The episode opens with Tara dramatically opening the door, revealing a shocking sight that leaves the family members in disbelief. Ridhi has returned home, accompanied by Savi, and the atmosphere is charged with emotion. Bhagyashree rushes forward, enveloping Ridhi in a warm embrace, her voice trembling with concern as she asks what has happened to her. She expresses her feelings of abandonment, questioning why Ridhi seemed to forget about her after moving to the USA, even revealing that she had been planning to travel there herself in search of Ridhi.
Ridhi, taken aback by their reaction, asks if they were unaware of her kidnapping. This revelation leaves both Bhagyashree and Tara in shock as they demand to know what she means by kidnapping. Ridhi explains that she had indeed been abducted, turning to Savi with a mix of anger and confusion, questioning why Savi hadn’t informed anyone about the dire situation. She emphasizes the gravity of her ordeal, stating that had something happened to her, no one would have been the wiser.
In a fit of rage, Bhagyashree slaps Savi, unable to comprehend how she could keep such a serious matter hidden. Savi, maintaining her composure, quietly responds that her intention was to avoid causing unnecessary worry for the family. Tara, however, scolds Savi for her actions, insisting that had they known the truth sooner, they might have been able to help find Ridhi more quickly. Savi counters, arguing that revealing the situation could have put everyone’s lives at risk.
Aniket, seeking clarity, asks how the entire ordeal unfolded. Savi recounts the harrowing details of how Ridhi was kidnapped on her way to the airport and explains how she pieced together clues from a video sent earlier that day, which ultimately led to Ridhi’s rescue. Bhagyashree interjects, suggesting that had they involved Srichand from the beginning, he might have been able to assist them in the search. She holds Savi responsible for keeping the family in the dark and accuses Srichand of complicity by pretending that Ridhi was safe and sound in the USA.
As the tension simmers, Savi reflects on the bravery it took to rescue Ridhi, yet she feels the weight of the family’s blame resting on her shoulders. Sai, recognizing Savi’s courage, offers her admiration. Savi mentions that “your Pookie uncle” also played a crucial role in the rescue operation. Sai expresses her desire to speak with him, but discovers that his number isn’t working. In a quick move, Savi takes Sai’s phone, unblocks Neil’s number, and encourages her to call him.
When Sai dials Neil, he answers with enthusiasm, and she explains that the call didn’t connect earlier, but now it does because her mother dialed. Neil chuckles, calling Savi a magician. Sai expresses her gratitude for Neil’s help in rescuing Ridhi and mentions that she plans to make thank-you cards, handing the phone back to Savi.
Savi greets Neil, who responds that he is doing well and assumes the family must be praising her for her heroic actions. Emotion wells up in Savi, but she masks her feelings, assuring Neil that everything is fine. Sai returns with a handmade card and suggests they do a video call so she can show it to “Pookie uncle.”
Neil eagerly agrees to the video call. As Sai presents the card, she explains that she learned the meaning of “Oasis” from Neil — something good that appears during difficult times — and declares that he is their oasis. Savi nods in agreement, a faint smile gracing her lips. Sai asks Neil when he will come to collect the card, to which Neil responds, “Soon.” In a sweet moment, Sai kisses him through the screen, and Neil reciprocates with playful flying kisses, while Jeetu observes silently.
Meanwhile, Leena expresses her confusion to Vinod about why Neil is putting himself in danger for Savi and her family. She questions the nature of their relationship. Jeetu adds that Neil shares a strong bond with Savi’s daughter, cautioning that he had warned Yash and Manjari against letting Neil get too close to Savi, but they didn’t heed his advice. Bhushan suggests that Neil needs to be confronted, but Vinod proposes a more diplomatic approach, urging Leena to refrain from speaking ill of Savi, warning that it might jeopardize their relationship with Neil.
In another part of the house, Srichand tells Bhagyashree that had he known about Ridhi’s kidnapping, he would never have supported Savi’s deception. Bhagyashree expresses her disappointment in him. Srichand apologizes sincerely and asks Ridhi if she remembers anything about her captors. Ridhi recalls how Maruti treated her kindly but chooses to lie, claiming she can’t remember anything.
Aniket steps in, asserting that since Savi and Neil risked their lives to save Ridhi, the family should stop blaming Savi and instead express gratitude. Srichand announces that he has organized a Ganapati pooja and suggests inviting Neil and his family to join.
Sai excitedly shares with everyone that her Pookie uncle saved her from danger, asking Savi for a photo of them with Neil. Savi hands over her phone, and Sai shows the picture to the family, explaining how Neil participated in the parents’ race with Savi, helping her secure victory.
However, Tara sharply questions Savi, wondering if she intends to replace Rajat with Neil in her life. Srichand, intrigued by this new twist, notes that ACP Manjekar remains unaware of these developments. Savi tries to clarify, but Tara accuses her of dishonesty. Sai leaps to her mother’s defense, asserting that it was she who called Neil.
Bhagyashree confronts Savi, accusing her of hiding the truth and questioning why she took Ridhi to Neil. Savi responds that she had no idea Neil was the doctor until they arrived at the cabin, explaining that she learned he was Sai’s “Pookie uncle” at school. Tara continues to criticize Savi, but Savi insists that despite their opinions, Neil was instrumental in rescuing Ridhi.
In the precap, a shocking video surfaces during the Ganapati pooja, showing Savi and Neil sharing a kiss in Switzerland. The revelation sends shockwaves through both families, prompting a furious Bhagyashree, Tara, and Leena to confront Savi. Bhagyashree declares that Sai and Kian will now stay with her, pulling them away from Savi. Desperate, Savi pleads with her not to separate her from her children, while Leena taunts her, questioning if she is trying to make Neil the father of her kids.
