I wish that I had something intelligent to say. But all I can say right now is that I'm missing the essence of the show and characters. The episode was okay. But that's all it was.
>> Pros
1) Sunder found out about V's name and Jahnvi's status
About time that he returns with some info. Whether the info is true or not can be debated since we all know that V has made sure to establish the perfect scenario for his whatever plan to work.
2) Gayatri asks V to stay with them and Raghav leaves without a word
I actually loved that Raghav didn't dignify the stupid invite with a response -- except from turning his back and leaving. That said it all. You can't reason with people who refuse to see reason, in the first place. Gayatri is steadily digging her family's joint grave. Especially by practically handing over her family business to V.
3) Gayatri and Raghav confrontation in the outhouse
I think that what they both need is to yell at each other -- once and for all, let it out. What Gayatri said was shit annoying, and I was so frigging delighted at Raghav's answer. That there is a clear distinction between being ashamed and respecting his mother.
Gotta applaud this scene because Raghav was back. No tears. Just anger.
I wanted to slap Sia for interfering and would've preferred that Raghav had slammed his door in her face rather than allow her to watch them like she was watching two clowns in a circus. But, of course, Raghav has feelings for her and those annoying character traits of hers. Great.
4) Jahnvi hands Raghav a pillow
That was sweet and funny. The way she stopped him from smashing his fist against that mirror and placed the pillow in his hands. See? They should've just shot Gayatri-Raghav scene without Jahnvi as a disturbing element and have her appear when he was about to smash the mirror. She didn't have to know what he and his mother talked about.
Plus, give Raghav some credit for having a stunning intellect compared to other males on Indian TV. He could've handled Gayatri on his own, reached his own conclusions without Jahnvi's interference.
5) Jahnvi falls into an old habit
Finally. I've been waiting for this piece of logic to emerge in her character. When Jahnvi placed the fork and knife, subconsciously, in front of V at the morning table -- I got really happy. This is what makes her character interesting. Because she hasn't become Sia in mind, V's presence would naturally invoke fear and anxiety in her -- and have her repeat old habits. Like an addict and his drug, as I put it in another post.
This is to show that, in spite of her trying to convince herself and instead lying to herself, she is not Sia. She's still Jahnvi and V still has a hold over her that she's not prepared to break yet.
6) No RaghaVi nightmare in V's head tonight
Thank you, CVs, for sparing the purity of RaghaVi's relationship and not giving us another peep into V's dirty fantasies. I missed HarshSri's amazing chemistry, but not V's fantasies.
>> Cons
1) Double V again and again and again makes Elysia tired
I've christened the dual image "Ridiculous V", because that's what he is. The dual image, the Ridiculous V, has achieved something remarkable -- something that no character has ever managed to do to me before: He has exhausted me and I started thinking about the dinner plans for tomorrow night during his one-on-one with V. Talk about losing focus.
The dupatta scene was frigging creepy. And for a moment, I shuddered and thought: ooh, dear, he hath returneth. But then Ridiculous V showed up -- again -- and ruined the whole scene for me by erasing the scary factor and replacing it with pathetic OTT humor. I liked Unniyal better.
Same thing happened during the breakfast scene when Ridiculous V was on the table. I mean, apart from the dupatta scene, I haven't shuddered because of V for a long time. I kind of missed it, and Ridiculous V kind of ruined it for me. He just transform every scene into something not frightening at all, annoys me with his "I'm an alter ego, but not really" stamp, and the fact that he's a V clone.
One V is enough. He's been tiring me. Ridiculous V puts me right to sleep.
2) Jahnvi listening in on private conversations again and again and again makes Elysia extremely annoyed
Can I please slam the door in her face? Just once? I just wanna feel that sense of utter satisfaction when it slams in her face, keeping her out of at least one private conversation.
I can't stand it no more. What was her purpose? To guide Raghav through a conversation with his own mother? Is she his mentor now?
3) V dropping a hint and Jahnvi not catching it
O.o
He drops her the "is it just as hot in Manali" hint and the next morning she's serving him breakfast. Wonderful. What a clever girl.
4) Sunder hiding the truth from Raghav
Why? Why all this unnecessary suspense? Can we please have the old writers back?
5) No KriGhav
Well, this one is pretty self-explanatory. I miss them.
... poor guy still thought his mother was there to hurt him and so got angry yet again! 
with his family.. leave him alone for once
