While I disagree with some of your comments, on the whole I am pretty much on board. Although, I do want Annika to get her voice back in the upcoming episodes (if for no other reason than female autonomy), but I get what happened in today's episode.
Today was about getting the perspective of the different family members because the last three episodes have been Shivika based and we have heard a lot of exposition from Annika and Shivaay.
Shivaay was married to a different girl than the one they expected, of course they will have strong feelings. They have no reason to question Shivaay about the change in bride because he has been clear about what/who he wants to marry from the get-go, so why would they think it was his fault?! Only Omkara suspected. We know that Pinky is insecure about her position in the family (we had a whole episode dedicated to it) so she was always going to react vehemently. Pinky can't blame Shivaay per se, because she understand what was at stake (they saw it with the Ranas) so for Pinky, she needs someone to blame and right now that is Annika.
Tej's stance was what it was because he is a business man just like Shivaay. He understood what was at stake. Omkara was really unhappy with Shivaay. Kalyani was upset too because she never thought that Annika would support Shivaay in something so 'wrong' because in the past Annika has always stood up to him and she doesn't know the ins and outs of what happened.
None of them are suffering from amnesia. It's just that it's a shock to everybody's system.
As for Annika, she has been through one hell of a day. Shivaay turned into a beast, she thought she saw Sahil get blown up and she has just been made to get married and lie to the whole family, a family she still respects might I add. Her system is still reeling and is just in shock. Shivaay is the one in control of this set up right now and the onus is on him to explain himself. Annika has not had any personal space to regroup, which is what she gets when she gets home. It is why she straight up tells Kalyani the truth when they come to visit her the next day.
