When can you be certain that a particular relationship is true?
Only when people do the same things in the same manner at the same time. An example was shown in today's episode. Indu was eating watermelon at the same time that Mysterious Indira lookalike was eating. They spat out the seeds (along with some of the fruit) at the same time. And what's more? They did it the same number of times. When the realization hit me, I was choked with emotion. Do we need other proof? There is now cosmic proof and indication that the lady in the asylum and Indu are mother and daughter. Maybe we can discount the fact that earlier, when Zara was introduced, some similarities were shown to convince us that they had some connection. But in such cases, a good memory is unpardonable.
Let's move on.
Savita is a stepmom. True to her colours, she eats without feeding her stepkids (who were looking like orphans sitting on a rickshaw eating biscuits). What Ishaan, Rishi, Munna, and Seher do not know is that its really easy to frighten Savita. Just show her a gulel and she'll do exactly as you say! But none of these guys has the wisdom of an eight-year-old. They haven't seen the world or understood how it works. So, its left to Indu to help Ishaan and Seher get their rightful place in the house and at the dining table. Again, emotional moment.
Before this happens though, Savita eavesdrops onto a really nice and sensible conversation that Munna and Rishi were having. Munna, for all his weaknesses, is a genuine chap who acts first and thinks later. Today, a truly repentant Munna wants to make it up to his kids, but Savita dangles a bottle of imported daru in front of him and plays on his single weakness. Rishi requests Savita to not tell Indu about his marriage with Zara, but when threatened with the gulel, she does exactly that.
Indu storms into her father's room, and after hearing out whatever he has to say about Indira Sharma and how great she was and how he thinks Zara can be a good replacement, er...a good mom to Indu, Indu erupts. "Bol diya jo bolna hai? Ab meri suno. Meri sirf ek Mummy hai aur woh hai Indira Sharma!!" Did anyone expect this from a sweet eight-year-old?? What pangs her Shweta Mummy would have experienced hearing these words! After all, she had not raised her to be forgotten in an instant, right?? But what was that about a good memory being useless?
She also said "Woh zinda hai aur main unhe is ghar mein wapas lakar hi rahungi. Yeh ek beti ka vaada hai." And I just know...I just know that she'll do it! Against all odds. That's the stuff that choti hitler is made of. Koi doubt mat rakhna!
BTW, Indu's achievements in the day include being found by her teacher and displaying some bad manners again. She sent her teacher on a complete guilt trip for no fault of hers. The teacher had followed Indu to Bhatinda only to ensure that she brings her back to Delhi safely, and Indu gave her some lecture about how the minister would scold her for not being able to handle a kid. Not only that, after reaching Delhi, she runs away again with the gigantic fingerprint, but was caught by Rishi in the nick of time. She's really annoying, this kid.
I loved the precap. We saw Zara in uniform! They remember that she is in the police. And she is being felicitated for bravery. Cannot be for smart investigation because there was none. Brings me to the question: Where is Malik? And if he is still absconding, then why is Zara being awarded? If anyone knows, please write in.
