The episode begins with Ashwini on a tense phone call with Tejaswini. Ashwini tries to pacify her, explaining that Neel’s (Ishan’s) condition is improving and it’s just a matter of a few days. She pleads for Tejaswini to be patient and not to take the children away. However, a distraught Tejaswini, who is in her bedroom, refuses to listen. She screams that she can’t wait for Neel to recover and wants her grandchildren back immediately. She declares she will take them back to Mumbai and that the city has taken everything from her. Ashwini is helpless as Tejaswini shouts that she is coming to get the children right away.
Suddenly, while still on the phone, Tejaswini gasps for air, clutches her chest, and collapses on her bed, unconscious. Ashwini, on the other end, is left calling her name in panic. Just then, Riddhi enters the room and is horrified to find her mother passed out. She rushes to her side, trying to wake her up. Realizing it’s an asthma attack, she finds the inhaler and tries to administer it, but her mother remains unresponsive. In a state of panic, Riddhi grabs her phone to call for help.
The scene shifts to the Chavan house, where Savi, dressed in her police uniform, receives the frantic call from Riddhi. Shocked by the news of Tejaswini’s condition, she tells Riddhi to call an ambulance and take her to the City Hospital, promising to meet them there. She rushes out of the house in a hurry. Ashwini and Prachi see her leaving and wonder what’s wrong. A moment later, Ishan comes down the stairs and asks where Savi went. Ashwini, trying to cover for her, says Savi had to leave for an urgent police raid. Ishan seems unconvinced. He then spots Savi’s phone left behind on the dining table. He picks it up and sees a notification for a credit card transaction of 50,000 rupees at City Hospital, making him extremely suspicious.
At the hospital, Savi and Riddhi anxiously wait in the corridor. The doctor comes out and informs them that Tejaswini is now stable. He mentions that she was brought in at the right time, otherwise, anything could have happened. Inside the room, Tejaswini wakes up with an oxygen mask on. Seeing Savi, she becomes furious, blaming her for her condition. She accuses Savi of being selfish and snatching her son and grandchildren away from her. She claims Savi is only thinking about herself and her new life with Rajat, while she is suffering without her family.
Just as this emotional confrontation is happening, Ishan arrives at the hospital. He asks the receptionist for Savi Thakkar’s mother-in-law and is directed to the emergency ward. Standing outside the room, he overhears the entire conversation. Hearing Tejaswini’s accusations and Savi’s pleas, and especially the mention of his name, ‘Neel’, triggers a series of overwhelming flashbacks. He sees flashes of his past life with Savi, their happy moments, and playing with their daughter, Sai. The sudden rush of memories is too much for him to handle. He clutches his head in excruciating pain, stumbles, and collapses on the hospital floor, unconscious.
Savi hears the thud and runs out to find Ishan lying on the ground. She screams his name in terror. At the same time, Ashwini, Ninad, and Prachi arrive, and they all freeze in horror. They rush to Ishan’s side, calling for a doctor. Ishan is immediately taken to the ICU. The doctor uses a defibrillator to revive him as his vitals on the monitor start to crash. The family watches through the glass, praying desperately. After some time, the doctor comes out with grim news. He tells them that while they have saved Ishan’s life, he has slipped into a coma. He explains that it could be temporary, or he might never wake up.
The news shatters everyone. Ashwini, completely heartbroken, breaks down and turns on Savi. She furiously blames Savi for Ishan’s condition, calling her a bad omen who has ruined her son’s life. She accuses Savi of bringing nothing but misfortune to their family. Prachi and Ninad try to console her, but she is inconsolable.
Witnessing this tragedy, a guilt-ridden Tejaswini approaches Ashwini and apologizes, admitting that she is also responsible for what happened. The episode ends on a deeply emotional note. Savi, with tears streaming down her face, brings her children to Tejaswini. She hands her baby to Tejaswini and tells her that the children are hers now. She takes all the blame, promising that she will never cause them any more pain. Tejaswini holds her grandchild, her face filled with remorse and sorrow.
Review
This episode was a rollercoaster of high-voltage drama and intense emotions. The writers have successfully pushed the story to a critical juncture. The parallel phone conversation between Ashwini and Tejaswini was brilliantly executed, showcasing the desperation of two mothers fighting for their children. The subsequent collapse of Tejaswini and Ishan’s traumatic memory recall were powerful plot points that kept the audience on the edge of their seats. The performances were top-notch, especially from the actors playing Ashwini and Tejaswini, whose anguish felt incredibly real. The scene where Ishan collapses after his flashbacks was a major shock, and the doctor’s revelation that he is in a coma is a heartbreaking twist. Ashwini’s complete turnaround from a supportive mother-in-law to an accuser was dramatic but understandable given the circumstances. The episode’s climax, with Savi handing over her children, was a tear-jerker, perfectly setting the stage for a new chapter of sacrifice and turmoil. The only minor flaw was the convenient placement of Savi’s phone for Ishan to find, but it served its purpose to move the plot forward. Overall, it was a gripping and emotionally charged episode that will leave viewers eagerly waiting for what happens next.
