The episode opens one month later, with a sense of hope and renewal as Dr. Surwa carefully removes the plaster from Neil’s leg. As the plaster falls away, Neil’s mind drifts back to a poignant moment: Teju’s heartfelt love confession. This memory brings both warmth and sorrow, reminding him of the bond they share. The Pradhan family surrounds Neil, their faces glowing with happiness at his recovery. Leena steps forward, holding a bouquet of flowers she brought from the temple for Aparajita, and as Neil sees the flowers, he is once again reminded of Teju, deepening his resolve to bring her back.
Dr. Surwa encourages Neil to try walking, and with Teju’s inspiring words echoing in his mind, he pushes himself to stand. He takes a few tentative steps but stumbles, eliciting gasps from his family. However, their support lifts his spirits, and Dr. Surwa reassures him that he is doing well. When they suggest he rest, Neil firmly insists that he needs to go out. Leena protests, citing his fragile condition, but Neil, filled with determination, declares that he will not heed anyone’s warnings.
He makes his way to the home mandir, where he kneels in prayer, his heart set on bringing Teju back with honor and proving her innocence. In a moment of profound commitment, he takes a sindoor box, vowing to return with Teju as his wife, symbolizing his unyielding love and dedication.
As Neil prepares to leave, Jeetu steps in, offering to accompany him. Outside, Jeetu, aware of Neil’s intentions to visit Teju’s house, insists on driving him there despite Neil’s reluctance. Their friendship shines through as Jeetu shows unwavering support for Neil’s mission.
Arriving at Omi’s house, they learn from a neighbor that the family is out and will not return until later that night. Jeetu suggests they call Teju’s family, but Neil shakes his head, saying he cannot speak to them until he clears Teju’s name. As Neil winces in pain, Jeetu decides it’s best to take him to the hospital, prioritizing his friend’s health.
On their way, their car unexpectedly hits a disguised woman, who turns out to be Savi dressed as an old lady. Initially thinking she’s hurt, they offer assistance, but she adamantly refuses and walks away, leaving Jeetu to comment on her surprising fitness for someone in disguise.
Meanwhile, Savi, still in her disguise, is on a mission to find her “missing granddaughter.” She arrives at the kidnappers’ hideout, where a subordinate inquires if they can proceed with their plans. Savi, however, knows it’s not the right time yet. Suddenly, she is ambushed by goons but fights back fiercely, revealing her true identity as ACP Savi. She swiftly calls in her team and interrogates one of the goons about the kidnapped children. After a brief struggle, she uncovers a hidden wall, breaking through to find the children locked inside. With determination, she rescues the kids and arrests the goons, showcasing her bravery and skill.
Later, DCP Manjrekar arrives at the scene, taking credit for the operation in front of the media. He patronizes Savi, suggesting she is learning from him. Vakti, a colleague, observes this and notes how Manjrekar always seems to overshadow Savi’s accomplishments. Savi, maintaining her composure, insists that her primary goal is public safety. A little girl approaches her, expressing her desire to become a police officer like Savi. Encouraged by Savi, she shares that her father, Virat, inspired her, emphasizing that hard work can make anything possible.
Back at home, Bhagyashree expresses her frustration about Savi’s absence, wondering when she will return. Ridhi interjects, mentioning that Kian has woken up. Bhagyashree chastises Savi for leaving a young child at home while she is out working. Her daughter defends Savi, reminding her that Savi holds an esteemed position as ACP of Nagpur. Bhagyashree scoffs at the idea, lamenting that Savi left her IAS post in Mumbai for a police job, a profession she openly disdains. Just then, young Sai emerges dressed as a police officer, declaring her own aspirations to join the force. Bhagyashree insists that Sai should dress as a businessman for the upcoming fancy dress competition instead.
Savi supports Sai’s choice, encouraging her to pursue her dreams, but Bhagyashree redirects the conversation, instructing Savi to prepare the Bhogh for Akshaya Tritiya. She berates Savi for being late, reminding her of the sacrifices they made by leaving Mumbai for her sake.
Tara arrives dramatically, breaking a vase as she announces her entrance, proudly displaying a gold coin she purchased for the pooja. Her husband scolds her for the unnecessary theatrics, but Bhagyashree welcomes them warmly.
In the kitchen, Savi discovers that the house worker is unwell and sends her home. Rajat calls, advising Savi not to take Bhagyashree’s criticisms to heart. He promises to try to return home early. That night, Sai asks Savi to attend her fancy dress competition, but Bhagyashree insists that Rajat will come instead, implying that Savi may not be able to make it. Rajat calls Ridhi, who hands the phone to Bhagyashree. He gently urges her not to scold Savi, reminding her that it’s also their responsibility to care for the kids. He asks Ridhi to look after Kian that night, as Savi has night duty. Bhagyashree, still frustrated, comments on Savi’s choices before leaving.
Later, while on duty, Savi enjoys a cup of coffee with her colleagues, who remark on how lucky she is to have Rajat, who understands her completely. Savi agrees, noting that their relationship is built on mutual understanding. Suddenly, a walkie-talkie message interrupts their conversation, alerting them to a double murder in Shivaji Nagar—one victim is a 40-year-old male, and the other is a 25-year-old woman. Savi immediately prepares to leave for the crime scene.
At the scene, Savi texts Rajat to remind him to take care of the kids. However, she suddenly hears his message tone ringing out nearby, which confuses her. As her colleagues investigate further, they make a shocking discovery: Rajat’s lifeless body is found on a bus, leaving Savi in utter disbelief.
In the precap, Vakti tries to prevent Savi from approaching Rajat’s body, but she breaks down in anguish upon seeing him, overwhelmed with grief and shock.
