Following up on the conversation about status quo, here are my two cents....
I do think that we will be back to status quo once they are back. The signs were all there in yesterday's episode. Malini statement was that if there is "sachai" in my relationship, he will come back and the sachai is still there. Both Aditya and Imlie have not yet refuted her existence yet in his life. Like it was said, that his last thought was that I need to go back and Imlie too was thinking that what reason has he given to Malini.
The disagreement that they are currently having is not about Malini and her place in his life. Its about Imlie's belief and his acceptance of the same. Aditya is not getting that, he is still stuck on the bike convo and in a roundabout way yesterday, he was taking back each and every statement that he made during the bike conversation, kind of admitting that he was wrong. There he first said that she needs to choose a different path which is not connected to him and today he first questioned her choice, almost blaming her for his current state. Second, he had said that she will keep getting involved in his family but yesterday, he accepted that she has already become an important part of his family, that they are now connected to her and there is no going back on that front. Lastly, he had said that the road is long and you need to choose a different partner to walk on it but yesterday he decided to walk with her. When she reminded him that she does not need him to walk with her, he said that its my choice (marzi) and I am deciding to walk with you. Imlie, though skeptically accepted it, but was quick to remind him that he now cannot blame her, that "Hum aapki daant nahi khayenge," as its his choice, his wish. Aditya still choose to walk with her, thus giving acceptance to their relationship. Where after the ambulance, he had accepted it with his brain that she is his responsibility and he needs to take care of her, now he is accepting their relationship with his heart, and that she is an important part of his life. He has not removed Malini yet, but has included Imlie as someone who matters, in the curtain of his life.
With Imlie, its going to be different realization. Imlie is more attuned to her emotions. Where Aditya could discard it after the ambulance or the bridge scene, Imlie will analyze them and will know after this NDE, that her emotion sickness has more deeper connotations than she is giving it credit for and here feeling have deeper meanings. Hence, if she goes back, which she will. she is going to be very hurt because accepting the other women in your husband's life when you are not in love is one thing but accepting the other women when you are in love with your husband is a completely different thing. Lets see how she handles it.
They will go back to the status quo but now their relationship is at a different level, their emotions are at a different level and try as they might, they cannot go back to being the same people that they were before the bike convo. There will be guilt, there will be jaap, there will be groveling but there will also be a different Aditya Kumar Tripathi as he had promised. A better son, a better husband but whose better husband is the question here. Something tells me, that both will find it very difficult to hide their relationship now. Lots of hits and misses.
