Well, my dear Pratiksha, my fingers are reasonably functional now thanks to painkillers n- which I avoid as much as I can- but as I do not know how soon the effect will wear off, let me hurry up with this response.
My comments are in blue.

Your thoughts please on what I thought , as and when convenient to you, without giving any trouble to your fingers.😊
I liked today's episode quite a bit. Editing needed bit of work coz just before Nand stabs Nandini, a female hand is seen on his shoulder , most probably being Rupa's, which should not be there, as Rupa stabs and hurts Nand's shoulder after all his men have left, but during stabbing Nandini all are there. Somehow, I feel production values of Chandra Nandini lacks the sense of ironing out small issues.
I must go back and look at that again. If it was as you have described it, I would not be surprised. They are quite sloppy in matters of detail which could have been ironed out so easily. Just like the Urdu words scattered broadcast throughout a 4th century BC serial.😡
But I must say, my dear, that you are sharp!
In any case, the episode was impactful and provided the chills and thrills. The hits were at the right moment. The guy playing Nand acts well and looks positively villainous. Today he brought out that horror of having committed the biggest blunder of his life in his eyes quite effectively.
Arpit Ranka, who was Duryodhana in the Mahabharata of 3 years ago, was equally effective as doting father in the earlier episodes.
Certain observations-
Now while my prediction of Nandini misunderstanding Chandra did come out to be true only for half an episode😆 , good thing is now she knows all about her father s ill-doings and been a literal victim of him, the only course of action left is doing away with all misgivings at all in her life about pratishodh from Chandra. So once she gets well, all is sorted for these two.😃
Yes, my dear, but Shailaja is threatening us all, herself included, with an awful fate: amnesia for Nandini because of the fall down the hill last night!😆It was also very slipshod of Chandra to leave that scroll with Nand's location lying around openly in his room!
But one thing is hinted at in what Chandra says to himself - more as a hope than as an assertion - when he is riding to Nand's cave. That from now on there would be nothing hidden between them and no reservations or misunderstanding- though I must check out the exact words. Which is a broad indication that it is exactly the opposite that will happen!😉
How Nand got to know about Rupa - I think Helena and Apama play a role here, this is what they were planning in the last episode about getting Rupa killed.
This is definitely one possibility, but then the question that arises is : how did they get to know of Nand's location? Unless Helena had also sauntered into Chandra's room and found the same scroll, but that seems to be too much of a stretch even for these CVs!😉
My guess would be that Amatya Rakshas' spies in the Pataliputra palace would have conveyed the accurate news of Nandini's trial and her walling in to him. Chanakya's unexpected readiness to hand over Nandini within a week would have come just after this.. No wonder Rakshas, and then Nand, concluded that with Nandini dead, Chanakya's offer was based on their having laid hold of her lookalike twin ,and that they were planning to palm her off on Nand as Nandini.
That her name is Roopa would have got to Rakshas thru the latest reports from the palace, about the impostor. Of course, the reports would have stated that Roopa had been walled in, but Nand & Co would not have believed that, for why would Roopa have allowed that to happen without protesting vigorously and revealing the truth? Whereas with Nandini, this passive acceptance was understandable, as she had no idea of the existence of her double.
This is a simpler and more plausible explanation than the Helena-Aapama, which is not to say that it will turn out to be the correct one. Let us see what the CVs offer us in due course!
What happens to Rupa - We will know in the next episode. But either she fled, or killed by Nand/Chandra.
I would bet that everyone whom Chandra would have wanted killed would have fled: Roopa, Nand, Vakranaas and Rakshas as well! I suppose Chandra will eventually kill Nand, but God knows when! Now that Nandini knows the truth about her father, his demise at Chandra's hands should not jar her so much.
All in all, a turning point in C&N s love life comparable to Zeher episode of JA as mentioned earlier by you Aunty.'
Probably a turning point, but not quite in the Jodha Akbar sense. There would be no guilt here on Chandra's part, nor any overwhelming gratitude to Nandini for having saved his life. He should be able to explain why he did not tell her that Roopa was her sister. Unless of course she loses her memory!😉 Or chooses the coma option, to keep Chhaya company!
Nandini - Get well soon 😊 otherwise Chandra will be😭😭
Yes, yes, I am sure they are getting all the largest water containers in the palace ready for collecting his ashru!😆
