On the montage. I do see your point on the designing.
I have seen two new montage so far. One clearly has P as very less significant yet placed between Sai and Virat. Here, if you note Sai is not the left side.
But what I wrote about earlier was wrt the one which has V in the centre. And the reason for reading it on the placement of Sai and P, is based on the fact how they switched the places from the old one. This is why the I focussed on the wife's placement in left side...in both the montages. That is the most significant difference between the old and the new montage. But yes, that is a more general one..it will have more intricate emphasis as well.
How we know Sai, she will not take any excuses on the fact that V is married to V (P or anyone). So, nothing can make her go and stay in CN. So for now I see him maintaining two abodes. And for now maybe Sai will not even know about P. It will be more of hit and misses and V trying hard to keep this fact hidden from Sai. But I do see Sai enter CN at some point.
For the drama quotient, she has to. What circumstances they create for this is for us to wait and watch. But Sai keeps humanity above anything. And she is sensitive that ways. So when it comes to these she will out her own pain aside. She may not enter as V's wife/ex. She will come as a doc maybe.
Another reason why I feel Sai will return is how CN dynamics have changed since she left. She has to see it and deal with these. The team swapping will only be more active when Sai is present. Also, if Sai was never meant to return during P's wife role, why will P be staying in that room with all of Sai's things removed from there. Why did V not move into some other room with P? It doesn't make sense that V will share the room with P when he is still living with Sai's memory. Again, Sai will have to see this, she will witness all of this, including him staying with P in that room while she puts up in another.
If P is acting up, there will definitely be face-offs which will be parallel to the scenes where Sai was the wife.
It all depends on how and why Sai returns to CN.
Savi is the pull factor, or else everyone would have easily discarded Sai. She is dispensable for them, more so now.
Also, BK's political aspect probably will have a role to play. With Sai and Savi her family dynamics will come into spotlight and they would want to steer clear from any controversy. Possible media glare on Savi can also be a trigger point.
In all this Sai will still be clear on her stand. It will be V who will be struggling to keep his farz and pyaar balance. And rightly said...it is his punishment.
Let him run pole to pole. It his his raita..let him sameto it too.
