I had no other idea for a title...SERIOUSLY!

Maanik Malhotra...you sweetie-pie! Who is an 'emotional fool' NOW? 😆

Nandu's turn to DEMAND for a smile from her (so-called) Monster now! 😳

HOW I LOVVVEEE THESE TWO!!

Episode starts with Maanik and Aalya coming downstairs together to greet the others. Mukti teases them for coming down so quickly. Maanik is physically present amongst them but mind's still stuck on his bedroom and its present occupant. 😉 😆

They all start drinking, Mukti places a bet that if Dhruv comes here too, they're gonna win Musicana. Cabir contradicts her 'superstition' by saying they're gonna win any way. Maanik just plays along.

He makes an excuse to get his phone from his bedroom. Mukti again comments as to how he's missing his bedroom too much tonight. 😆 Is anyone else missing Rose's foot-in-mouth-ness? I know I am. I nearly imagined her asking Maanik if he have hidden 'some other girl' in his room! 😆

Cabir says that Dhruv should arrive within the next five minutes in order for Mukti to win her stupid bet.

Maanik goes to his room to see Nandini searching for something 'proper' to wear while going outside. He hands her a pair of track pants. She comes out wearing them and I'm STILL wondering how they fit her! Did they somehow magically shrink by sensing a smaller wearer? 😕 Ki farak paenda hai! Maanik checks her out, anyway.

She is ready to leave but he stops her and wraps her face in some cloth! ISSE KEHTE HAIN Maanik Malhotra ka 'sasta, sundar aur tikaw logic'! 🤣 What was the need, really? In case anyone would've seen her, they both would be in trouble with or without her showing her face! And if he wanted to bhagaofy her when no one was watching, then what's the point of covering her face?

He orders her to stand outside the room and wait for his signal. He comes downstairs, keeps looking at her direction then signals her to get inside. Dhruv arrives, Mukti is super happy. Nandini has gone inside. Maanik panics...AGAIN.

Panicked Maanik was sooo funny to watch! 'Dhruv BHI aa gaya' EPIC! 🤣 🤣

Everyone starts downing shot after shot (especially Mukti and Cabir). They all start dancing to 'Saturday Saturday' (koi aur gaana nahi hai kya inke paas?). Maanik looks like a 'abla mard' amid all of them! 😆

Both Mukti and Cabir have passed out. Thankfully, Dhruv and Aalya are still sober enough. Maanik lets the former two stay where they were and all but shoos away the latter two to check on his angel. 😆

Harshad watches a video of NH3's win and talks about 'BIG PLANS' that he has against the Fab 5. He says that he'll make sure that none of them will be able to pick up an instrument! He pauses on Navya's reaction and says that luck wont be with him every time, so he'll use some other technique! 😕

Maanik searches for Nandini throughout his room after receiving her text that she's still in there but couldn't find her. He calls her and hears the phone vibrating from somewhere on the floor. He bends down to see the sleeping beauty sleeping not-so-peacefully underneath his bed! *Niti...Y U SOOO BEAUTIFUL???*

What Maanik could have done- wake her up and send her home. What he ACTUALLY did- called her 'DUMB' at first (like always), then went on to play the majnu that he have become off lately and covers her with his blanket as she was shivering. 🤗

He proceeds to crash on his bed. The clock strikes 1:30, Nandu gets up and sees herself covered with the blanket. She comes out of the place and places the blanket on Maanik himself and I think I DIED of CUTENESS OVERLOAD!

She talks to him while he's asleep and wonders as to why he's so hell-bent on maintaining his 'Monter' image. She leaves after changing into her own clothes, gets a call from her chachi and lies about being dropped home. She wonders as to how she's gonna make it home now when a driver asks her whether he should take out the car for her. At first she thinks he's misunderstood her for Mukti but he confirms that it is for her as Maanik ordered him to drop 'Nandini' home. She smiles to herself before leaving. (Another goner in line? What say? 😉)

Next morning, Maanik wakes up to find himself wrapped in the very blanket. He checks underneath his bed for his angel, first thing (haven't we always checked for 'Monsters' underneath our bed at nighttime since childhood?). He finds a note there which says that his 'secret is safe with her of Monster not being a Monster'. He again calls her dumb for writing notes in the zamaana of mobile phones and throws it away. But the hot n cold majnu that he is again goes to pick it up off the floor and goes into an fb mode of the night that went by. He decides that he should 'stay away from her' (Yeah dude, I've heard that one before). At first he asks HER to stay away from him (without avail) and now he's ordering himself to do the same (this too will be without avail!). 😆

MaNan swap roles of going after the other and it's Nandini's turn to sing 'tera peecha na main chhodungi soneya'. 😆

She goes on and on about all his good deeds. Maanik snaps at her, she says that he never saw HIM smiling for HER, he says he doesn't like smiling. She cutely blackmails him to be nice to her as she knows his secret. He does what he does the best push her towards a wall and threaten her with the same ol 'Fab 5' 🥱.

The chaalu billi counter-attacks him by saying that she's no more afraid of them, she keeps blabbering when Maanik tried shushing her but puts his finger INSIDE HER MOUTH instead of over her lips. (Am I the only one who got all sorts of 'Tharki khayalaat' amid the cuteness with this scene? 😈)

He gets his finger bitten. 😆 She tries leaving after an unsuccessful attempt to soothe his pain but her bag gets stuck near the window and in another attempt to take it out, everything inside tumbles out!

Both of them start picking things up when Maanik's attention is caught with Rishabh's file. He asks her if he's ok and she says that the psychiatrist are unable to cure him so they should rethink of their decision to work together for both Dhruv and Rishabh! 👏

Precap- LOVE IS IN THE AIR...everyone falling left, right and center! 😆

RES I was like this😆
Shellu, what can I say, I love love the progress MaNan shows, and it has been gradual and not sudden, so its easier to believe. The roles have reversed as predicted earlier, Manik "trying" to stay away, key word is trying😆 and Nandu doing the chasing and Nandu is not scared of Manik anymore and actually has him all cornered😆

I am copy/pasting rest from my response to Mais

Manik-Nandini: They bicker, as always but there's so much ease in their relationship. Right from Nandu looking for something to wear in Manik's wardrobe to Manik catching her, its like they have been in this situation before. I loved the parallels of them sleeping, their sleeping positions, Nandu under the bed and Manik over it, they were pretty much in the same position, same place, how adorable was that, like two souls connected...uff... I loved how he placed the duvet on her, he cares and he can't hide it, no matter how much he tries, he gave up his duvet(Gah...Egad!) so that she is comfortable.And her reaction when she wakes up and then covers him with his duvet, how warm and affectionate was her tone. Nandini knows the real Manik and she will never ever give up on him.Heart Loved how she smiled when she realised that Manik had cared enough to ask the driver to drop her back, a far cry from their initial days. Manik's first instinct in the morning was to check on her, his last thought before going to sleep was her. Manik is truly gone, loved how he threw Nandu's cheeky note away and then went to pick it up and recollected all their moments together.I so had predicted that Manik will be the one to stay away and Nandu pursuing him, trying to talk to him and it did come true. I love that Nandu refuses to take him seriously and Manik can do nothing about it. In the battle for love, Manik has lost the war, once and for all.
That finger-biting was so epic, also I felt it was a metaphor that Manik will take on any hurt in the world for her. Epic metaphors for an epic love story.

Fab5: They are amazing friends, and I love love that about them, I want Nandu to become friends with all of them, she is an amazing friend and she deserves amazing friends like them too, in addition to Navya who is pretty nice but too far obsessed with harshad. I love Mukti and Cabir's camaraderie as much as I love Manik and Dhruv's, there is so much ease in it. Even Alya seemed totally comfortable.

Harshad: While all this time, it was Manik he was totally obsessed about destroying, today he stated he wants to ruin the rest too, makes you wonder what kind of hatred this guy has that even his own sister is not going to be spared. Harshad using Navya is going to be so horrible but I guess thats what happens to naive girls with their head in the clouds.

Precap: Looks like its going to be interesting, why do I get the feeling, Manik giving lecture on love is going to make him realise his own predicament.

P.S : Chachi be a big time MaNan shipper, she was so ok with Nandu staying in Manik's house till 12:30 am

What a treat for us today! I am grinning like a fool and my heart is a big ball of mush right now.😆 Will write more later, after I finish watching the episode one more time.
Edit:

I don't even think I can make any sense today.😆
I mean, what an episode! Every passing day I'm falling more in love with MaNan, they are so beautiful. Nandini's tense pouts, Manik's flustered expressions, how adorable were they! The way Manik understands her dilemma about her clothes, and how he takes care of things as little as the blanket, and getting the driver to wait and drop her home! This guy has come so far! The best part was Nandu actually acknowledging his goodness, and she doesn't even shy away from letting him know right away with the note!

If I am not mistaken, today is the first time Manik actually acknowledged that he has 'feelings', although he hasn't really understood them. But the 'danger' alarm has rung in his brain, and his first instinct is to stay away from Nandu, like he would ever be able to do that. 😆She is his magnet and he cannot help coming back to her, one way or the other.

I really love seeing the Fab5 together. As much as I had disliked them in the initial ragging episodes, they have made a way into my heart with time. The writers have done a good job in uncovering their vulnerabilties and insecurities in front of us and in making them relatable. Individually they might not be very strong people, but their friendship is their strength.

Harshad is intriguing me further, I wonder what he has in store for the Fab5 now. I don't like the way he zoomed in and looked at Navya's face in the video.. I hope he doesn't plan on using her as a pawn.

Precap: Navya, Nandini and Harshad discussing love, as well as Dhruv and Manik. I don't want to read too much into it, but a thought struck me today.. since we know Cabir is gay and MaNan are obviously going to be a couple, would there be a Dhruv-Navya angle some time in the future? If yes, I am not sure what I'll feel about it.😕

res😳 Will be back on after my midterm exam 😃
UNRES (gaahh! read your review before my test. Kept blushing through and through!☺️ Organic chemistry! LOL... Talk of chemistry !)

Today's episode was significant as it reiterated quite a few emotions..

Fab 5: Definitely better of the two bands. There is unconditional camaraderie, bigger than any victory or defeat. This gives me hope that they will stick together and survive the impending storms a.k.a Harshad, Nyonika and all their secrets. NH3 might not survive the ordeals but Fab5 definitely will.

Side note: I really thought Fab5 would follow Manik upstairs yet again courtesy Mukti's shakki dialogue. Manik's look to Alya before rushing to his bedroom "Alya, sambhal lena situation and stay put here" 😆 Manik's disbelief and mild annoyance at Dhruv's arrival at the Malhotra mansion as well. Cabir' s secret remains to be revealed. Alya seemed to understand that Manik wanted to be alone.

Harshad: Good to see he is focused on his task (thought for a bit that we lost him after his rendezvous with Navya). Wouldn't want him to be painted as an all- black character because we've seen instances where his actions are honorable. All the more curious to find out what has caused so much agony, torment and hurt that he feels such animosity/ holds a grudge of this intensity for not just Manik but the entire Fab 5 (poor Alya is gonna get hurt too). Like I guessed earlier, Navya is going to be a major cogwheel in his plot/plan to destroy Fab 5. Imminent heartbreaks left, right and center

Manik- Nandu: Today's episode spelled it out.. implicit TRUST! There is a sense of belonging, security and a calmness with these two. So many beautiful instances- she rummaging through his wardrobe (who does that at a stranger's house), she falling asleep in his room without a care for the world, he tending to her needs before his own, she reciprocating and silently acknowledging his goodness, her resolve to talk and thank him, she refusing to take his no's/ empty threats for an answer, she feeling his pain just like he does hers... so beautiful❤️

Like CC pointed out, the finger- biting incident is significant. 👏 I'd also like to think that the duvet- placing incident does signify the sense of security and comfort that they might provide each other in the future. Love metaphors in a love story! Rightly said, CC..


Side note: Manik is in DENIAL mode..* Kitna bhagega Manik? You in too deep. She is just as stubborn as you are! *
"guitar nikalke music bajaaoon tumhare liye?" *We know that you want to serenade her Manik* 😆

"Look at your face. What's there to smile about?" Translation: This very face makes me go weak in my knees. Please leave, I beg/ implore you Nandu, before I lose all my resolve.

"Kuch bhi" cracked me up... 🤣 the word has such different connotations for both of them!

Precap: *blush*
