The episode, titled “The Masked Truth,” focuses on Tina’s final act of revenge and Nawab’s surprising transition from a bully to a protector.
The Festival Sabotage
The episode begins on the final day of the Punjab Youth Festival. Heer is set to deliver a presentation for her scholarship project. However, Tina has swapped Heer’s digital files with a video montage of Heer and Nawab’s secret “village wedding” photos (taken by the photographer Gulab hired). Tina’s plan is to play the video on the giant auditorium screen to humiliate Heer and get her expelled for “moral misconduct” and lying about her marital status.
Nawab’s Heroic Hack
Just as the video is about to play, Nawab notices Tina’s triumphant smirk and suspects foul play. Having learned a bit about the technical setup from the AV crew earlier, he rushes to the control room. In a race against time, Nawab manages to pull the plug on the main projector just as the first frame of the wedding photo appears. To cover the “glitch,” Nawab jumps onto the stage and starts an impromptu Bhangra performance, distracting the Dean and the audience while Heer’s original files are restored.
The Heart-to-Heart in the Green Room
After the presentation, Heer confronts Nawab in the green room. She is furious, thinking he was the one who tried to show the photos. Nawab, for the first time, loses his temper—not out of ego, but out of hurt. He shows her the corrupted USB drive he snatched from the control room. He tells her, “I might be a ‘Jatt’ who doesn’t understand your ‘Juliet’ books, but I would never burn down the house we both live in.” The tension between them softens as Heer realizes Nawab has been protecting her secret all along.
Gulab’s Ultimate Betrayal
The episode ends back at the mansion. Gulab, seeing that Tina’s plan failed, decides to take matters into her own hands. She calls Heer’s father and tells him that Nawab is planning to divorce Heer and marry Tina. She invites him to the mansion, intending to create a scene that will force a permanent rift. The final shot shows Heer’s father standing at the gate of the Chauhan mansion with a shotgun, shouting Nawab’s name.

Precap for Tomorrow:
