitant to take his help, but the episode ends with a lingering look between them, suggesting the start of a real emotional connection.
