The episode opens in the bustling courtyard of Jaisalmer Royal College, where a tense confrontation is underway. The college principal, Mrs. Sharma, scolds a visibly agitated Yuvraj “Yuvi” Jindal for tearing down an official notice. The notice, which orders the closure of “My Mom’s Cafe,” is the source of the conflict. A determined student, Katha, who is responsible for the notice, firmly states that tearing it down won’t solve the issue.
Defying the principal, Yuvi watches as Katha defiantly puts the notice back on the board. In a fit of rage, he rips it down again, crumbling it in his fist and declaring that he will tear it down every time it’s put up. Unfazed, Katha retrieves another copy and pins it to the board, leading Yuvi to tear that one down as well. The students, including Yuvi’s friends Pari, Omi, and Rudra, watch the escalating drama with concern.
The conflict takes an emotional turn when Yuvi’s friends try to pull him away. He breaks down, shouting that the café is not just a business to him—it’s his mother’s legacy. “Vo meri Maa hai!” he cries, revealing the deep sentimental value behind his fight. He insists he will not abandon his mother’s memory by letting the café shut down.
Katha, overhearing his emotional plea but remaining resolute, devises a creative and symbolic plan. She returns with a small white picket fence and a row of potted cactus plants, which she sets up in front of the notice board, creating a prickly barrier. She then puts up a new notice, challenging Yuvi to get past the “thorn-filled” defense of “Naag Kani Bua Sa” (the cactus) to tear it down. As Yuvi prepares to destroy the fence, he is stopped by the arrival of the police, who were called by the principal. A police inspector steps out, his presence immediately escalating the situation from a college dispute to a legal matter.
The inspector, Sub-Inspector Soni, begins questioning the students. Rudra steps forward and, in a misleading statement, paints Katha as the one creating a ruckus and blames her for the entire situation. The officer then asks for Udayveer Jindal. Yuvi identifies himself and is informed that there are serious allegations of kidnapping against him.
The scene shifts to the Jindal mansion, where Pari calls Yuvi’s mother, Bhawna, to inform her about the chaos at college and Yuvi’s subsequent arrest. Bhawna is horrified, and the family matriarch expresses deep fear, worried about what will happen if her husband, Harsh’s “Babuji,” finds out. In stark contrast, another family member, Shikha, listens with a subtle, pleased smirk, hinting at a deeper family conspiracy.
The precap for the next episode shows the police preparing to seal the café, Yuvi being dragged away and thrown behind bars, where he vows revenge on “Gobar Devi” (his nickname for Katha), promising to ruin her life once he is out.
