Sameer confronts Rohan in the empty locker room. Instead of an apology, Rohan offers a cold smirk. He reminds Sameer that his father’s "donations" are the only reason Sameer’s late tuition fees haven't resulted in an expulsion. "In this world, Sameer, talent is the currency, but power is the bank. I’m just taking what’s owed for my silence."

Sameer stands at the edge of the college terrace, looking at the city lights. He isn't crying anymore. He realizes that to beat a fake friend, he has to stop playing by the rules of a real one. He deletes Rohan’s number and opens a hidden file on his phone labeled “Rohan’s Father – Tax Records.”

In the bustling, neon-lit corridors of a high-end college in Mumbai, and Rohan were inseparable. To the outside world, they were the "Brothers of Bombay"—sharing everything from bike keys to canteen tabs. But as S01E02 opens, the gloss begins to peel away.

The tension spikes when Sameer discovers his digital portfolio has been wiped from the college server. Panic sets in until he sees Rohan’s latest presentation. It isn't just similar; it’s a pixel-for-pixel copy of Sameer’s months of labor.
