The episode begins with an emotionally charged scene as Mukta breaks down in tears upon seeing the devastating news of Teju’s death on television. The weight of grief hangs heavily in the air, and Mukta’s family rushes to console her, their faces etched with sorrow. In the midst of the anguish, Satish coldly remarks that even in death, Teju has managed to ruin the family’s reputation. His words cut deep, reflecting the family’s obsession with societal perception rather than their own emotional turmoil. Omi, echoing Satish’s sentiments, adds that they might as well die, as they have no respect left to salvage. The atmosphere is thick with despair and resentment.
Satish’s anger spills over as he insults Mukta and her daughter, blaming them for the chaos that has unfolded. However, Lakshmi, Aditi, and Juhi refuse to remain silent. They stand up for Teju and Mukta, defending their integrity and the love they had for Teju. Lakshmi, with a mix of anger and compassion, urges Satish to at least show some humanity in this moment of tragedy. Omi retorts, telling Lakshmi to stop defending Teju and Mukta, expressing his regret for ever bringing them into the family. The tension escalates as Teju’s brother, Vedaan, insists that his sister could never do anything wrong, only to be harshly rebuked by Satish.
In a shocking turn of events, Mukta suddenly collapses, clutching her chest in distress. The family’s focus shifts from their bitter arguments to her alarming state. Satish, in his usual callous manner, accuses her of pretending to seek attention. In a moment of panic, Teju’s brother immediately calls Neil, desperate for help.
Dr. Surwa arrives to check on Mukta, delivering the grim news to Neil and the family that she has suffered a major heart stroke. Although she is out of immediate danger, she has slipped into a coma, leaving the family in a state of shock. Vedaan breaks down, hugging Neil tightly, his grief palpable as he mourns the loss of his sister and the current state of his mother. Lakshmi, feeling the weight of injustice, tells Neil that Teju did nothing wrong, yet her name continues to be tarnished even after her death. Neil, filled with regret, reassures Lakshmi that he knows Teju was innocent. However, when Lakshmi questions why he asked Teju to leave his life, the tension in the room thickens.
Vedaan, overwhelmed by emotion, runs off, seeking solace from the turmoil. Neil turns to Lakshmi, apologizing for his earlier decision, explaining that he only asked Teju to leave to protect her from his family’s toxic environment. He never imagined it would lead to such a tragic outcome. Determined to make things right, Neil vows to Vedaan that he will prove Teju’s innocence, igniting a spark of hope amidst the despair.
Meanwhile, Savi and her family are engulfed in their own mourning as they grapple with the death of Rajat. Savi reflects on her cherished moments with him, her heart heavy with loss. However, Bhagyashree, consumed by grief and anger, blames Savi for Rajat’s death, accusing her of making him move to Nagpur. She insists that Savi is solely responsible for the tragedy that has befallen their family. Nidhi and Tara’s husband attempt to calm the situation, but the tension remains high. In a fit of rage, Tara throws water on Savi, calling her Rajat’s killer. Ridhi and Tara’s husband defend Savi, arguing that she did nothing wrong.
Savi, overwhelmed by the accusations, breaks down, expressing her confusion over Rajat’s decision to go out at night and why he was with another woman. Bhagyashree slaps her, incredulous that Savi could question her own husband’s fidelity. Savi, standing her ground, asserts her trust in Rajat and vows to uncover the truth behind his death, determined to prove his innocence and expose the false affair rumors circulating on television. Bhagyashree, still furious, declares that nothing will bring her son back and vows never to forgive Savi. Ridhi steps in, taking Bhagyashree inside to cool down, while Savi collapses in tears, feeling utterly alone in her grief.
Later, Sai approaches Savi, noticing her tears and asking why she is crying. She innocently wonders why her dad isn’t answering his calls and if he went out to get her gifts. Savi, holding back her emotions, tells herself that she must stay strong for her children. In a moment of desperation, she prays to Bappa for strength, seeking solace in her faith. Savi then distracts herself by asking Sai what she wants to eat, trying to maintain a semblance of normalcy for her daughter. Sai cheerfully replies that she has already eaten and wants to do the “Gigi Dance” with her. Savi forces a smile, joining Sai in a dance, trying to mask her pain. Sai innocently suggests that they can do the same dance with Dad when he returns, prompting Savi to hug her tightly, feeling the weight of her responsibilities.
In a poignant moment, Savi and Neil decide to go to the river to immerse their partners’ ashes in the same place, symbolizing their shared grief. As they stand by the water, Savi promises Rajat that she will prove his innocence and catch his killer. Neil makes the same vow to Teju’s ashes, their hearts united in their determination to seek justice. They perform the ritual together, surrounded by family members who weep for their lost loved ones, the scene heavy with emotion and solidarity.
Back at home, Sai prays to her father’s photo, asking him to return soon, her innocence shining through her sorrow. Just then, Savi receives a gift that Rajat had ordered before his death, a bittersweet reminder of their love. Neil, too, receives a gift—a guitar from Teju, a symbol of their shared memories. As Savi discovers a yellow saree accompanied by a love note from Rajat, she breaks down in tears, the realization of his absence hitting her hard. Sai enters the room, asking to go find her dad, prompting Savi to hold back her tears. In a bid to cheer Sai up, she puts on Rajat’s coat, trying to project strength for her daughter’s sake.
At the hospital, Neil finds himself surrounded by relentless media reporters, all clamoring for information about his alleged affair with Rajat. Frustrated by their invasive questions, he attempts to walk away, but his temper flares as he hears their accusations. Dr. Surwa intervenes, stopping him from reacting further, sensing the emotional turmoil boiling beneath the surface.
In the precap, Savi stands her ground, firmly warning the inspector not to question her husband’s character. She insists that they investigate the girl involved, suggesting she might be responsible for the chaos that has ensued. Just then, Neil arrives, his voice steady and resolute as he tells the police not to tarnish his wife’s reputation, setting the stage for a confrontation that promises to unravel the truth behind the recent tragedies.
