The episode opens with Bhagyashree expressing her distress, reflecting on how Rajat would have provided comfort during her difficult time. She is in pain from a sprained ankle, and Savi attempts to help by applying a pain-relief spray, but Bhagyashree refuses, her emotions overwhelming her. In a moment of anger and grief, she blames Savi for Rajat’s tragic death, suggesting that the goons Savi had previously caught may have sought revenge on him. This accusation adds tension to their relationship, as Bhagyashree’s pain manifests into misplaced blame. Meanwhile, Kian, feeling the weight of the situation, begins to cry. Ridhi, recognizing the emotional turmoil, takes on the responsibility of caring for Kian while attending to Bhagyashree.
In another part of the house, Vinod expresses gratitude to Neil for his decision to stay, acknowledging the complexity of their situation. Neil, however, reveals that he has not forgiven anyone, and his choice to remain is solely due to Leena’s illness and her consistent displays of love. This highlights Neil’s internal struggle, caught between feelings of betrayal and loyalty. Jeetu, wanting to uplift Neil’s spirits, gifts him a Shiv-Parvati idol, which Neil accepts and takes upstairs, symbolizing hope amid the turmoil.
Back in the living area, Sai approaches Savi with concern for her well-being. Savi nods in response, but the tension in the air is palpable. Upon hearing Bhagyashree groan in pain, Savi quickly orders a heating pad to alleviate her discomfort. As she reflects on recent events, doubts begin to creep into her mind regarding Bhagyashree’s accusations—did exposing the human trafficking racket indeed lead to Rajat’s death?
Meanwhile, Srichand indulges in a pedicure when one of his men arrives with news of their successful money collection. The moment takes a turn when the pedicure attendant accidentally injures Srichand’s toe, prompting a stern reprimand. After this brief interruption, the man inquires about their next target, to which Srichand coldly replies that it is Savi. He instructs his associate to meet with Manjrekar to confirm whether Dr. Neil is still working for them, setting the stage for potential conflict.
As the day unfolds, Neil finds himself missing Teju. In a quiet moment, Savi discreetly hands the heating pad to Ridhi, asking her to keep its origin a secret from Bhagyashree. Ridhi, grateful for Savi’s thoughtfulness, agrees. Sai then takes Savi with her, leading to a conversation where Ridhi informs Bhagyashree about the heating pad. Concerned about the future, Bhagyashree wonders who will care for her once Ridhi leaves for America. Ridhi reassures her that Savi will take care of things, emphasizing that Bhagyashree fails to recognize Savi’s goodness and has never treated her like a daughter. In a moment of vulnerability, Ridhi reveals that it was Savi who purchased the heating pad before leaving the room.
Alone with Rajat’s photo, Bhagyashree expresses her fears about the future, acknowledging that if something were to happen to Savi, she would struggle to manage the children alone. This fear drives her to be strict with Savi, as she does not want her working in the police department.
Sai and Savi find themselves at a restaurant, where Sai reminisces about their father’s belief that making a wish upon a falling star would make it come true. She asks for Savi’s phone and calls Neil, encouraging him to make a wish during a meteor shower. Neil, spotting a falling star, feels a glimmer of hope. Sai hands the phone to Savi, who expresses her gratitude to Neil for saving Sai. Their conversation is interrupted by thunder, adding a layer of tension. Unbeknownst to them, Savi and Neil are in the same restaurant but remain unaware of each other’s presence. As they make their wishes—Neil for justice for Teju and Savi for Rajat—their hopes intertwine. Sai silently prays for someone to enter Savi’s life who will bring her joy, just as Pookie does for her.
Later, Sai gathers the family in the hall, and Srichand arrives unexpectedly. Savi questions his presence, and he explains that Sai invited him. In a surprising gesture, he returns the gold jewelry Savi had pawned to cover Ridhi’s admission fees. Initially resistant, Savi declines to take it back, but Srichand insists it is her sreedhan, which he cannot keep. Ridhi, feeling the weight of the moment, encourages Savi to accept it, revealing her decision to forgo her plans to study in the U.S. for a college in Mumbai. Savi argues passionately that Ridhi must pursue her dreams, emphasizing that she does not want her to sacrifice her future.
Bhagyashree intervenes, urging them to stop arguing. Savi expresses her commitment to fulfilling Rajat’s dream, insisting that it was important to her. Srichand supports Savi’s stance, telling Ridhi to agree, as Savi is resolute. In an emotional exchange, Savi comforts Ridhi, who expresses her desire to emulate Savi and promises to fulfill Rajat’s dream. They share a heartfelt hug, emphasizing their bond. Savi, still unwilling to accept the jewelry, insists that Srichand take it back, but he counters by affirming Savi’s strength. Bhagyashree then asks Ridhi about her departure date, to which Ridhi responds that she is leaving tomorrow.
Precap
The tension escalates dramatically as Savi is suddenly abducted by goons. One of the men threatens her, warning that if she does not take over the work Rajat used to do for them, they will kill Ridhi. The stakes are raised, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats, eager to see how Savi will navigate this perilous situation.
