Interesting episode because there was little to no Tripathis. Few things...
1. Imlie will do indentured servitude for money for family she nauranis for, but she doesn't like the idea of a gift because it implies feelings from Aryan. Girl gets on a stool within kissing distance to threaten the boy. No wonder he was scared by the aaps and sirs earlier on.
2. Aryan tears up these days whenever he sees Imlie in pain. His facade is starting to crack. Di noticed and warned him that Imlie will figure it out too.
3. Aditya again proves that he's not a man of his word. He said he will beg. Aryan gave him the perfect opportunity by cutting him to his knees and the man walked off with another insult to Imlie. Aryan did right to tell him to get out.
4. Aryan humbles the Tripathis, esp. Aditya and Malini because they insult Imlie. He makes sure she cannot be disrespected by anyone, far less him. That's what sets him apart from Aditya.
5. Malini doing more charity with her parents' money only to be outdone by someone with a deeper pocket. This was fun to watch. Aryan did say he kept the might to destroy her and she should have picked on someone her own size. Imlie was never her own size.
6. Aparna is ready to move to Anu's with a few mouth breaths and tomorrow she will do a few more hiccups before accepting a whole house from her ex-bahu. But they don't take charity from bahus, so Imlie is beti which helps. Problem? Malini said she bought the house and Aparna didn't complain either! Lofty talks and no self-respect is the motto of the Tripathis.
7. Now Aditya should be the indentured servant and pay Imlie off with interest. But he will not of course because he has his man ego to protect, so he will just keep insinuating she slept with Aryan to buy him a roof over his head - as if that makes him look better. If the girl prostituted herself for his family, that's still a major gift and sacrifice. Still better than Rapini and her assault to have him.
8. What's with the glasses? To add maturity? Make the guy guy act first. He's like me when I have a clay mask on, afraid to move a muscle in case it cracks!
9. Aw at the ear reddening bit with Aryan. Didi is on to him.
10. Aryan is such a responsible boss. I wish mine would buy me a 5 crore house for nothing!
