Take a bow Erica Fernandes

Today, we found a Sona that let those walls of strength she had built around her, break down. Dev Dixit has no idea what he has done by putting a ring on her finger It's that one moment that women dream of and for Sona to have experienced that with a man who she believes feels nothing for her and is on the verge of being someone else's, is just plain cruel and unfortunate. That exasperation and hurt was wonderfully shown by Erica, as she tugged at the very finger he put the ring on. Such was her frustration and heartbreak, that she continued to imagine that ring on her finger back in her house. After all, the feeling and memory of what she just went through is something that she doesn't want to live with. It's the last thing she wanted. Like life playing a horrible joke on her. Her conversation with Elena was heart-wrenching. You could feel her sadness as she spoke of the incident. And that vulnerability that Erica conveys is so heart touching. She excels in these emotional scenes. I for one was completely moved by Sona's total breakdown. Her crying into the pillow and that anguish as she tucked onto it further for some sort of support. Class acting by Erica.

Dev and his natural care for Sona as he followed her into the kitchen to see if she was hurt was lovely, particularly when he blew onto her finger. Little does he know that he has hurt her somewhere else and that pain is something that is not so easy to take away. The signs are there that Dev feels love for Sona, as he turned around to look at her once again before he left. I just feel that my sympathy and allegiance lies with Sona now because she is going through torture. There is a massive gap between the two - Dev is in realisation phase and Sona is head over heels in love. Bridging that gap is somewhat necessary now. I hope Dev realises very soon he is in love because I feel it's completely unfair that Sona is having to experience this. Dev has a lot of making up to do and Sona thank God has made the wise decision to not attend work.

One of the hardest things for men to do is reveal their feelings. They keep it all inside and expressing themselves can be a problem. Seeing Dev beating around the bush and struggle to ask Neha of how love feels like therefore, was understandable. Throughout the day, he was deep in thoughts and distracted. Having his own sister in love is perfect because she is that source of knowledge from which he can comfortably gain that insight into the experience of being in love. Whilst I don't agree with how and why their sibling relationship is beginning to flourish once again, I am glad it is. I am happy that Dev seeks his sisters when he wants another perspective.

Finally as the episodes go by, Ishwari's insecurities are beginning to surface. Another wonderful performance by Surpriyaji too. Ishwari is struggling to stay positive in the build up to this engagement. She is looking far into the future now and Nikki's words, whilst reflecting the reality of life, were a sting to Ishwari. The expressions by Supriyaji as she tried to display that she was unaffected by having another woman steal her son away, were spot on. I especially liked the fact that this was shown as she folded away Dev's shirts. She even clung onto them towards the end. Having to put a stop to such small things that she takes pleasure in doing for her son will prove difficult for her.

Overall, this episode well and truly belonged to Erica Fernandes. Take a bow girl!

I've made the right decision to finally watch a good show :)
