* little thing: seriously, they should stop starting episodes with vitchface and the shrimp (veera and maya, for those who didn't know).
and that too, vitchface and the shrimp complaining about heer... and talking about how black magic has been done on gayatri-mom. stooopid people. don't they know that it's not heer that does black (voodoo) magic on gayatri-mom? it's prem who does voodoo magic on us! stooooopid vitchface and shrimp... 😛
* little thing: but seriously, gayatri-mom seems to have .. a problem. or she's getting very good at ignoring the vitchface-and-shrimp conversations as background noise.
did she or did she not overhear their confusion about what she's doing? or how they were cursing heer? or maya's taunts that vitchface has no money while her father does? did she??
* little thing: wasn't it interesting how she told vitchface and shrimp to clean up the shelves '''cause i really don't like dirt in my life?'' didn't anyone else think that was a veiled hint to both of them to clean up their act??
* little thing: it was just as interesting that she kept harping on ''old things'' -- old things that had to be thrown out, old books, old times, old ways of behaviour, old ways of conduct.
and since they rubbed gayatri throwing out the ramayan in our faces, it reminded me of something that hope said in yesterday's bt,lt -- that we were now out of the ramayan with prem-heer as ram-sita, and into the mahabharat.
and all i could think of was: oooh, really? y'mean we'll never have to see ratpal ever again??!!! no more ravan?! yipppeeeee!!! 😆
* little thing: but i must admit -- i was actually most puzzled by her ''when brothers don't remain brothers; or blood doesn't remain true, then stories change.''
'cause it is now that the brothers in this story are the strongest together! and the maan blood is together. then... uh... doesn't the story stay even more true than before? the only thing that has changed is that vitchface is totally against everyone else and only for herself. and maybe even that is the same as before. but i guess gayatri-mom is only realising that now?
*sigh* i really think that gayatri-mom -- singing her ''times they are a-chaaangin'!'' song -- is out to teach a lesson. to all those in the story who are against her and hers. upto now, she was content to let her children fight the battles while she ... um ... slept (vegetated?). now she will take up the battle and fight for them too. and yes, that's for all five of her children -- out of which prem is one.
* little thing: and in the five children, i guess we are gonna be forced to add vitchface.
'cause didja notice? -- there was a telling little slip-of-the-tongue moment by the shrimp - where she was badmouthing gayatri-mom - and vitchface actually got offended for one microsecond? gaaah! i can't believe that was to show us that vitchface actually has a good heart under those layers and layers and layers and layers and .. *hitting myself on the upside of my head to make me stop* .. layers of evil and poop. *sigh* i'm sooooo not gonna enjoy it when they force us to accept that vitchface has a 🤢 good heart. i'm not! 😡
* prem-heer-die-of-sweetness thing: i've said this before, and i'm saying it again -- i can take a lot of poop on this show as long asthey back it up with some.. any! ... prem-heer sweetness.
man! did they make good on the prem-heer sweetness (phweetnephph??🤣 ) today! i sooooo loved prem coming to heer, in all gentle humility and saying: i've kept all your things in the cupboard, is there anything else you wish? ''bandha haazir hai''. 🤣 prem! you sweetheart!!! everything else -- about heer being malkin and him being humble slave -- was too over-the-top to take seriously from prem to heer, of course. but for that one phrase? -- i could've kisse.. um ... patted him gently on his lovely head for. 😆
omg. how sweetly he pulled heer's leg! and how sweetly she got uncomfortable with the whole idea of her being the master and the lord-and-master-of-her-heart being her slave! oh heer. me? i was hooting for her to go with the flow and order him to sweep her into his arms and kiphph the heck out of her. but *sigh* that's just me, i guess. 'cause she didn't do any such thing.
in phact, it was the other way around -- who ever saw ''his malkin's slave'' grab the malkin's by her arms and yank her down to sit on the bed??! 🤣 prem!!! what kind of bully slave are you??! 😆 but oh, how sweetly he covered her mouth to stop her from her worried babbling...

prem...!! 😍
* little thing: so who else fell off the couch laughing when prem said ''crorepati patni ka eklauta pati''!!!! 🤣
er... exactly how many pati's does prem think crorepati patnis are supposed to keep??!!! does he not know polyandry is illegal in india????! 🤣🤣🤣
* hc thing: another one of those fall-off-the-couch moments for me. at one point while he was singing that song, hhprem threatened to take over prem! that was hhprem singing that song -- not prem!!🤣and i think hc realised it 'cause at the end of the first line, he quickly brought the volume down from hhprem levels to prem levels. but that catch by hc just in time sooo made me giggle madly. 😆
* prem-heer thing: and of course, after that, nothing made me giggle madly 'cause i was a pile of goop watching those two heads nestle against each other above the pillows, those two shoulders snuggling against each other, two bumps under the blanket resting companionably against each other...
and the pile of goop that i was, i thought that nothing could move me... but when prem's voice huskily asked heer whether he could turn off the lights, his eyes intent on loving her face under the shadow of those long eyelashes, probably also seeing her eyes adoring his face back - and they forced you realise that what he was actually asking was ''can i kiss you, heer of my heart?'' just like they forced you to realise that what heer was telling him was ''can you kiss me, prem of my heart?'' right back at him... 😍

* little thing: ooooh! has anyone ever thought that one of the reasons that gayatri-mom's doing all this is 'cause she is .. um .. terminally ill? and is hiding it from everyone? that she is trying to set things right before she .. ''has to leave''?
that feeling was sooo reinforced when she was wondering why people grow old..
* little thing: another reason that i think gayatri-mom is totally faking being against heer -- the little smile on her face when lalit juneja tells her it's a good thing that she has handed over allresponsibility to heer.
hey! when you're hopelessly hopeful, every little positive sign matters, y'know! 😆
* little thing: but the more telling thing. lalit juneja tells gayatri that the children will take care of each other. and gayatri-mom says -- but who will take care of ''them''? that she will take care of ''them'' -- after all, they are her own children.
who else soooo thought that ''them'' for gayatri was prem-heer? no? 😃😃
* little thing: oooooh! prem says he will do it as soon as he reaches office at 10. and realises that it's already 10... wonder what kept him late this morning? ooooooh!!!
* little thing: it's for certain! one of the things that prem has retained from his hhprem days -- the ability to totally and shamelessly fake things!!
man, was he faking being stressed about work! and gayatri is just like him! like mother, like son! she knows he's faking it, she is faking it! she hears him growing louder and louder, and she matches him growing louder and louder. awwwwww.... so cute!
* little thing: heer saying that ''going to the hotel is like taking an exam in school!'' heer!!! 🤣
* prem thing: o. m. g. he helps her out of the car. she is still stressed. and how does he calm her down? a hand that goes to her back and pulls her more firmly against him!


* phhandoooooooooooh thing!: ooooh, oooh, oooh!!! phhandoooh! a never before seen kinda phhandooh! a gentleman walking with a gentlelady phhandooooooooh -- and they aren't even english, but they do it pherphectly!!!!! 😍 seee...?!!!

can i die of happiness now??!! *khushi!!!!!! caaaaaaappsssss!!!!!! 😆 oooh! found 'em! here!*
* little thing: i liked how they linked prem-heer today with the prem-heer of the past. one of my most favourite parts of the show was boss-prem-and-serving-girl-heer. they used to be all eyes and zero other conversation then -- and they used to be sooooo open about each other then. both to each other and to us!
now? they have vocal conversation along with all their eye conversations. and i still love them 'cause now they have so many smiles! earlier, for all that they looked at each other, they would never once actually openly smile at each other. but now? now! the smiles they shared in the hotel! like now they know. and everyone in the world knows. and.... can life be any better? 😍
* big thing: so did anyone else notice how gayatri did not invite the shrimp (maya) to accompany her and vitchface to the lawyer??!
i thought that was quite a big thing. i mean! here is the shrimp, constant companion to her beloved daughter, vitchface. and gayatri deliberately ignores her? actually, worse! she gives her orders to prepare dinner! -- that too, together with meher!!?? omg! no wonder the shrimp was steaming red in the face after that! promising to cut the entire house as revenge!
ha! shrimp! i told you -- better people than you have tried to bring prem-heer down! you're gonna have to work harder to get that. and while prem-heer are 'round, you have your work cut out for you to destroy the junejas too! 😛😛😛
highlight of the episode: oh! what to choose? what to choose?? the gentleman-lady-walking phhandooooooh! 😍 prem's ''bandha haazir ho'' 😆 prem's voice asking heer whether he can put off the lights, while all the while prem's eyes asking heer's if he can kiphph her... and heer's eyes are asking him whether he can kiphph her too!! ☺️☺️☺️ and oh, of course -- all those smiles... *sigh*
