The episode opens with Neil entering Nitin’s office, balancing a tray of food in his hands. Keshav, noticing Neil’s approach, attempts to intercept him, but Neil brushes past him, determined to deliver the food. Upon entering the office, Neil is met with Nitin’s curious gaze. Nitin inquires about the unusual gesture, questioning why Neil has brought food to what he perceives as a workplace rather than a café. Neil, unfazed, retorts that the atmosphere in the office feels more like a café since little actual work seems to be taking place. In response to this playful banter, Nitin instructs Keshav to ensure that no one else enters the office, to which Keshav nods in agreement before stepping out.
As the conversation unfolds, Neil expresses his frustration with the investigation’s sluggish pace. He asserts that he has uncovered more clues regarding the case than the official team has managed to find. Neil emphasizes that if the investigation continues at its current speed, it will inevitably stagnate, leading to an unresolved conclusion. This prompts Nitin to reflect on a piece of advice he received from Srichand, which suggested that he should enlist someone who Savi would not suspect to keep a close watch on her actions. Nitin acknowledges Neil’s findings and suggests that he should officially join the police investigation. However, Neil hesitates, reminding Nitin of his previous rejection of Savi’s offer to assist.
At this moment, Savi arrives at the office, intent on seeking information about her husband’s case. She approaches the door, but Keshav blocks her entry, reminding her that she is no longer a police officer and must wait her turn. Savi protests, insisting on her right to know the details surrounding her husband’s situation.
Neil, sensing the tension, presses Nitin to reveal the underlying reason for wanting him involved in the case. Nitin, recognizing Neil’s potential, confesses that he wants Neil to collaborate with Savi to monitor her closely. He articulates his concern that Savi is more focused on exonerating her husband than on uncovering the truth behind the case. Nitin fears that her emotional involvement could lead her to tamper with evidence or frame his deceased wife. After considering Nitin’s perspective, Neil agrees to take on the role.
Just then, Savi bursts into the office, demanding answers from Nitin. He remains firm, instructing her to wait for her turn, which only fuels her anger. Frustrated, Savi storms out of the office, prompting Nitin to follow her in an attempt to talk things over. However, Savi insists that Neil should leave, and he complies, contemplating how to make Savi an offer that she cannot refuse.
Later, Savi returns to Nitin’s office, her determination unwavering as she questions him again. Nitin responds with a defensive attitude, leading to a heated argument filled with critical remarks. Savi, resolute in her quest for justice, declares her intention to uncover the truth behind her husband’s murder before exiting the office once more.
Meanwhile, the family gathers to bid farewell to Ridhi, who is preparing to leave for the airport. Before departing, Ridhi makes a heartfelt request to Tara and Bhagyashree, asking them not to cause any trouble for Savi during this difficult time.
In her quest for answers, Savi decides to meet with Srichand to discuss an important matter. She presents him with a photograph of Teju, seeking to determine if he recognizes her. Srichand feigns ignorance, asking who Teju is. Savi informs him that Teju was a recipient of a scholarship from the Goyal Foundation, prompting Srichand to acknowledge that they sponsor numerous individuals and that he cannot recall every name. However, Savi presses on, revealing that people at the college have claimed Srichand recommended Teju for the scholarship.
Upon examining the photograph again, Srichand recalls that Teju had been in a financial bind and that a man attempted to steal her mangalsutra. He explains that he intervened by offering her a scholarship and assured the man that he would repay the money if Teju failed to do so within six months. Srichand further explains that Teju came to see him the following day, and he arranged for her to become an assistant music professor at the college.
Savi then inquires about a student exchange program in Dubai that Teju participated in. Srichand, choosing to withhold information about this program, states that he does not pay much attention to such matters. Savi then reveals the devastating news that Teju has passed away alongside Rajat, to which Srichand feigns surprise. She presses him for details about the connection between Teju and Rajat, but Srichand claims ignorance. Overcome with emotion, Savi expresses her frustration about not knowing how to uncover the truth. Srichand advises her to focus on resolving her suspension and cautions her against becoming too emotionally involved. Savi responds with determination, vowing to care for her family and ensure that Rajat receives justice by punishing the true murderer before leaving his office.
After Savi departs, Srichand contacts one of his associates, informing him that Savi has left. Meanwhile, Savi feels increasingly stuck in her pursuit of solid leads. Suddenly, her phone rings, and a mysterious man claims he has information regarding the connection between Rajat and Ridhi. He instructs her to meet him at the lakeside, and without hesitation, Savi rushes to the location. Srichand, observing her departure, smirks to himself, believing that Savi is heading into a precarious situation.
At the lakeside, Savi arrives and calls out for the person who summoned her. Just then, a group of goons appears, ambushing her and dragging her away despite her struggles. In the chaos, her payal falls to the ground, a symbol of her distress. They transport her to a hidden location, where Savi is taken aback to discover Ridhi being held captive, intensifying the stakes of her predicament.
**Precap:** In a tense moment, Srichand’s associate reveals that Rajat died before he could deliver a ruby necklace worth 100 crores. He demands that Savi retrieve the necklace for him, setting the stage for a high-stakes confrontation.
