Part 1
The episode begins with Dadi coming and asking if Radhika is ready to leave for Vrindavan. RaDev exchange wistful looks and Rads nods yes. Dadi puts Rads' shawl on her and tells her the pandit has arrived and before pag phere there is tula daan ceremony. She brings Rads' downstairs as panditji is chanting mantras. Dev has a look on his face that's a combination of sadness and mild anger. He watches Rads come down the stairs. Rads is placed in an oversized scale and on the other side various items for daan are placed. Rads looks at Dev and smiles but he looks away, which in turn makes her upset. No words, but RaDev convey so much with their eyes. Everyone watches as many clothes and jewelry are placed on the other side of the scale and it slowly rises from the weight (I guess the point here is to place the new bride's weight in items on the scale? Someone please clarify as I am not familar with this ceremony). Evil trio clowns are watching greedily how many goods are being put on the scale. Shastriji arrives to take Rads to Vrindavan and the ceremony ends when the scale is balanced with the weight of Rads and the weight of the jewels and clothes. Dadi and Dev help Rads off the scale but Dev is still silent. RaDev touch Shastriji's feet and he blesses them and gives Dev a gift. Rads says excuse me father, I will be right back and walks away. Dev tells Shastriji that he will not let him take Rads to Vrindavan. Everyone is surprised.
Part 2
Shastriji smiles and tells Dev that it is custom for him to take his daughter back home for some time and custom must be followed. Dev replies, I don't care about custom, all I know is that Radhika is not fully well yet. You don't know what medicines she needs at which particular time, only I do, and it will be difficult for you to sort that out. Shastriji tells Dev not to worry, that he will take excellent care of Rads (addressing her as "your wife") and Rads is more precious to him than his own life. Rads returns and touches all the elders' feet. When she goes to Mrin, Mrin stops her from touching her feet and just holds up her folded hands sarcastically at Rads. Dadi questions where Rads went just now and she replies, I just had some unfinished work that needed to be completed. Dadi tells her she should go while the time is still auspicious. Rads turns to look at Dev then touches his feet and places her hand on her head. Dev looks so upset. "Banware Naina" instrumental is playing in the background. Everyone goes outside to see Rads and Shastriji off. Rads looks out at Dev sadly through the open window of the car as it's pulling away and Dev looks back at her. Poor guy looks crushed.Part 3
Dev enters his bedroom and goes over to the photo of Rads hanging on the wall. He begins talking to the photo saying, all what I said to you (about not doing any housework and resting) was all for your own good, but you did not listen to me...what's more, you did not even come and manao (pacify) me when I was upset, and now you've left! He goes and sits on the bed and sulks like a little kid. Suddenly he notices something under the bed cover and takes it out. It's a rose with a letter tied around it from Rads. Dev reads the letter: I'm sorry I have upset you and for that I beg your forgiveness. Please do not be upset as it does not suit you at all. Please take good care of yourself while I'm away and as soon as the proper muhurat (auspicious time) comes, please come and bring me back home. You did not even give me my nek (gift) for my first rasoi. I know you cannot stay mad at me for too long. Your Radhika. Dev smiles. The scene shifts to Vrindavan and Devaki asks Amma to taste something she cooked and tell her how it is. Amma tastes it and says it's very good. Devaki says Vishaka likes this dish, if I put it in a container will you take it to her? Amma looks upset but nods her head yes. Suddenly they hear Shastriji's voice announcing his and Radhika's arrival. Devaki is overjoyed to see Rads. Rads smiles and says Radhe Radhe Amma and Amma looks at her a little less menacingly than usual and waves her hand in a very weak (dare I say) blessing of sorts (I guess she's going to try and be mildly nice to Rads since she knows she needs Rads' help with the Vishaka situation). Devaki begins firing questions at Rads: how are you feeling? Is Dev babu taking care of you properly? What about the others in the house, how do they treat you? And that Mrinalini? Shastriji tells her to calm down and take a breath before she asks all her questions in one moment. He explains that he saw with his very own eyes how nicely everyone at PB takes care of Rads and that her tula daan ceremony was done. When she was leaving to come home with him the whole family was in tears. Devaki is happy and tells Rads to have some sweets. Rads takes one bite and then looks around the room and asks where Vishaka is. Shastriji sternly replies that Vishaka has left then changes the subject and tells Devaki to do whatever rasams she has to do for Radhika in a timely way because Dev will come to pick her up in two days. Scene shifts to PB and Dev is shown sitting on the bed holding the rose and dialing up Rads. In Vrindavan Rads is sitting chopping vegetables and the phone rings. She gets a huge smile on her face and goes to answer it. Devaki comes in the way and chatters, oh the phone is ringing today after so long. You know Rads, after you left the phone stopped ringing too. Here, you take this rice, let me see who it is. She hands Rads a tray of rice and answers the phone and Dev is a little disappointed to hear her voice instead of Rads' but he says, pranam Ma. They exchange pleasantries and then Devaki says o.k. then, bye...oh yes, you probably want to speak with Radhika, right? (DUH Devaki! Do you think he called just to talk to you?!). She puts Rads on the phone and after Devaki leaves, Rads asks Dev, you forgave me right? Dev replies I am the one who should apologize to you since I wasn't speaking with you properly. I didn't know that in an instant you'd go so far away. Rads says, but I am right there with you. Dev continues, being upset with you is like being upset with Kanha Himself. You know Rads, whenever I close my eyes, I see only you. Do you feel the same way?
Part 4
Radhika shyly replies, even when my eyes are open all I see is you. Dev says, so that means you are having as difficult a time staying without me as I am without you. Rads nods her head yes. Dev says I have a solution. I'm going to come get you right now. Rads says, but what about Dadi...Dev says you leave Dadi to me. She is your Dadi, but she's my friend. I'll sway her somehow. Scene shifts to Amma walking outside with a container of food for Vishaka. She sees a young man (Vikram) standing among a group of people. Suddenly a police jeep with the siren on passes by and Vikram ducks behind a tree. Amma sees this and thinks to herself, why is this boy hiding from the police? She slowly walks up to Vikram and he also kind of walks towards her and begins asking for directions. He's interupted by a temple priest who asks for alms and Vikram gets annoyed and pushes him. Amma says, if you don't want to give any donation just say so but why do you have to push him like that? In a saintly village you are doing such demonic behaviour? (Look who's talking Amma! Practice what you preach!) Vikram impatiently says o.k. fine, sorry. Just tell me, how many Shastrijis live around here. I know of one, he's in charge of the Kanha temple, but he doesn't have any daughters named Vishaka, right? Amma is shocked. Vikram again asks, is there any other man here named Shastri who has a daughter called Vishaka? Amma says no, no I don't know any Vishaka. Vikram rudely says, then why are you wasting my time? Fine...thanks. He walks away. Amma thinks to herself, what if this is the guy whom Vishaka is waiting for? What kind of support will a guy like this be to her? It would be better for her to commit suicide rather than be with a guy like this. I must do something quickly before this boy finds Vishaka.
Radhika is shown unpacking in her room and Amma comes in. She calls Radhika's name and Radhika gets up. Amma says, it's o.k. sit, sit...uh Radhika, do you miss Vishaka? Rads replies, yes, of course I do, I miss her very much. She is probably happy in Mumbai but if she were here it would be so nice. Amma plays with Rads' emotions and asks her, you're worried about Vishaka, right? Rads says yes, please give me her number, I'll call her. Amma then admits that Vishaka is not in Mumbai she is staying at Purab's house. She tells Rads how Shastriji asked Vish to leave once RaDev's wedding was complete. Vishaka begged and begged to be allowed to stay but Shastriji wouldn't hear of it and kicked her out, so where else was she supposed to go? (what a shameless woman this Amma is, belittling her own son in front of his daughter and speaking ill of him...lets not forget the fact that she is totally using Radhika...Rads why do you always fall into this evil witch's traps?!! She tried to murder you, for God's sake!!!) Amma continues her rant saying that it will bring such shame upon the family if people come to know that Vishaka is living with an outsider, moreover a male outsider. Rads is shocked to hear all this and agrees with Amma that it's not right that Vish was thrown out by Shastriji. Amma calls Radhika bitiya (daughter) and asks her, as Vish's sister don't you feel you have some right over her welfare? Amma then frantically makes Rads promise that she will bring Vishaka home. Rads says yes Amma, I promise I will speak with babuji and make sure Vishaka is allowed to come back home. Amma smiles a sneaky smile and the episode ends on Radhika's concerned expression.
Precap: None. Instead they showed something in reference to the show Agle Janam Mohe Bitiya Hi Kijo.
My comments: I am disappointed that Radhika is once again being dragged into her maayka's problems. She is so much better off in PB where at least Dev and Dadi are there to protect and love her. Vaishali and the trio clowns are bad news but at least they are not evil like Amma and their plans against Rads usually get foiled. I don't think Rads is safe in the Shastri home with that evil witch breathing down her neck. I find it sickening that the Creatives are trying to make viewers like Amma (or at least feel neutral about her) by showing her trying to protect Vish from Vikram and calling Rads "bitiya" and asking for her help. They seem to have closed the book as far as Amma's punishment for attempting to kill Rads is concerned. I guess they feel that justice was served by making Amma get attacked by some animals and left with a polka dotted face for a few days. Once Rads learns Vish is pregnant and the baby's father is bad news, I'm sure she will request Dev to either let her stay in Vrindavan longer so she can bring Vish home and spend time with her or worse, she will ask Dev to let them bring Vish to PB with them so she will be safe there (not knowing of course that Vikram is also a Purohit and will land up at PB evetually).
