The episode begins with Mitali thanking Savi for making arrangements in the bedroom to make Neil believe that she and the children do not live there. Savi is holding a baby. Mitali expresses her gratitude, saying that what Savi is doing for her brother is more than any family member would. Savi replies that what Neil did for her and her children is invaluable. Mitali advises Savi to get some rest after a long day and leaves. Savi then gently places the baby in the crib and looks at the bed with a troubled expression, contemplating how she will share it with Neil. To create a separation, she arranges a line of pillows down the middle of the bed.
Just then, Neil enters the room, looking pleased. He comments that the room finally looks full and appreciates Savi for moving their things in. However, he is puzzled by the wall of pillows on the bed and asks Savi if she is trying to keep a distance from him. Startled, Savi lies, claiming that their daughter, Saee, cannot sleep without the pillows. Neil, whose memory is fragmented, finds this strange, saying he doesn’t recall this habit. He then gets closer, remarking that everything feels new, almost like it’s their wedding night, and attempts a romantic gesture. The moment is interrupted by the baby crying. Savi rushes to the crib, but Neil stops her, confidently stating that as the father, he can soothe his child. He picks up the baby, and miraculously, the child calms down and falls asleep in his arms. Neil looks proudly at Savi, who watches with a mix of relief and anxiety. Neil then leans in and kisses a startled Savi on the forehead, asking if this is how they usually say goodnight. Flustered, Savi quickly lies down. Neil, still feeling restless, lies down as well, while Savi turns away, deeply conflicted.
The next morning, the entire family is gathered at the breakfast table. They ask Neil how he’s feeling, and he says he is much better now that he is home. His mother, Isha, serves him his favourite breakfast. When Isha mentions it has been a long time since they all ate together, Neil gets confused, stating he was only in the hospital for a day. The family exchanges worried glances. Ishan quickly covers for his mother, explaining that for a mother, even a single moment of her child’s suffering feels like an eternity. Meanwhile, Savi is in the kitchen when Neil asks for his special tea. Bhavani offers to make it, but Savi steps in. Neil affectionately says he’s sure his wife makes the best tea. However, upon tasting it, he dislikes it and complains that after so many years of marriage, she still doesn’t know his preference. Isha intervenes, telling Neil that Savi must be tired and offers to make the tea herself. Neil agrees, saying from tomorrow, he will only drink tea made by his wife.
Later, the family is shocked when Rajat’s mother and sister arrive with a lawyer. They announce their intention to fight for the custody of their grandchildren and serve legal papers. As the family reels from this, a courier arrives with a letter addressed to ‘Savi Thakkar’. Neil, holding the envelope, asks who Savi Thakkar is. The family is stunned into silence. Savi steps forward and reveals that it is her maiden name. Neil is shocked to learn this new piece of information about his wife. He opens the letter and discovers it is a reinstatement notice from the police department for ACP Savi Thakkar. The revelation that his wife is a high-ranking police officer leaves him speechless. A flashback shows him arguing with an officer who he now realizes was Savi in her uniform. Isha tells Savi that she cannot rejoin the force and must stay home to take care of Neil. Despite this, Savi goes to her room and puts on her police uniform, looking at her reflection with determination. Neil walks in and, mesmerized, helps her put on her cap, admitting he never imagined a police officer could be so beautiful. He puts her watch on her wrist, and she leaves for duty.
Review
This episode was a rollercoaster of emotions, masterfully balancing romantic tension with high-stakes family drama. The classic amnesia storyline is being used effectively to create both sweet, awkward moments between Neil and Savi, and intense, suspenseful situations for the rest of the family. Shakti Arora as Neil convincingly portrays the confusion and fragmented affection of a man who has lost his memory, while Bhavika Sharma shines as Savi, beautifully conveying her inner turmoil and strength. The scene where Neil helps Savi with her police cap was a standout moment, filled with unspoken pride and burgeoning admiration, even amidst his confusion. The introduction of the custody battle and Savi’s reinstatement adds significant new layers to the plot. The family’s constant efforts to hide the truth from Neil are creating a pressure-cooker environment that is bound to explode. The episode did an excellent job of setting up multiple conflicts, leaving the audience eager to see how Savi will navigate her professional responsibilities, a complex marital situation, and a looming legal fight for her children.
