Manik sees Nandini outside Fab5's practice room and asks her why she is there. Nandini runs away from there and Manik follows her. He asks her again why was she outside the practice room. Nandini tries avoiding the subject by replying that she can do whatever she wants in the college. Manik asks her was she spying on them. Nandini becomes super defensive at that accusation. Manik senses that something is off and threatens to smudge her with mud if she doesn't tell the truth. Nandini warns him not to do it but Manik takes some mud from the flower pot and throws it on her. Nandini is shocked and she retaliates by doing the same to him.
The two get into a mud fight and get all close to each other while fighting, the song Nazar Laye Na plays in the BG. While fighting, Nandini slips but Manik catches her and gets all lost in her. He leans down to kiss her but before he can, Nandini blurts out the truth that Harshad had sent her there to spy of them. When she says that Harshad is following Cabir, Manik snaps out of his trance and gets worried. He goes away from there, leaving behind a confused Nandini.
Navya follows Mukti to the washroom and makes small talk to her regarding their performance. Mukti realizes that Navya is there on Harshad's orders and taunts Navya that Harshad is using cheap tactics to get to Fab5. Navya defends Harshad but Mukti shuts her up by saying that Navya is dreaming if she thinks Harshad loves her. He's just messing around with her. She mockingly points at Navya's reflection and says Harshad will never love a girl like Navya. Navya is stunned. Mukti sees it and tells her calmly that she should thank her lucky stars that Harshad doesn't love her. Because the ones Harshad loves, they never leave in peace.
Cabir goes home and his mother is surprised to see him there. They have some light moments as Cabir gets ready for a party. His mother leaves to get him something to eat and Cabir gets a call and he happily talks to the other person on the phone who asks him if he's ready for the big night tonight. The guy is revealed to be a twin of Cabir, named Ranbir. Cabir asks regarding Ranbir's whereabouts and Ranbir replies that he was camping near China border, just another perk of having a high ranking military father. Before they can talk further, Cabir senses his mother coming and finishes the call, while Ranbir has a sad look on his face.
Cabir's mother asks him who he was talking to, if he's gotten a girlfriend or anything but Cabir avoids the topic.
Nandini is restless and she decides to call Manik, much against her logic and asks him if he found Cabir and if she can help him with anything. Manik asks her to stop Harshad which confuses Nandini. She offers to call Harshad and ask where he is, that way they'll know where Cabir is. Manik chides him for thinking that everyone only speaks the truth like her and says he can track Cabir via GPS. Nandini curses herself for calling Manik and finishes the call. Manik breathes a sigh of relief that Nandini has started to get alert regarding Harshad's actions.
Harshad sees Cabir waiting for someone at a restaurant. Before he can go in, Manik comes there and gets in a fight with Harshad for spying on his friends. Raghav comes there and sees the fight but before he can see who's fighting, Cabir pulls him aside. Raghav gets happy seeing Cabir there and they kiss. The fight keeps going on.
Cabir happily wishes Raghav a happy birthday and says he wanted to make the night special for him. Raghav calls Cabir with endearing terms and assures him that they'll have a wonderful time. But it was reckless of Cabir to call him out here. He turns to leave but Cabir stops him by kissing him on the cheek, something which Manik witnesses. Manik gets shocked.
Raghav notices that it's Manik and Harshad fighting and he gets worried. He asks Cabir to leave the place with him but Cabir chooses to go for Manik's aid, much to Raghav's displeasure. He leaves from there and Cabir stops the fight by warning Harshad regarding police action against fighting in public place. Manik drags Cabir away from there.
Manik is angry and Cabir tries to calm him down. Manik says he didn't want Harshad to know Cabir's secret before Fab5. Cabir tries joking that there's no secret, his girlfriend is just not ready to face Fab5 yet because of their reputation. But Manik cuts across him by shouting that he saw Cabir kissing a guy. Cabir is shocked.
Manik asks Cabir why did he keep this a secret? Why didn't he come up to them and say it? They are his friends, they are Fab5. They would've accepted any person that he loves. So why didn't he? Cabir says that he was scared. Scared of his own feelings. Scared of being so different and abnormal. Manik says that no one in the world is normal, Fab5 aren't normal. But they accept it and that makes them unique. What makes Cabir so scared of it that he wouldn't confine with his family like friends? Cabir says that he's been struggling with his feelings for so long. He thought they were temporary and would pass away but as time passed, his feelings only grew. He felt ashamed, disgusted, for being so different. He feared being ridiculed by the society. The pressure was too much for him. How could he have told his friends? He couldn't even confess to himself in the mirror about his reality.
Manik gently holds his shoulders and says that he's Cabir's mirror now. Cabir can say anything to him, he can finally let himself free by saying the truth. So Cabir should say it. Cabir takes a deep breath, looks and Manik and says, "I'm gay."
Precap - Cabir asking his mother will she love him regardless of what he is? Alya calls Dhruv and tells him to confess his love to Nandini. She says to herself that this is the only way she can get Manik back.
