Wow Tanthya!!! 👏 👏 Just Wow! And I say this alone for the title! Scorpion - a symbol of passion , vengeance and jealousy - that is just Wow!!! 👏

Coming to the post - or rather half of it - Just brilliant! 👏 I am always at loss of words when it comes to replying to your posts because you and Doodhs make me speechless every time! I am gonna complete my rant here today and then will reply on later to Doodhs and the rest of your analysis tomorrow. 😊

Coming to the episode - it was not a filler - definitely not - there were so many actions and reactions that one could see in the whole of episode today.

Shyam's plans have something always going wrong with them. Every time he decided to do something to make Arnav and Khushi go against each other or using Anjali as his ace card - it backfires on him. I noticed that today yet again - Anjali is the only one who will bring Arnav and Khushi back to each other. She is the common link that they both share as of now - she is the only one who is as concerned about Khushi as she is concerned about her chotte. She may be clingy - yet she will work to sort his problems out. And more so, every time Shyam makes a move against Arnav and Khushi - Anjali is the one who sorts it out.

The flower scene was a strange one if I may say. Shyam's gloating face in front of Khushi was well taken in by Arnav I think... he may have used Anjali later on - but knowing the person Shyam is - he should consider that Shyam was manipulating. Khushi was again uncomfortable to Shyam coming upto her - and I do not know whether she noticed Arnav being uncomfortable too... because he certainly was. The scene was well played - Shyam has begun to make moves in front of the family and if anyone clearly notices the tension is subtly there and is visible.

The first bedroom scene was a welcome change from the kiddish fights. It was matured and I am content with it. Yes - Khushi did say that Arnav can never give happiness to anyone - she did forget everything that you have mentioned - and I do not think she will remember it too. I would add - only if she knew that for that one person who means the world to him - he has given up everything - his and her happiness both!

s i really agree on this Anna, we really want to c this khushi who makes it a point to mention it to Arnav that she is not happy with what he is doing to her, but in a subtle and the to the point way, not shouting or playing pranks etc..she defi needs to grow up, she can play pranks wen they both are normal, not in a situation where her present as well as future is in stack.

Next comes the beautiful scene where Arnav looks at Khushi come down the stairs - he is so enthralled by her beauty that he forgets that he 'has' to hate her. His brain and his heart play their games while he looks on at her. And I say 'has' because he can never hate her. Khushi on the other hand is a bit uncomfortable under his gaze as she again is confused on what he actually wants. On request of the family members - he gives his hand to her and she accepts it slowly. He looks at her hand - like you said - trying to believe that it is in HIS hands. They both hate each other on face of it - but these small moments is when they actually feel on how wrong a situation they are in - and what if things were different.

I am not saying anything - and I mean anything about the dance because u have said it all with the title and that fabulous explanation of yours that I quote here :

Scorpions are symbols of passion, vengeance and jealousy and todays dance had all of it and much more ... Arnav and Khushi begin to dance reluctantly ... Music flows effortlessly, smoothly blending into the background enhancing the romantic mood in one so inclined , calmness in Arnav ...when Nani bring in Anjali-Shyam into the equation ... Shyam dances with Anjali, his eyes only on Khushi ..Arnav who was going through the motions of dancing catches Shyam's intent look at Khushi, Arnav in turn looks at Khushi , notices that she is not looking at him , nor is she happy in dancing with him.. The volcano in Arnav erupts , There is controlled mayhem as Arnav the ocean begins to roil ... His blood begins to boil looking at the man who betrayed his sister , looking at the man who had the effrontery to give HIS wife the boquet of Roses...Arnav's pent up temper shoots up as he sees the girl he loved/loves in cahoots with Shyam and out to destroy his sisters world ...His need to teach Shyam a lesson dominates, He begins to make his moves ... The dance ceases to become a dance of togetherness of union and becomes a guerrilla war ..Arnav Plays Khushi around, letting her go, seemingly giving her freedom , pulling her towards him , then vengefully showing off his ownership over her , ..This was a dance of Power, passion, aggression, This was a dance of authentication, authentication of his territory !! ..This was a dance where in he stamped his authority over Khushi , This was a dance where he branded her as his own ..This was a dance where Arnav showed Shyam that Khushi is his and will be .. Shyam forayed into Arnav's boundary and tried to establish a bond, a weak claim over Khushi in public view , Arnav retaliated in breakneck speed , established his rights over Khushi , averred his dominance over Khushi, declared his claim over Khushi to Shyam In Full Public view and Shyam could only Look ..In the words of Emerson who said ..One who hears me, understands me becomes mine , a possession for all time ..so does Khushi who hears him , understands him at a basic level becomes Arnav for all of eternity ..The dance of the scorpion ends after delivering a enormous sting to Shyam who had dared to trespass

The only thing I would like to say here is that Barun Sobti was fabulous in his dance moves! He was so perfect with his body language and the way he changed in between the dance was just brilliant. Hats off to him especially since he is an awkward dancer.

Seriuosly Anna, he would have worked hard for getting the poses i think, the way he stood holding her was more than enough for us, we dont want him to dance, we jus want him to make sanaya dance and he did it so well today, he dint make a single move that tampered his character, he was so ASR through out the dance and i liked it the most.

I see the triangle as you have captured in the picture - its fab that how you notice these very little things. Yes Anjali is in the center but with Shyam and that is I guess very important. One false step and the whole triangle collapses and so does all the relationships that these triangles form.

@Doodhs : I guess I took ur place - sorry! I was just too excited to make it to this post :))

Anyways loved ur analysis today yet again! It was beautiful. More over I liked that u did not focus on the dance but the other underlying layers of the whole episode.

@pam : Loved ur analysis again today. I loved the whole fire thing and the way u have explained it. Yes - Arnav extingushed the fire showing that he has taken away the light from Khushi's life and then he lights it back again bringing light back into her life - which will be when he repents.

The dance again was very well explained - his main reason was for venegance yet in the end he will be the one who will provide her the support and be her shield. As for their reactions after dance - something I wondered too! They were like - chalo we have done our dance now let us move on - however I would have expected a continuity of the scene.

Keeping it short - since time and mobile does not permit me to reply in much detail - but love all 3 of ur posts :))

Lots of Love! :))
