Just watched the epi. It was way better than yesterday's epi. Less Didi ss & more focus on the Ts saas-bahu-beta trio really made me enjoy the epi more.
Thankfully Adi-Imlie are not wallowing in guilt over Didi. Imlie told Adi that Didi is 'samajhdar' & will forgive them. Only that much understanding & hausla from Imlie was enough for Adi to give a rest to his groveling. Then the focus shifted back to Imlie & the competition. Adi still encouraged Imlie that she has a chance to win it. Imlie expressing doubt that CK will not participate in the quiz competition with her & that would automatically disqualify her. Aparna in the meanwhile listening at the door decides to participate in the competition to make Imlie lose.
At the competition venue Imlie is tensed about CK not joining her. Adi tries to give her some details about his Ma but Imlie tells him that she has lived with them for 8 months & knows enough about CK. The participants are called on stage & Aparna joins Imlie after making a bit of a show about not joining her. We had small pleasant FBs of happier times with each of the questions asked. Imlie answers the 1st question correctly regarding Aparna's bday which gives Aparna pause that Imlie might know the answer to other questions as well. Meanwhile AC makes it more difficult for Imlie by asking subjective questions instead of factual ones.
The 2nd question asked is what is the most important/precious thing for Aparna. Imlie recalls another occasion & answers correctly that family is the most important for Aparna. But Aparna deliberately gives a different answer about trust. She says to Imlie that family was most important for her but now her family has changed & hence her answer too. Now for her trust is the most important thing because she has been given dhoka & she will not be able to give her trust to anyone easily. As the answers are mismatched Aparna has to eat the mirchi as per the rules.
The 3rd question asked is which is the happiest day of Aparna's life. Again Imlie gives the correct answer of Adi's bday but Aparna deliberately mentions her son's real marriage day with Didi. Imlie & Adi both understand that Aparna is deliberately giving different answers in her zidd. Adi is shocked that his mother is being ziddi to make Imlie lose to which his father & BK reply that she is doing that to make them understand that they will never accept Imlie as their bahu. Seeing Aparna getting affected by all the mirchi eating, Imlie asks her why she is doing this & ruining her health. Aparna stubbornly replies that she is doing this to defeat her & to show her that she will never be accepted as their bahu. Imlie then announces that she is quitting the competition as the one for whom she was trying to win is only against her. She is liker her Amma & she cannot bear to see her Amma in pain.
Throughout the epi Aparna & other elders were thinking that Imlie needs to just go away from them. I think they are going to get their wish fulfilled somehow & it is going to backfire on them spectacularly.
As to what is going to happen next is anybody's guess because they are shooting out of order as per the availability of the cast. So I think AC will only do something to land up Adi & the Tripathis in jail. I don't think Didi has the guts to do anything against Adi. She can only deliberate on it like a pendulum. Didi will come to say stop it mom & take back the case & become mahaan some more.
After that we will get the Bunty Bhaiyya track. I think by the end of this track we will get some sort of NDE for Imlie or a separation between Adi-Imlie. Imlie has understood that the family is not going to accept her. So she herself will leave. Question is will she let Adi leave with her. She might give him some sort of kasam to stop him from leaving. I will be pleasantly surprised if we get Adi-Imlie leaving the house together.
Even if only Imlie leaves, it is going to be a hollow victory for the elder Ts. Adi might stay in house due to Imlie's kasam but his behaviour with them will make them regret. He is not going to give them any consideration at all. He will be lost to them. I don't know what I have speculated.
