The search for the necklace intensifies, putting Savi in a difficult situation.
They decide to search in Rajat's car and find some rubies. Savi and Neil learn the stones in chocolates aren't rubies. Savi pleads with Maruti, Riddhi's kidnapper, to spare her in exchange for the necklace. Meanwhile, Savi's senior IPS Nitin Manjrekar warns her to stay out of the murder case. Savi agrees to Maruti's money laundering demands and lies to Bhagyashree about Riddhi's safety, saying she's in the USA. Savi then prepares to leave for Switzerland, where she is handed a suspicious bag by a goon at the airport.
