Every death is adding more to already established endless barrier between Maya and Rudra. It will keep on adding more gap as long as there is a war and they are standing on different sides. The way Rudra showed that he is happy MayRa died, she killed his brother and tried to kill his father. Now, the same situation will arise again when he will find the truth about Maya. Now, will Rudra be as happy as now to kill Maya? Or will he try to see another side too?
Rishi's death made MJ more determined for winning and Myra's death brought the hatred on surface again for Maya. The moment she starts thinking from heart, something happens to pull her back in darkness. To come out of this cycle of hatred will take more illuminated light from Rudra and maybe many lives in the process. Both side is ready to die to get what they want.
I liked the episode, it showed the things we were only hearing till now, MJ is ruthless. His only motive is to win on his own terms. He can kill without hesitating but is ready to put his life on line for getting the things he want. Was clearly waiting to see this side which can go against Maya on equal foot
