"Show me your character when the chips are down" is the theme of the episode.
While the LM wasis are pointing fingers at each other and taking vachans, the Pandits are doing whatever is necessary to be with their children, both their children biological and foster. Pandit and Panditayen are not perfect parents, Panditayen has wavered before in the episode where Ladoo drowns in the ganges by jumping from boat to boat as part of Anami's fool hardy scheme. But when the chips are down, when their daughter says go, they go bags packed, future unknown to be with their family.
Satrupa threw the phone today because the Pandits are no longer there to threaten and thereby control Anami. Is this the mamta she thought she had given without holding back that would bind Anami to her ? No, this is control. A person who thinks money, power will compensate for love, true selfless love the Pandits have. Like Adhiraj has.
I did not like it when Anami did not say something back when Adhi said he will die for her and her family. Foolish, foolish guy. But love is blind. Anami is not yet deserving of this love to me. But she is also a girl grappling with other things.
Baldev showed Satrupa the mirror as to what parent she was. Vatsalya always called Baldev the best father. I don't remember him saying that of Satrupa. Baldev is not very emotional, but he stands up in key moments for his daughter, notices her emotions. I feel sorry for Satrupa, but still time for the LM Bahu to step into the fire to become mother is drawing near.
I love the location shoots of RKC and they did not disappoint. The little road side cafe. I have never seen anything like it. Makes it a pleasure to watch.
