8th Nov - Guess who?

You're gonna really like this eppy...

...and I mean it this time!

Chor-chor

Eppy begins with the shootout at the bank (is it just my video or are the effects meant to pause and freeze the screen every so often? )

The gunde hold Prerna hostage and take her in a van with him. Mahesh sees this I'm sorry, but why is the whole world fida over Prerna? Bajaj, Anurag, and now these do takke ke gunde? Maybe they're hired by Bajaj to bring her back home, by hook or by crook (it's a joke people )

Mahesh tells Bajaj everything that happened, Bajaj is shocked. I swear, get rid of your Darth Vader uniform, PLEASE!!

Sneha comes in and Bajaj tells her what happened, she too is shocked.

Panchmeshwar news goes national!

Anurag tells Sam that he just saw the bank robbery on TV, and Prerna has been kidnapped. Who the hell would film such a small incident from such a small town? It HAS to be Kay Channel - only Anurag could care about the goings-on of Panchmeshwar

He tells Sam to go there, because he can't.

Kumbh ka Mela...what an original tactic!

Prerna struggles out of the car while the gunde discuss tactics...she runs away. She calls Mahesh, who is standing by with a police man. She tells him she is 3 KM from Panchmeshwar...the police man says "Panchmeshwar Temple 3KM?"...uh dude, no one mentioned a temple

Mahesh tells her they are on their way. Anyway, gunde chase Prerna, she runs blah blah blah...don't care.

Prerna manages to run into a mela full of people, where, after a lot of pointless hide and seek, she bumps into........................................................ .............take a wild guess....................................................... go on.........................................................y ep, you're right..............................................BASANTI!! !!

She's baa-aack!!

Well, not Basanti, exactly. I mean, it's her, but not her, if you know what I mean. She's in proper gau ki chokri libaas, with tikka, nosering and a ghagra choli. I think they even darkened her face...But it's her. Tina, I mean, and the future Mukti. (Guys, I have a gut instinct that this is the real Mukti. I don't know or care how, so just have faith and go with it!)

Prerna is shocked (I'm not; I'm ecstatic!! ) and says Mukti. the girl turns and leaves. The way she does it, like, her facial expressions and her haste really make me think that she IS Mukti, or maybe I am clutching at straws

Safe, but not happy

Sneha and Sam are in P, and ask Prerna if she is ok. Smiley makes some crappy comic "joke" which I missed.

Prerna is lost in her own thoughts, and she tells Mahesh that she saw Mukti. He refuses to believe her. OMG!! I am getting some kind of shak on Sam from the way she is behaving today (first, when Anu tells her about the kidnapping, she seems hardly concerned at all; and then, when Prerna says she met Mukti, Sam's reaction...I can't explain it, just watch.) Maybe I'm totally wrong here, but what if Mukti knew that someone wanted to kill her/Prem - MAYBE Sam - and thats why the concocted a naatak? I mean, it wouldn't be the first time in an Ekta serial - Parvati and Swati Dixit anyone?

Anyway, they don't believe her and put it down to her stress. Mahesh tries to talk to her about Bajaj, but she leaves.

Prerna's search

Prerna goes back to the mela with Mukti's pic and asks people if they have seen her. Mahesh tries to dissuade her, but she is adamant.

Jai-Veeru ki jai ho!!

Anu and Bajaj meet at a bar. Chalo, shukar hai their relationship is now open, at least they can meet in public places without fear of Prerna finding out

First Anu ignores him, but Bajaj calls him over to ask whether he too will break his relation with him see, what did I tell ya? btw, in case you hadn't realised, he's drunk

Anu sits and they both drink to high heaven - discussing their failures and mistakes regarding Prerna. A true case of male bonding

I swear, any minute they'll break out into "Yeh "dostiii"...hum nahiiiiin todenge..."

How funny is it - these two men were at loggerheads because of Prerna, and now that Prerna is not there, they are the best of friends!! Wonder what Prerna will think of this new development?

Prerna's search continued

Prerna and Mahesh are still searching fruitlessly, and those gunde (didn't the police arrest them already?) see Prerna. They leave quickly. Prem is sitting on a bench, looking hot, carrying that stupid dupatta. She thinks that the very face that turned him into stone will bring him back to life. This is her belief, not hope.

Finally, she meets Mukti-alike, and stops her. She calls out "Mukti", and Mahesh too sees her and is shocked.

End.

OK, so this girl is DEFINITELY Mukti. Why?

1. Firstly, of all the places in the world, the Mukti-alike will be in P? Why? Because Mukti knows that is the ONE place that Prerna will always go to.
2. My concerns about Sam, as of today - read above
3. My gut instinct
4. If it isn't Mukti, I'll kill Ekta

So there you have it, FINALLY a decent eppy...and you know, tomorrow, we may get to see a PM scene. No matter who this girl is or what her name is, this will ALWAYS be PM, and at least we will get to see Manoj-Tina chem again, which is something that I have cried over for the past month.

Here's to tomorrow's eppy!!

That's all folks!
