Maybe it's because I didn't have any expectations, but I enjoyed it.
I thought it would be worse from some of the reactions. Anika jobless for 3 months was a shocker *sarcasm* I knew the writers wouldn't let her be self-reliant, but she looked pretty that's a positive...I guess 😆
I didn't like his striped suit in the promo, but he actually looked really good in the episode. The shorter hair works for him. Ignoring Pinky was the best part.I know she can't be exposed so soon so I'm cool with the royal ignore. The funny part is Pinky got rid of Anika, but nothing changed for her. He is still doing whatever he wants and she still has no control lol. What little civility the others had for the sake of Shivaay is also gone from yesterday's episode. Anika was right she has nothing without Shivaay. Watch her cling desperately to Ragini only to be thrown aside by her when she is done using her lol.
Om's coma is still bizarre to me, but the confrontation scene was interesting. When I read the tweets, I thought he was just being evil Tej, but he just lost hope. He didn't want his son to suffer anymore. Surprisingly for once Tej wasn't acting out of malice.
New entries are weak as characters its your typical vamp and drunkard that lost someone. Nothing new and exciting about them. I get we're supposed to feel bad for him, but I didn't. He's roaming around drunk wallowing in pity when people like Anika are struggling to survive no matter how crappy the situation is. She keeps getting dealt a bad cards she deserves to lose hope and have pity party not some rich kid born with a spoon silver in his mouth. As a grown man he has armed escorts driving him home because he can't cope like an adult and I'm supposed to feel bad for that 😆
Ragini has been setting the trap for months and Pinky being the superficial idiot she is fell for it lol. I guess this why the writers had Omru & Jhanvi apart of Anika's plans. She won't be able to win them over the people that he really values and cares about. It's Tia all over again with Pinky championing all alone and everyone that matters not wanting him to ruin his life 😆 Still feel like she will flip on Pinky because she is a vamp and that's what vamps do. The engagement party feels like a trap for him. The scary movie BGM for her was funny she is the typical smirking vamp lol.
Overall, it wasn't a bad episode. He still runs away from his feelings but Omru are still number 1, Tej is trying to kill Om again, Jhanvi still doesn't fight for her children, Daadi still has no authority, Pinky is still evil, Sahil is still missing, Chanda still gets cute clothes, we still have extras that story doesn't need, and Anika still can't get a break from the writers. Not much changed in 3 months 😆
