Hey Hammie,
Interestingly the discussion on morality is back on the table. Is it the means that matters or is it the end ? For the "morally weak " it will always be the end . You say "This episode is yet another ignoble endeavor by tripurari to prove to his adversaries that he can still perform an action which can cause rumblings " to which I will add its his endeavor to prove to his adversaries that he plays his own game and gone are the days of him being an obedient pet.
There was a sense of hurt, anger , sadness and shame in Trip sharing his story with Dhani . this maybe the first time he has ever shared this openly to anybody . He is that broken branch of the tree who people do not recognize and ignore while the tree stands tall and green in sunlight . He too has a claim on it . And if he is unhappy then he will ensure that the entire DT family in unhappy specially Viplav baba coz he knows that he is DT's beloved. There he lays open his mission in life to Dhani cleverly using her to deliver the news to Viplav. I really liked this scene and saw it a couple of times . Daksht did a very nice job of mixing his emotions with hatred and anger for the Tripathi family . And the - seal the deal line - who will call himself illegitimate making Dhani believe his story.
Another jolt for Viplav . Everyday a new Bavaal a new issue for him to tackle. Could this be true ? the dadaji he has such high regards for fathered a son or is it yet another conspiracy ? Dhani seems to think that Trip was genuine this time but he has to find out for himself. He hires a body to get Trips personal papers in hope of having a fathers name on it to be caught by Trip himself. The vakeel turned detective asks him a direct question - IS DT your ..father !! Yes he is ...he is my god. Viplav knows what he is trying to do , yet again lying , deceiving and playing mind games . Dhaniji must have heard wrong i did not say anything of this sort.
while at Ayodhya KT stands in front of the mirror decked in jewels reminiscing of her glory days when there is a knock on the door . Its her in laws who have her bags packed and ready to ship her to the ashram. DT is worried about his throne and gets the sense that KT & TT maybe conspiring to dethrone him . A long term solution of throwing Kt out will not work with Viplav maybe a week will be a good reprieve. KT helpless at this time reminds him that every dog has its day and her turn will come soon.
Vip & Dhani continue to be in a whirlpool of thoughts . I need to tell Vakeel babu about the ashram papers...and maybe someone else is involved . both decide to meet by the bridge they met last ...
Story wise another thread exposed - Trip being DTs son . Will Viplav be able to connect the dots ? DT not being able to link the cd with KT & TT is a bit odd. Why is dadi such a silent witness and not objecting to her DIL being sent to the ashram . liked the episode as a standalone. Vip lately seems like a tubeligt - flickering all the time. Writing is weak ..making the strong characters look weak .
That's all from me today.
