Completely agree with you. Ram is too great of an actor to just have him (expression only) his disgust and anger for Pia and his sadness for Bani.
The old Jai Walia we knew would definitely have made sure he spoke to Bani and by now sent Pia to timbaktu. Ekta is underestimating our intelligence on the forum and think that we are gullible.
There are so many avenues to explore in KS, so she need not worry about timeline as the posssibilities are unlimited. Instead of Bani in 'crying' mode all the time, and Jai in a sitting on the fence mode all the time, she can turn the tables and let their character be strong, striking back at Pia, Sahil, Tarun and the rest of the gang.
What I find in her serials, is that she allows men to have the greatest of power, but then breaks them down to a mouse when problems arises. That is not fair to the men, especiall someone like Ram who has tremedious talent and is yet to be displayed
