What aired today was the best episode of the series till date. I am incredibly impressed.âď¸

CASE SUMMARY- A bridegroom is killed on the eve of his wedding, and the only witnesses are his two friends who have been drugged and are found elsewhere in a disoriented state.
The episode was compact, tightly-knit with all the details in place, and had the right amount of team work with everyone doing their bit to solve the case.
Not to mention, the intrigue factor- we were kept guessing who the killer was till the end.
Moreover, Raghav also got to put his psychiatric training to use- his spotting of how two individuals involved had an affair by their reflective gestures- classyđ
And his desire to get one of the witnesses hypnotised to glean who the killer is.The forensic details too were well-presented- the reference to the carotid artery being cut, delineating the time of death by the fake watch, the use of rohypnol to drug someone, using information about how emeralds are affected by detergents, and how the killer used their knowledge of biochemistry...and so on.
We also get to understand the significance of one of the witnesses seeing a board and how Raghav understands something about him, which in turn leads him to the killer at the end. As I said- we are kept guessing till the last moment about the murderer, which is the way it should be.
Lovely team bonding moments too-Rajbeer and Gauri's convo in the car, Rajbeer being teased by Raghav about his food habits, Gauri and Rajbeer's another banter which leads Raghav to a revelation about the case...sweetđ

SHIPPER BITS-
As for the Trisha- Raghav moments, we didn't have much- but there are times when things have to be understood in the context.
It's curious that Raghav talks of how someone in a romantic relationship tends to mirror the gestures and behavioural tics of their partner. And in the end scene, you have Raghav and Trisha seated on the same sofa with their legs crossed- same positionđłđ I have an eagle eye for these thingsđ This is more of a bhavnaon ko samjho bit from the makers.
And some other small details like- Raghav imitating Trisha for scolding Rajbeer, which Trisha doesn't respond tođ, Raghav getting an insight into the case- a detail which he had missed- which he immediately doesn't share with Rajbeer and Gauri sitting right across the table, but shouts out for Trisha so that he can share the revelation with her, Trisha laughing heartily when Raghav chides Rajbeer for jumping the gun and underestimating him...subtle things which aren't so explicitly seen, but add to their dynamic.
And dialogue of the day goes to Trisha- "Pyaar aur dosti ke beech ka farak humein pata hai". I was like - really?đđ

Overall it seems to me that the makers ARE listening. I was cribbing on and on about the sixth episode in particular, but all my complaints have vanished after this episode. Even my complaint about the walk of triumph seems to have been taken note of. Strangeđ˛ It's almost as if someone is reading our views on the forum.
I can't appreciate the writer enough for such a brilliant episode, really. You made my Saturday. Good work!

My advice to those who haven't caught the epi- RUN. And watch it nowâď¸
