The episode begins with Savi perplexed by the sound of Rajat’s message tone echoing in her mind. Meanwhile, inspectors board a bus and are taken aback by the sight of Teju and Rajat’s lifeless bodies. As Savi steps onto the bus, she inquires with Vakti about the presence of any identification near the deceased. Vakti responds that they are currently searching for evidence. Despite Vakti’s efforts to prevent Savi from viewing Rajat’s body, Savi pushes past her, driven by a desperate need to confirm what she fears. The sight of Rajat and Teju’s bodies devastates her.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Savi expresses a feeling of strangeness and urges Vakti to conduct a deeper investigation while attempting to call Rajat. As she dials his number, the phone rings ominously near Rajat’s body. It dawns on Savi that the body belongs to her husband, and she collapses in grief, calling out his name and pleading with him to awaken. Vakti, adhering to protocol, reminds her not to touch the body. In a heart-wrenching moment, Savi retorts, asserting that he is not just a body but her husband. Vakti pulls her away, and amidst her tears, Savi recounts that she had just spoken to Rajat before her shift. An inspector mentions a car nearby that appears to belong to Rajat, prompting Vakti to express confusion over Teju’s presence with him.
In a parallel scene at the hospital, Dr. Surwa encounters Neil, who is supposed to be undergoing physiotherapy but is instead engrossed in work. Surwa urges him to rest, but Neil insists he cannot until he finds Teju. Surwa cautions that Teju represents a complicated chapter in Neil’s life, to which Neil passionately responds that she is more than just a chapter; she taught him how to live. He vows to confess his love to her once he finds her and refuses to accept their separation. Surwa inquires if he has seen her, and Neil assures her that Teju will come that evening.
As Neil leaves the hospital, he is confronted with the shocking sight of Teju’s body, marked by a gunshot wound to her head, which shatters him completely. Surwa expresses concern to Jeetu about Neil’s health, insisting he should rest. However, Neil desperately tries to awaken Teju, insisting she is fine and pleading for her to come back to him. Jeetu attempts to console him, but Neil’s grief is palpable as he recalls the warnings he received about not being late. When the police arrive to take Teju’s body, Neil intervenes, performing a traditional gesture by filling her hair partition with sindoor, symbolizing their bond.
Savi arrives at the hospital, haunted by memories of Rajat’s last call. As the police transport Teju’s body to the morgue, Savi enters the room where Rajat lies. She laments the loss, questioning who will answer her questions now and pleading for him to open his eyes one last time. The staff eventually asks her to leave, and Vakti informs her that the deceased woman is Teju, the wife of Neil Pradhan, who is also in shock. Savi is left wondering why Rajat was with Teju that fateful night. Vakti offers to inform Bhagyashree, but Savi declines, wanting to handle the situation herself.
The following day, Savi returns home, enveloped in sorrow, and embraces Bhagyashree, who notices her distress. When Bhagyashree inquires about Savi’s job, Savi reassures her that she has not been fired but mentions Rajat’s name. Bhagyashree prepares to call him, only to realize that Nidhi is with the children and Rajat is not home. Savi takes Bhagyashree aside and delivers the devastating news that Rajat has passed away. Nidhi and Sai overhear, and their shock is palpable. Bhagyashree collapses in grief, while Sai struggles to understand why her father is gone and why her grandmother is crying. Savi comforts her, leading her inside. Meanwhile, Tara’s husband sees news of Rajat’s murder, and Bhagyashree breaks down further upon hearing the report.
In the Pradhan household, the family watches news coverage of the double murder. Alok questions Neil about Teju’s death, while Leena and Nandini criticize Teju even after her death, speculating about her actions with a businessman at night. Manjari admonishes them for speaking ill of the deceased, and Jeetu supports her stance. Neil, frustrated by the media’s portrayal of events, turns off the television. Leena continues her comments, provoking Neil to anger, leading him to break the TV in a fit of rage. The family attempts to calm him, but Neil vehemently defends Teju, expressing his anguish over her loss.
Bhushan questions Neil’s sanity, to which Neil responds with fury, insisting that the family is foolish for discussing Teju without understanding the truth. Leena accuses Teju of spending the night with Rithu Raj, prompting Neil to warn her to cease her remarks. He admits to having asked Teju to leave earlier due to his lack of trust in the family and his own inability to care for her properly. He reveals his desire to start anew with her, now overshadowed by her tragic death. Bhushan disparages Teju, but Neil vehemently defends her, asserting that Rithu Raj is responsible for framing her.
As tensions rise, Rithu Raj taunts Neil, questioning his loyalty to “that shameless Teju.” In a moment of confrontation, Neil pins Rithu Raj against the wall, but the family intervenes to separate them. Neil warns everyone against speaking negatively about Teju and storms out. Nandini remarks on Neil’s fierce defense of Teju, leaving the family in a state of confusion.
In the precap, Savi confronts the inspector, warning him not to question her husband’s character and urging an investigation into Teju, suggesting that she may bear some blame. Neil arrives just in time to defend his wife, insisting that no one should cast aspersions on her character.
