Progress Points
Wow! Are we really?
The king and queen are in perfect order, so all needed now is to move the other chess pieces along in place before we play check mate.
Favorite Scene
Poor bewildered Arnav was left wondering why Khushi was running away from him. That's what you get for falling in love with a girl called Sanka Devi. But then, she is one of your own species.
Back to Business
1. Khushi spends the day connecting the incorrect set of dots and running away from the one man who'd give anything to see her alive and kicking.
2. Arnav spends the day wondering about two interesting topics:
1) Why are pests attracted to his belongings such that he has to invest his precious time in pest control?
2) Why is the one woman he is attracted to runs away from him as though he were a dangerous pest?
Well, Arnav: 1) that's what you get for not believing your wife when she warned you about pests roaming around. You should have guarded your belongings in a safer location. And, 2) that's what you get for scaring her and not letting her trust you.
3. Loved how the girl shifted to the corner of her seat at the dining table
4. Loved Arnav's baffled expressions when she screamed at his tea cup.
5. Poor Arnav! His expression were actually mind-blowing after she ran away screaming 'Murder!'
Arnav: She has never behaved like this before.
After today he might seriously consider calling in a shrink for his wife.
6. I wonder how Arnav would react if and when he figures out the reason for his wife's sudden Arnavophobia.
7. It is curious how easily Khushi has believed that Arnav can kill her. Agreed that she has no clue on why he married her, but this is a strange pointer that trust is eroded to the level that she can believe him capable of murder.
Yes, she is superstitious at times (Once she did think he was into black magic!). Is really the trust so absent?
8. The days after Khushi learns of Arnav's reason may be awkward for both Arnav and Khushi.
1. Shyam, well, the dice rolls both ways. There was a time when because Arnav blocked your money, you tricked your wife to buy you that watch. There is this time because Arnav blocked your money, you get shamefaced in public when your wife pays your bills.
It's like Evelyn said to Beni in the movie, The Mummy: Nasty little creatures such as yourself always get their comeuppance. Always!
No matter how ready the gunpowder is, a trigger is always needed.
No clue on the ASR's will as yet.
2. Shyam has shown once again that he'd stop at nothing to get money. Khushi, right now, is not in the remotest corner of his rotten mind.
Though you gotta hand it to him! He thinks he is ASR's wife - ASR earns, Shyam spends!
3. The Creep is really smart. Not only has he ensured that he would stay at RM, but he's also ensured that no one would tell Arnav about this.
This time he's not taking any risks. He knows that this time round, Arnav may not attribute it to accident, and this is one set of dots that he is keen that Arnav should not connect.
Others
1. It is interesting that it is Khushi who feels she is going to be murdered by her husband, and is taking precautions. On the other hand, Anjali who trusts her husband blindly is actually faced more murder attempts that she would believe.
2. In yesterday's game of chess, the moment Akash was distracted Bubbly went for the kill. It is reflected today in his life that the moment he is out of sight, Bubbly went for the kill.
Sure, this kid ain't the IPK version of Damien from Omen?
It seems its gonna be just as hard for Akash to believe that she is at the centre of this whodunit as it'll be for Anjali to believe that her husband is a snake.
Analysts: Wonder which of the queens it's gonna be who gets hit!
3. Anjali wanted to move out of RM, Shyam does not. I think this is one thing even Arnav would agree with. He would not let his sister out of his sight.
4. Mami Jaan is still the only person who goes and checks stuff, even if she is a bit over
5. Is Payal really romantic enough to plan a rosy candle-lit 'Lunch' for Akash?
On the Lighter Side
1. Khushi: Rat-poison is bitter, isn't it?
2. Today we saw what a Khushi-fied Arnav would look like. And this people, is precisely the reason why Heer turned into Ranjha, but Ranjha never dared to return the favor.
3. Bua ji: has Sanka Devi hit her head somewhere today?
4. Khushi ko kucch nahi howat hai. Khushi to logan ka howat hai.
Whatever that meant! I'm not certain if even Arnav understood it. And if he didn't care to ask it, neither do I.
