PS. Because of the boring episode that I had to endure, I'm not using the metaphorical names - it's also because, well, there's no real need to use it. However, I still refuse to call the snake anything else.
Khushi, Payal and Bua are standing outside, ready to depart. Khushi suddenly realises she's forgotten her idol in the house. She goes to retrieve it, and sadly says that she almost forgot her once again. She puts the dupatta over the idol, and then asks Devi Maiya for guidance - is she doing the right thing? She asks for a sign...
& the dupatta flies into Khushi's face. She reminded of something.. but is it enough?
Meanwhile at RM, the ladies are at the dining table, when Nani says that Lavanya will be cooking tonight, and Lavanya ends up dropping her plate on the floor.
Nani isn't impressed, and asks how Lavanya will be able to handle a kitchen if she couldn't handle a plate? She tells Miss Kashyap to make dhal kachori and dumaloo. Lavanya wonders why she should be stealing dhal, and asks what type of name dumb aloos is. Mami & Anjali cringe, and Anjali tries to quiet Lavanya down.
Nani is fuming, and asks why Lavanya is quiet... Lavanya says she can't cook those things. Nani reminds her of the quote: "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach", and asks how she'll be able to satisfy Arnav now? She walks away, reminding Lavanya she has to cook.
Mami & Anjali tell Lavanya not to worry - they'll handle it. But Anjali has to go to the mandir, so Mami decides to help out.
(Lavanya is bad. Like I was trying so hard not to laugh. *muffled giggles*)
Back at Bua's, Bua is locking up the house sadly. She asks Khushi once more if going back to Lucknow is the right thing... Khushi is adamant. They leave.
Back at RM, the snake is on the phone, trying to call Khushi. But no one's answering. He is furious. He needs to talk to her, to see her. Anjali walks in, and reminds him of their mandir trip. But the snake cannot make it - he has something important to do.. Arnav walks in, and the snake asks his brother-in-law to take Anjali to the mandir.
Arnav agrees, and Anjali tells him which mandir. Arnav is quite shocked. They both leave.
Meanwhile, Lavanya is sitting on the kitchen bench, looking at recipes. But she can't find the dhal ki chori or the dumb aloos. She fixates on croquettes - but reminds herself that in RM, no chicken, eggs or mutton... and so appears Lakshmi.
Lavanya apologises to the goat, but still fears her, so she stands up on the kitchen bench, trying to shoo Lakshmi away. Luckily Mami comes and does it for her. Lavanya steps down gingerly, and then Mami says that she'll be teaching Lavanya how to cook.
She asks Rahim Chacha to maintain a watch over Nani, who's sleeping right now. Lavanya & Mami get to work.
At Bua's, the snake sees the lock on the house and freaks out. No one's there. He peers through the window, but to no avail. He turns, and notices a scooter.
Meanwhile, Arnav & Anjali are in the 4WD, and Anjali guides him on the trip. Arnav says he knows where he's going, leaving Anjali in mild shock.. since when does Arnav know these small streets?
The snake is turned a different way as the 4WD passes him without a glimpse. He asks one of the mechanics about Bua - the mechanic says they left that morning with their bags.
Brother & sister get out of the car, and although Anjali asks Arnav if he wants to pray, one look is all it takes for Anjali to go alone.
Arnav looks at the door, and is reminded of Khushi.
Saving her from the building collapsing, taking her out to safety, gently laying her down on her bed, watching as she kept hold of his shirt... being told that she's leaving for good to Lucknow...
Anjali completes her pooja as her husband & brother haven't noticed each other yet. The snake decides to try a vendor to see if he can get information; Anjali turns and catches a glimpse of her husband... but then he disappears.
In the taxi Bua, Payal & Khushi are all very upset. Bua wishes there could have been another way to help her brother, but there isn't. The girls cry, and lose themselves in their thoughts.

Precap: Anjali & Arnav are in the 4WD, Anjali calls her husband.. he's standing in front of the car, unaware. His phone rings, he answers. He turns around and is shocked. Brother & sister are as well...

Oooh, but Anjali looked amazing, especially in the yellow. & Khushi didn't have much pom-poms this time I think.
Anyway, see you next week.
love+hugs.
