The episode starts with Hope coming out of her fully prepared room, checks her makeup briefly, and then finds the driver waiting outside for her. She rushes down because she is getting late and sits in the car, saying, "I am getting late." The driver reassures her, "We will be there in time," and starts the car. Meanwhile, at the college, she arrives, and every student looks at the car and exclaims, "The Principal is here." She steps out of the car, wearing a white shirt, white tight pants, black heels, and a ponytail hairstyle. Every girl gets jealous of her and remarks, "She is so hot, isn't she?" The boys chime in, saying, "She is hot, but she's the Principal," and then, in Class B-37, the guys Sumeet, Kabir, Arnav, and Aanchal are sitting and chatting while Sanjay enters the room.

Kabir jokingly remarks, "Look, an elephant ran away from the zoo," which makes everyone laugh, and Sanjay hears it. He confronts them, saying, "Yes, it's me. Do you have any problem?" Kabir replies, "No, brother, why would we have any problem with you?" Sanjay tries to intimidate them by saying, "It's good that there's no problem, or else I would have fixed you." Sumeet teases, "Why, are you a doctor?" Sanjay retorts, "Yes, a doctor for animals, and I can handle creatures like you with ease." Arnav, getting a bit angry, stands up and challenges Sanjay, "Alright, what can you do?" Everyone intervenes and holds him back, and Aanchal tells Sanjay to take his seat. Sanjay makes a condescending remark, "Understand, dear girl, you are smart," and ends up sitting alone on two chairs of the single bench. The four friends smile at the sight.

Later, Karan arrives at the college with a cool personality, and at the same time, Sumer also comes to college. They both reach the classroom door together. One door is locked, and the other is open, allowing only one person to enter at a time. They exchange intense looks at each other, and everyone in the class notices, with background music adding to the tension. Aanchal rushes to the door and opens one side, saying, "Now, don't fight," and the boys enter the class at the same time. Karan places his bag in the middle of the left line, while Sumer places his on the right line of the middle. Sumeet and Kabir tease, "Thank you, Aanchal, for opening the door on time; otherwise, there would have been another war." Aanchal replies, "This is just the beginning; who knows what you both will do later." Kiara and Asma come into the class together, greet everyone, and sit on their seats together. Sumer looks at Kiara while she does the same, then he looks back at Karan, who is also looking at him. Both boys enter the class, and Karan places his bag in the middle, as Sumer does on the right side. Sumeet and Kabir tease them by blowing air and saying, "See, now there's a war between you two."

Later, Shah Rukh Alam, the Physics teacher, comes to the class with a smiling face, and every student comes to class after the bell rings. They all greet him, and he reciprocates with a smile. Sumeet starts praising him, "Sir, you look amazing today," and Kabir adds, "No, sir, you always look great." Aanchal compliments him, saying, "Sir, you are looking cute." Shah Rukh Alam blushes and modestly responds, "Oh, kids, that's enough. Stop now," with a smile. Arnav playfully asks, "Sir, what's the secret of your beauty?" Shah Rukh smiles and replies, "It was like this in my childhood," and then he reminisces about his younger days, sharing anecdotes of his popularity among the class and his handsome looks. Everyone listens to him, smiles, but realizes it's a waste of time.

Meanwhile, in the office, Ma'am Hope is sitting, and the peon informs her, "Madam, the student on leave has arrived." She acknowledges and goes outside. In B-37, everyone stands up and greets her. Shah Rukh Alam says, "How are you, Mam?" She responds, "I am fine, sir. How are you?" He says, "I am good too," and they smile at each other. Hope addresses the students, introducing a new classmate, Hoor Arham. Everyone welcomes Hoor, and she meets everyone. Karan, however, doesn't approach her like the others do. Instead, Sumer and Sanjay meet her, and Karan's reluctance is noticed. Hope instructs Hoor to take an available seat, and she sits next to another girl.

Hope advises the students to treat Hoor well and focus on their studies. Shah Rukh Alam offers to escort Hope to her office, but she declines, preferring to go by herself. The students smile, knowing that they were just an excuse for her to decline his offer. Hope leaves the classroom, and the lecture continues. Shah Rukh Alam takes the opportunity to discuss the syllabus with Sahil Anand, the Maths professor, and they both agree to talk separately with her. Sahil makes Shah Rukh upset, and the latter leaves the office, annoyed.

Back in the staffroom, Bokhari is sitting, and Shah Rukh joins him, expressing his annoyance with Sahil. Bokhari listens, and Shah Rukh says, "I will not spare him now." Meanwhile, Sumeet, Kabir, and Aanchal are in the canteen. Kabir is worried about Sanjay, and Aanchal questions why they are bothering about others. Sumeet shares rumors about Sanjay, saying he broke someone's bicycle. Aanchal suggests not getting involved in someone else's business. At the same time, Karan is called to the principal's office, where Hope appreciates his academic and co-curricular achievements but warns him about his frequent fights with Sumer. Karan acknowledges the warning and leaves.

At home, Aanchal's father complains about her being late again, and she explains that she was with her friends. He reminds her of her status as Raichand's daughter and advises her to be mindful of her company. Aanchal retorts that she doesn't judge people based on their status, and her father comments on her resemblance to her mother. Later, Karan reaches his flat, which has one room and one washroom. He receives food from his neighbor Melike, and they exchange playful banter.
