The episode opens with ACP Nithin Majnekar confronting Neil about the recent events surrounding Teju. Nithin reminds Neil that he had ousted Teju from their lives just a month prior, suggesting that during this tumultuous time, she may have crossed paths with Rajat, potentially leading to an affair between them. Neil, taken aback by this implication, is on the verge of defending his wife’s character when Lakshmi intervenes, advising him that this is not the appropriate moment for such discussions. As Neil prepares to leave, he asserts to Nithin that he is unaware of the methods being employed in the investigation, but he firmly believes in Teju’s integrity and vows to prove her innocence. Nithin, with a knowing smile, internally resolves to keep a close watch on Neil, sensing that there is more to uncover.
Meanwhile, Vakti provides comfort to Savi, showing her the evidence that was discovered near the deceased bodies. Upon examination, Savi recognizes the object as a guitar plectrum. Vakti confirms her observation but adds a crucial detail: neither Rajat nor Teju had a guitar in their possession at the time of the incident. Nithin observes this exchange through the surveillance footage, his interest piqued by the developments. Savi speculates that the plectrum could be linked to the murderer, which prompts Nithin to intervene. He takes possession of the evidence, sternly warning Savi to refrain from pursuing the case further. He threatens Vakti with termination if she disobeys his orders. Despite Savi’s insistence that they should work together to investigate, Nithin dismisses her proposal and walks away, leaving Savi determined to uncover the truth and clear Rajat’s name.
Outside, Savi catches sight of Neil and contemplates the troubling question of why her husband was with Teju on the night in question. Neil, lost in similar thoughts, quietly exits the scene, both of them grappling with their suspicions and emotions.
At Rajat’s residence, his business partner arrives amidst a swarm of media personnel, who are eager to speculate about Rajat’s demise and the alleged affair. The partner vehemently defends Rajat, urging the reporters to cease spreading false narratives. Inside the house, he offers solace to Bhagyashree, expressing his shock over the tragic news. He turns to Savi, whom he regards as a sister, and empathizes with her pain. However, the moment is interrupted by Tara, who accuses Savi of being responsible for Rajat’s death. The business partner questions Tara’s logic, asking how Savi could possibly be to blame. Bhagyashree chimes in, stating that their family had relocated because of Savi. The partner responds calmly, reminding them that the future is unpredictable and that blaming Savi is unwarranted. He reassures Savi that she can reach out to him whenever needed, affirming the bond between their families. He then places flowers around Rajat’s photograph, promising to take care of his family.
Sai, observing the scene, feels unsettled. She approaches the business partner with her own photograph, requesting that he place flowers on it as well. Savi gently intervenes, explaining to Sai that she has not yet revealed the full truth to her. Tara overhears this exchange and confronts Savi, criticizing her for withholding information from Sai. Tara’s husband steps in to calm her down, leading her away from the confrontation. Savi then takes Sai aside to discuss the situation more privately. The business partner advises Bhagyashree not to blame Savi before departing.
Later, Sai questions Savi about her earlier actions, demanding to know why she did not allow the business partner to honor her photo with flowers. She also inquires about her father’s whereabouts. In response, Savi points to a star shining in the night sky, telling Sai that Rajat has become a star, encouraging her to express her feelings to that star.
As Savi reflects on her memories of Rajat, Neil is depicted lost in thought, consumed by his concerns regarding Teju.
In a separate scene, Jeetu enters Neil’s room with food, attempting to console him. He encourages Neil to eat, emphasizing the importance of learning to live with pain rather than succumbing to despair. Neil expresses his belief that he cannot move forward without Teju, and Jeetu offers him comfort in this moment of vulnerability. Just then, Rithu Raj arrives, seeking to check on Neil. Neil’s irritation becomes apparent as Rithu Raj questions why he is being blamed when it was Teju’s actions that led to the current situation. Neil responds tersely, indicating that he is aware of who is truly at fault.
In the precap, Neil visits Lakshmi and discovers that Savi has come to speak with her regarding the ongoing investigation, hinting at further developments to come.
