The episode opens with Neil deep in investigation mode, meticulously examining the details surrounding Savi’s case. His brow furrows as he pieces together the timeline, suspecting that Teju must have died a month after leaving the house. This revelation raises a troubling question in his mind: What was the connection between Teju and Rajat? As he grapples with these thoughts, Jeetu arrives unexpectedly, carrying a bag of food. He casually asks Neil about his visit to the police station the previous night, which surprises Neil. “How did you know about that?” Neil questions, intrigued. Jeetu, with a hint of concern, admits that he was worried about Neil and had tracked his phone to find out where he was.
As Jeetu turns on the lights, he notices Neil’s focus on the case involving Rajat and Teju. He comments on the intensity of Neil’s work, sensing the weight of the investigation on his friend’s shoulders. Neil, however, brushes off the comment, his mind too occupied with the pressing questions about the case.
Meanwhile, the scene shifts to Savi, who is in a dire situation. The kidnappers have removed her blindfold, and she immediately demands to know who they are and why they’ve taken her. Her eyes dart around the dimly lit room, and to her horror, she sees that Ridhi is also held captive nearby. Desperate to reach her friend, Savi tries to move closer, but the main goon blocks her path, pointing a gun at her to keep her in check.
Savi, refusing to be intimidated, presses the goon for answers about their intentions. The main goon, with a mocking tone, ridicules her for asking too many questions. He reveals that Rajat was supposed to deliver an antique necklace worth ₹100 crores, but with his untimely death, the plan fell through. He orders one of his henchmen to show Savi the necklace, making it clear that she must retrieve it for him in exchange for Ridhi’s safety. Savi, feigning ignorance, insists she knows nothing about the necklace, but the goon continues to taunt her, suggesting that Rajat may have been involved in something illicit. Angered by his insinuations, Savi retorts fiercely, but the goon remains undeterred, reiterating his demand for the necklace and giving her a strict deadline of 48 hours. He warns her not to involve the police, threatening that she will receive Ridhi’s dead body if she fails to comply, demonstrating his knowledge of their family’s dynamics.
Back at home, Leena sits at the dining table, determined not to eat until Neil joins her. When Neil finally arrives, the family collectively pleads with him to eat something. Initially resistant, Neil’s resolve weakens when Nandini reminds him that Leena won’t touch her food unless he does. Reluctantly, he agrees but eats furiously, his frustration evident. Nandini watches him with concern, questioning why he is behaving like a ‘rakshas’ (demon). Vinod, observing Neil’s aggressive eating, realizes that he is venting his pent-up frustration. He warns Neil that he is pushing himself too far and needs to take care of his health. Neil, however, is unwavering, declaring that he won’t find peace until justice is served for Teju. In a fit of anger, he storms off, accidentally breaking a vessel in the process. Leena looks on, worried that Neil’s obsession with Teju is leading him down a destructive path.
Meanwhile, Savi wakes up on the roadside, her mind racing with thoughts of Ridhi’s danger. She spots a photo of the antique necklace that the kidnappers mentioned and feels a surge of determination. Using the opportunity, she manages to untie her hands, her resolve strengthening as she plots her next move.
Back at home, Bhagyashree grows increasingly anxious as Ridhi isn’t answering her calls. Tara, sensing her worry, suggests that Savi might have information about Ridhi’s whereabouts. In a moment of desperation, Bhagyashree calls Savi, expressing concern that Ridhi’s phone is off and she hasn’t yet arrived in Dubai. Savi, trying to maintain her composure, lies and tells Bhagyashree that Ridhi is fine and had spoken to her earlier. However, when Bhagyashree insists on speaking directly to Ridhi, Savi’s façade begins to crumble, leaving her in tears as she wonders how she can save her friend.
In a desperate attempt to seek help, Savi calls Bhakti, who is currently in a meeting with Manjrekar. Stepping outside, Bhakti answers the call, and Savi pleads for assistance. Moved by her sister’s plight, Bhakti agrees to help. However, Manjrekar, overhearing the conversation, instructs Keshav to ensure that Bhakti does not assist Savi. Undeterred, Bhakti sneaks away to help Savi access the record room, knowing it could hold crucial information. Meanwhile, Keshav begins to notice Bhakti’s absence and discovers that the record room has been accessed, raising his suspicions.
As Savi frantically searches through the files, Keshav enters the room, setting the stage for a potential confrontation.
In the precap, Savi is seen hurriedly packing her bag, preparing to leave without revealing her intentions. Neil, noticing her urgency, questions her about where she’s going and urges her to team up with him to solve the case. Savi, however, resolutely refuses and walks away, prompting Neil to decide to follow her, determined to uncover the truth and protect those he cares about.
