Tara opens the door to find Ridhi unexpectedly returning home with Savi, leaving the entire family stunned. Bhagyashree rushes to Ridhi, overwhelmed with emotion, and questions why Ridhi never contacted them after going to the USA—she even reveals she had plans to travel there to find her. Ridhi, surprised, reveals she was kidnapped, shocking both Bhagyashree and Tara. She confronts Savi for not informing the family about the abduction. Savi quietly says she didn’t want to worry anyone, prompting a furious Bhagyashree to slap her. Tara scolds Savi for hiding the truth, and Savi defends herself, saying it could’ve endangered everyone’s lives.
Aniket asks how the events unfolded. Savi explains Ridhi was kidnapped en route to the airport, and she traced clues from a video to rescue her. Bhagyashree blames Savi for hiding everything and accuses Srichand of covering for her by pretending Ridhi was in the USA.
Later, Savi reflects on the rescue, feeling disheartened by the family’s blame. Sai praises her mother and mentions Neil’s help. When Sai tries to contact him, Savi unblocks Neil’s number and calls. Neil answers cheerfully, and Sai thanks him with a handmade card, calling him their “Oasis.” On a video call, Sai shows Neil the card and kisses him, while Jeetu silently observes.
Elsewhere, Leena questions Neil’s deep involvement with Savi’s family. Jeetu and Bhushan agree Neil needs to be pulled back, but Vinod warns against antagonizing him, fearing Neil may cut ties with them.
Srichand apologizes to Bhagyashree, saying he wouldn’t have supported the lie had he known about the kidnapping. When asked, Ridhi lies about remembering her captors but recalls Maruti’s kindness.
Aniket defends Savi, urging the family to be thankful. Srichand announces a Ganapati pooja and plans to invite Neil and his family. Sai proudly tells everyone Neil helped her mother rescue Ridhi and shares a photo of him participating in a school race with Savi.
Tara sharply questions Savi if she intends to replace Rajat with Neil. Srichand senses a new twist and mentions that ACP Manjekar is unaware. As Savi tries to clarify, Tara accuses her of lying. Sai defends her mother, revealing she was the one who called Neil. Bhagyashree confronts Savi for taking her to Neil, and Savi explains she didn’t know he was the doctor until they reached the cabin, and only later realized he was Sai’s “Pookie uncle.” Despite the backlash, Savi firmly states Neil helped save Ridhi, and that’s what truly matters.
