The episode starts off with Advay in front of Chandni. She doesn't want to talk to him. He blocks her path and hands her a card. "Advay weds Chandni", Chandni is unamused by the gesture. She calls it misbehaving, and tells him to move out of her path. Advay declares himself her destination. This scene shows the level of listening Advay takes on when Chandni isn't submitting to his whim.
Chandni defends PPji, which to Advay's amuse as the music starts playing. PP is drunk. He's dancing like a fool to Naagin. Advay muses, you were saying, Chandni? Advay actually had ordered Murli to feed PP Shikha's ladoos.
After minutes of embarrassing himself, Indrani turns off the music. She suspects that someone fed something to PP. Indrani wants them to confess now. Shakun admits she saw PP eating ladoos, Indrani inquiries who made them and now Kajal states that Shikha did. Shikha is on silent mode. Indrani calls Shikha forward.
Chandni knows this was Advay's doing. She stops Shikha. Chandni goes forward to take the blame on herself. Advay intervenes and says he fed PP the ladoos but didn't know they had bhaang. The blame shifts back to Shikha this way, and in the end Veer steps in and takes the blame. He says that he meant it as a joke. Indrani leaves Veer with a warning. Everyone leaves with Advay and Veer alone.
AdVeer have their moment where the prospect over the fact that the other lied to impress their respective girl. How accurate. They know each other so well. Sach me bhai hai. Why can't they be friends? Atleast something would be good. I find it interesting how they took the blame for their respective partners though. It makes you a bigger person to protect someone in their time of need and shouldering their burden on yourself. Advay and Veer will do this again, perhaps in a different form, but it shows that their is something to protect. Do you get it? Comment if you don't.
Later on, Shikha goes to Veer. She asks him why he took the blame, he asks how he knows he's taking the blame. Shikha admits she added bhaang to the ladoos. Veer goes on to say it's okay. He's not a changed man, he's a reformed man. Is there a difference? Shikha leaves acting sincerely grateful, Veer muses over his plan working. On the other hand, Shikha knows what's up and isn't fooled. She vows to get him back in a way that he'll never forget.
The scene moves to Indrani worrying for PP. they confirmed he's alright. Indrani goes on to explain the ritual as husband and wife become each other's saath and sahara for life. The visuals show Chandnj and then Advay. This showed how Advay and Chandni are life partners. The editing team is not hiding anything.
PP, on the other hand, embarrasses himself with his drunk speech of wanting to carry Chandni. I'm surprised he hasn't revealed his true intentions with Chandni in drunk mode. A shame.
Indrani hands Chandni the diya. The rasam has started. Now PP has to carry Chandni.
Okay, before I continue, can I just say how stupid it is that they expect a drunk PP to be able to properly carry Chandni up the stairs when he can barely stand straight. What kind of fools? This is so forced just to show us have Advay and Chandni do the ritual.
Advay vows that he won't let PP touch Chandni. And so the plan goes in motion. Advay asks PP if he's ready, Advay uses this moment to inject PP with a drug to make him unconscious. PP is on the floor and isn't getting up. The elders worry that this will be a bad omen and will put a permanent Rahu on Chandni's future. I mean, you're sticking her with Advay, that's basically the equivalent to a permanent Rahu.
Advay, playing golden saviour, offers to take PP in Chandni's place if the rasam is so important to you everyone. He knows it's awkward, but he'll do it.
Chandni asks Indrani how that's possible. She's doing her best to resist Advay's ploy, but to no avail. Yash supports Advay carrying Chandni up the stairs. He calls her name for the first time. This makes Chandni happy. Chandni declares she will do anything for her Baba, so she gives Advay permission to hold her. Advay carries Chandni. They have a moment and the episode ends.
In the Precap, Chandni reveals that she won't make this easy for Advay. Advay muses he doesn't like easy roads. He says he will take her pain as a gift and hold it close to him. That's so beautiful and really interesting how Meghna and Shikha set up Advay. His feet are covered in blood but he had not faltered in his step. This is probably the effect of being an eternal Aag that doesn't burn out.
The episode was overall good, but I'm more looking forward to him carrying her up the stairs. Let's see how that goes. If anything, the Precap is a testimony to Advay's vitality in how much he can do when he's fighting Chandni.
