Okay, today's episode was the start of the new Pradhyumna track, so I'll summarize it below.
Satyabhama & Jambavati are preparing for the return of a pregnant Rukmini (return? Don't ask!) and decorating the palace w/ full gusto. Jambavati wants the right to name him, while Satyabhama agrees but insists on the right to hold him.At the temple, Rukmini arrives w/ Krishna and a Manthara-like character 🤢 Satyabhama tries offering her some laddoos, but is prevented from doing so. The old lady then takes Rukmini inside. Satyabhama protests to Krishna about her rudeness, but Krishna explains that it's her dahima, who's been her attendant since she was a kid. So she's just concerned about Rukmini. Satyabhama tells him that nobody is closer to Rukmini than her sisters like Satyabhama & Jambavati, and they won't let even Rukmini's own mother come in their way, let alone a dahima.In the palace, Rukmini's godh bharai is on, and Satyabhama overrules the dahima and feeds Rukmini her laddoos. She then does a dance for her, and the usual nazar protection (anachronisms abound!) for Rukmini.Then a tantric tries to force his way inside, w/ guards preventing it, and Krishna asks them to let him in. The tantrik comes in and tells them that soon, the palace would be resounding w/ joy @ the shrills of a baby. However, that baby won't receive the love of either parent. Everybody is shocked, and the dahima starts abusing him. He remonstrates w/ her, and then leaves.After he's gone, Rukmini is very upset, and demands to know from Krishna what it is that's going to happen to her baby. Krishna is silent.
SO the SP's want us to believe that Krishna went to Vidharbha / Bhojakota to fetch Rukmini back? In the Dwapara Yuga? Wouldn't it have been aesthetically better to just show Rukmini alone emerging out of the palki and coming forward and touching Krishna's feet ? BTW, I get a distinct impression of the three giggling girls ganging up together and leaving poor Krishna out in the cold. Paints a very poor picture of the wives of that era. Especially Krishna's wives
