I didn't see an update, so I'll fill one in quickly now.
Precap: A new man is introduced to Neeraj by Raghu, and he tells Neeraj that he's his dadaji, and the story of how he got estranged from Neeraj's dad Ramesh. He begged Neeraj to come back w/ him, but Neeraj spurned the offer & left w/ Sandhya.

Sandhya broods over past events

Neeraj & Sandhya are riding back home. Sandhya is on the phone w/ Savita (presumably), and tells her that they have left Pune & are on their way back to Mumbai. She tells her that Shreya had called, and was going to stay @ their father's house in Mumbai for a few days.

Both of them are quiet, since Neeraj is still in a sullen mood after the confrontation w/ his dadaji. Sandhya is deep in thought, bemoaning that she has to return to her maayka, even though she originally had dreams of living & dying w/ her hubby. She then gets flashbacks of everything that happened to date - her marriage to Yuvraj, their honeymoon w/ Neeraj, her finding out that Yuvraj was a eunuch, her attempt to tell Yuvraj that she accepted him the way he is, Yuvraj trying to get her raped by DK and DK attempting it...

Sandhya thinks it's all over, and that her father used to say that a girl's real home is her sasural, and that if she returns, the maayka is let down (which is part of the problem Shradhya has). She apologizes to her dad that she, unlike her sisters, couldn't fulfill his desires (uh, Sandhya, you know that your father tried to end your marriage even though the ceremonies were complete, so why this? Besides, once Shradhya returns, it'll be obvious that some marriages just ain't worth it.) She tells her father that she had no choice but to return, since she had lost everything - including his life. She thinks that had she not been blind, the Jagirdars wouldn't have done such a heinous plot against her & her family, and blames herself for it. šŸ˜•

Neerdhya in the Savratkar home.

Neeraj is sitting in the house brooding, while Sandhya is left staring @ him. Shreya has the food ready, and invites them to come & eat.

Sandhya invites Neeraj to the table, but Neeraj declines, telling her that he ain't hungry. He tries to leave, but Sandhya stops him. He tells her that he just doesn't know what to do & how to handle it. Sandhya tells him to live it to HIM, and that since HE fixed everything, HE'll see to it that this is okay as well. Why take out his anger on food? Neeraj asks why is it happening to him - until yesterday, he remembered squat, and suddenly, this unknown man comes out of nowhere, reminding him of his parents. It would have been better had he not remembered anything.

Sandhya tells him that he was the one who used to encourage her, so how can he be so demoralized now? She reminds him that neither of them had eaten for 2 days, so if he doesn't eat, she too would starve. Neeraj has no choice but join them @ the table.

Shreya serves Neeraj his food, but he is hesitant. Sandhya asks Neeraj whether she has to feed him personally, and @ this, Neeraj smiles and starts eating.

Shreya & Sandhya discuss her future

After the meal, Neeraj is off to bed, while Shreya & Sandhya tidy things up (the first time Sandhya has ever done that - as a blind girl, she never had to). Shreya thinks that he must be asleep, being totally tired, and Sandhya tells him that they were worried about Yuvraj the last 2 days, searching for him (his body?) in the jungle (why did you have to do that? Leave it to the police. Anyway, Sandhya & Neeraj may have had a chance to catch up on events here) Sandhya however thinks that Neeraj has not gone to sleep. Shreya teases her about being very attentive to Neeraj, and Sandhya tells her that ever since meeting his Dadaji, he's very tensed about it. Shreya teases her again, and they finish tidying up the dining room.

Shreya tells Sandhya that she & the other sisters were discussing her - has she thought about her future? Shreya tells her to move on past Yuvraj, and think about her future & a new life. Sandhya asks her what she means, and Shreya tells him to look for a new guy and marry. šŸ˜• Sandhya tells Shreya that she can't marry again: after doing it once, everything she saw just frightens her. Now, when marriage is mentioned to her, all it does is bring back those ugly memories - how she changed from a bride to a pawn. The very mention of marriage makes her skin crawl, so she can't do this again.

Shreya tells her that just b'cos the past was ugly doesn't imply that the future would be as well. She tells her that just b'cos one falls doesn't mean that she stops walking. None of it was her fault, so she really does have to move on past whatever happened. She tells her that everyone is not like the Jagirdars (in fact, very few are), and that some are like Neeraj, who risk their lives for others.

Sandhya tells her that her fate isn't so good, which is why despite loving her, Neeraj couldn't find her, and instead, the Jagirdars did, and Neeraj had to pay a big price for loving her. He had to revolt against the family that raised him. (Sandhya, even w/o you, Neeraj couldn't have remained there for long, since sooner or later, he was bound to find out about their crimes, and that would have forced him to spurn them)

Sandhya recalls how she had lost her mom & her sight when she was 4. As a result, she had to be a burden on everybody, and the cause of her father's death on her wedding day. (Dear, you got back your eyesight, & justice) So nothing good has, nor can happen to her. So she can't destroy someone else's life by making him hers. Therefore she plans to spend the rest of her life single - be it happily or sadly. Sandhya then tells Shreya that she's tired, and will now sleep, and pulls over her bedsheet.

Dadaji appears

Next morning, after being ready, Neeraj is thinking, and Sandhya tells him that she hadn't said anything yesterday since he was pretty upset. Plus she's unsure of whether she should really discuss this or not. Neeraj asks her to say things openly.

Sandhya tells him that she understands that this is his own family matter, and she probably doesn't have a right to tell him anything about it, but she too was there, and heard everything he had heard, so she wanted to tell him that he ought to forgive him. He looked genuinely repentant. Besides, he's so much elder, so seeing him w/ folded hands doesn't look appropriate. She suggests that if his parents were alive and knew that he was looking for them for 27 years, they too would embrace him.

She tells him that relationships don't end easily - and gives the example of herself & her sisters. They were separated this far, but they forgave her. She requests Neeraj to forgive his Dadaji, saying it's not good to hurt elders like that. Plus if he sees Neeraj as a son, Neeraj too must be seeing him as a father. Sandhya asks him to return w/ him.
Dadaji happens to be there & notices the comment.

Neeraj tells her that he's willing to forget everything, but how's he to forget that while they were alive, his Dadaji took a ceremonial bath in his bhauji's name? At this point, Dadaji interrupts, and tells them that he's willing to apologize again. Shreya, Sandhya & Neeraj are surprised to see him (as am I - how do these millionaires magically find out where their targets are?) He goes up to Neeraj and is about to touch his feet 😲, when a shocked Neeraj stops him, addressing him as Dadaji. Dadaji is very excited that Neeraj called him that, and they have a hug šŸ¤— Sandhya & Shreya are both happy.

Sarla out on bail

Sarla is outside a courtroom, and an officer hands her her phone, telling her it's her dad. She tells her dad that she's gotten bail. She won't be coming home, but will stay in Mumbai, and asks her dad to arrange for a flat there. She has nobody in this city, (can't you shack up w/ Dipeshbhai? šŸ˜†) and Prabhavati's & Pankaj's bail application had been rejected again šŸ‘ She will do what she can to get them out, and asks her dad for money & a roof. In response to a question, she tells him that she'll stay there, since she probably would have to visit court often.

Plus, she has a score to settle w/ somebody!

Comments

I put much of my reaction to the main events of the episode here, so just some reactions to some of the other things I noticed relevant probably only to this episode.

First of all, one of the things about the Savratkars was that they were poor, and @ the beginning of the story, the house they showed was big (since there are 5 daughters) but otherwise pretty ordinary. But this time, Neeraj & Sandhya returned to what looked inside like a mansion. It didn't look like Mohan's house, and besides, he & family were not there. Somehow, the CVs forgot that aspect of it.

Oh, and Neeraj was back from his Mawali clothes to his normal ones, but where did he get all that so fast? The Jagirdars had burnt everything of his, and Sandhya had just managed to save a shirt, a family photo & his diary. (Did she return them, will she or have the CVs forgotten? šŸ˜†) Yet, Neeraj looked like he & Sandhya just attended a sale @ Park Avenue b4 getting home, and that Sandhya had her old maayka overhauled. For the first time ever, Sandhya got to work inside the house.

Neeraj's reconciliation w/ his Dadaji was touching. Only thing, it probably separates Sandhya from Neeraj again, but it's not a good idea of him to live w/ her if he wants to marry her. But if he's reconciled w/ his Dadaji and has something to call his own, it's easier for him to ask for her hand. Hope they have a cooling off period, but then hope it comes soon.

Rest of my comments & observations - see the EDT link above.

Episode rating: šŸ‘šŸ¼šŸ‘šŸ¼

šŸ‘šŸ¼: Neeraj back in his normal form, Neerdhya moments, Shreya's conversation w/ Sandhya, Neeraj apparently forgiving Dadaji

šŸ‘ŽšŸ¼: Sarla plotting revenge, Sandhya getting her pointless flashbacks about the Jagirdars and going into a 'woe betide me' mode, Shreya bringing up marriage immediately, the possibility that Neerdhya may be separated again if he goes w/ his dadaji

Thanks for the update. I would like to see Sandhya and Neeraj get married before the Jagirdars cook up something nasty for them.

Thanks for the UD :)
Quite a nice epi..except that i didn want the Jagirdar chapter to be re-opened again..i thought 'twas finished for good..but nope the CV's do want us to understand that the fire of revenge doesn't extinguish soon!! so guess we'll have to again see Sarla n co trying to destroy Sandhya's life as well as Neeraj's!! like u've stated i too was quite taken aback by Sarla's character..it was shown that all that mattered to her was money ie., the property n her well-being of daughters..she was the one who loathed Prabhavati n Yuvraaj at one point of time!! n now she's all soft n is like vayni ..vayni n supports her!! agree that at the time of crisis she has to support her(or else she's gonna get a whack frm her loyal vayni-devoted husband!!) but her true nature was not this!! looks like after all an enemy's enemy is always a friend!!
I didn like the way Sandhya was blaming herself..a person in her position wud do so..but still she must realise that it's today tht her father will be most happy...she's finally out of the clutches of the J's!! that's what he had wanted..she tld Neeraj the same..if all this has happened it means that God has some reason for it n he himself will pave the future!! so it applies to Sandhya too.. so why simply brood over the past n blame oneself!!
Gone are the days when ppl used to think if a girl returns to her maayka..it was a let down of the family's maryaada!! now things are quite different n i believe the J's as well as Sandhya all are in the 21st cen!! leave alone returning to maayka ppl are in live-in relationships n there are guys who are ghar-jamais now!! hence it doesn make a big difference..sandhya after all has returned back home only when her hubby is dead n ther's no one in her so-called sasural...so why feel bad that you are not able to fulfill your father's desire n you are letting down your family!!
I liked the way Sandhya tried convincing Neeraj..she clearly statd that she's got no right to interfere in..but as she's seen n heard everything she jus wants to suggest him ultimately indicating that Neeraj's decision is the most important n it's left up to him!! Neeraj trying to reconcile with grandad dear was no surprise after all yeh khoon ka rishta aur rakt sambandh hai!! just hope that this grandfather remains the same n supports n helps Neeradhya when the war begins again!!
as for Shreya suggesting marriage to sandhya..i was like God..give that girl a break!! she's undergone so many things n emotions must be turmoiling in her heart n u pop saying 'Sandhya what has happened has happened..move over the past get into the present..why dont u get married..' this statement wud have been right when said after a few days when Sandhya has calmed down n she has a clear mind!! poor girl she must be now so affected tby the recent quick turn of events!! i dont like Neeraj n Sandhya marrying right away..i mean agree that there are chances they might be seperated off again..but still they need to get some time..they need some space!! this does notr mean that i'm not eagerly awaitng to see the new romantic track of Neerdya..only thing is instead of marrying n seeing how their love blossoms i wud like it to be the other way round!! why not show the love blooming slowly now n later at a stage when things are settled they cud get married off!! right now Neeraj badly needs to concentrate on his family n his survival(he may have forgiven dadaji but dont know how far he's gonna accept the new relation...he might want to stay alone n in that case money..job n a house to live are very necessary!!) n Sandhya on hers!! Marriage is not the ultimate.. might be she cud look for a career n try to settle down n then later marry Neeraj!!
