Alrighty I'm back after recovering (I'm still pretty heartbroken actually) from that emotional and thrilling episode of EBI. So much happened in that one episode! My goodness these 20 days are going to be so hectic! Let's not waste any more time and get into the business end of things.
Highlights:
1. Mriara separation:
There was something really raw and understated about their separation that made me feel as though they were parting forever. It wasn't a huge cry-fest where everyone cries unnecessarily; it was meaningful and very heartfelt. Chhavi was really awesome today because she genuinely looked like she was crying for real and the way she was hugging Viraf was too good! They look like a couple in love, a couple who always hold hands and a couple that have a relationship straight from the heart. When Do Pal started playing during the jail sequence, I could feel my heart strings pulling because they were both so apt in their portrayal of emotions. Probably one of the most beautifully executed separation scenes I've seen on TV. Raw, genuine and completely heartbreaking.
2. MJ the sensible and Tara the emotional:
For so long we thought that MJ wasn't comfortable with telling Tara about Dadu or the fact that RP is behind everything and that he was being silly by not telling Tara everything. How wrong were we! He knew exactly why Tara shouldn't be told all of this as he knows that she is confrontational. Tara has never been the type of person to sit back and endure the pain. From the very beginning, we saw her fight with the guys who stole her stall keys, confront Kalavati and beat up goons who have threatened to harm MJ. She even openly challenged MJ after she found out who he really was. From past experience, he knows very well that she wouldn't wait for an opportune moment to attack RP and would go straight for the kill.
It was so touching that through all of this he was thinking about Tara's wellbeing. That promise he made her keep just proves how much faith he has in her to save this family from RP. I think we've always attributed MJ with being ruled by his emotions but today he showed maturity and sensibility. He knows that he has a responsibility to protect all his loved ones from the clutches of RP.
Tara, judging from the precap, is acting upon her emotions. She is deeply hurt that her husband is serving jail time and possibly facing a death sentence for something he had nothing to do with. Like I said before, she is confrontational and unfortunately her openly challenging RP could mean that she targetted when MJ is not around to save her.
3. Nirmala and her guilt:
I think she is probably the most misunderstood character on this show in that we never really tried seeing things from her perspective. She is also a mother who tried to protect her son. She has had a rough past where her first son was killed and she was married off to JR when her lover ran away. There's all this speculation now over whether or not that first son is MJ but I don't really think it is. I say that because a mother can sense and feel the presence of their children no matter how detached they are from them. God has given all mothers that sixth sense where they can't see their children suffer no matter how horrible or good a person they are - Nirmala hasn't ever been affectionate towards MJ except for that time when he stood up for her but that didn't last too long. She will be silent now for Adi's sake but I'm sure something will cause her to break her silence soon enough.
4. Dadaji and Tara:
Our dream of Tara looking after Dadu is coming true! This was such a sweet scene where he thought that MJ was with him when Tara was feeding him. Yes, it means that MJ has left behind his touch with Tara (of course they hold hands so much that it was bound to happen!) but also means that Dadaji feels the same security and comfort with Tara that he felt with his most beloved grandson. I can see her nursing him back to sanity and him also helping her reveal the evils of RP.
5. Tara puts the dots together:
She is one intelligent girl! She figured it out so quickly that RP is in fact Kalavati. Any other heroine would have taken a couple of weeks to realise but she has a brain that works at jet-speed. This is however very dangerous as Kala gets rid of everyone who comes to know of his identity and she shows no mercy when killing them off. Obviously Tara isn't going to die but I'm scared that she wil be a major casualty - Maybe a reason why MJ gets parole?
It's obvious that no one in the house except Tara, FC and Dadaji know about his real identity but FC is loyal and Dadaji is mentally unstable so Tara has to fight herself. I have a feeling that RP will manipulate the situation to make Tara seem like she's going mental because of her husband being in jail. He made Dadaji go crazy so there's nothing stopping him from doing the same with Tara.
Apologies for the really long post and I hope you're heartbreak is fixed. Mohi dear, your medication is much required now as the emotions and drama are only going to increase from here on end.
Off for now,
Shegufta xx
