The highlight of the episode that was no one can dispute was Soha calling out Mr. Dixit, Papa. The confession and revelation background score playing was perfect for the moment as well.
One thing I loved about the sequence was the use of symbolisms in injuries sustained. Both, Dev and Sonakshi injured themselves on their one foot signifying that both of there grounds are shaky currently.
Dev, with him stumbling through the pain of Sonakshi's separation and the realization that his mother wasn't a goddess but a flawed human being with insecurities.
Sona, has been playing juggling on one leg in past seven years with her mountain of responsibilities and a child to bring up by being a parent and a friend.
Both are finding healing with a crutch they had lost seven years ago. Each other and a manifestation of there love in Soha.
The injury while appearing to be a minor scratch was actually much deeper. Dev's blood was oozing out reflecting him wearing his emotions on his sleeve still while Sona's sprain was more of an internal injury reflecting on her ability to mask perfection even when she is completely shattered from the inside. Both have unwillingly recognized that in each other as well because of which the bitterness and anger hovering over there emotions has faded quite a bit. It's going to be more challenging for Sona hereon forth since she won't reveal the amount of pain bothering her until probed by someone she trusts fully. -and it won't be Bijoy.
Dev's inclusion as Papa in Soha's life is allowing her to experience freedom and liberation in a disciplined lifestyle her mother has created for her. I can't blame Sonakshi for molding Soha after herself in those regards. You can't be playing with a child when you have to stick to a time table. With two parents, it's easier to juggle the role of good cop, bad cop then being a single parent.
I liked how Golu took the trophy from the teacher to hand it to Dev. The kid might be young and but his BigCha isn't just a father like figure for him but also a best friend.
I am curious at his reaction when he finds out that instead of BigChi coming to live with them, BigCha would have to go to Soha. Dev's vacuum in Dixit household has been used by Vicky and GKB multiple times for there own benefit. Weather RR would try to exploit Golu is something I expect might happen even if Golu's love and admiration for his BigCha conquers all.
As for Soha, I hope to see her seeking to be pampered by her father the way she doesn't allow Bijoy or Jotin to pamper her (picking up in arms etc.). Dev also calls Suhana, Suhana instead of Soha while Golu has recently started calling her Soha. It would be great to get a moment where Suhana requests Dev to call her Soha.
edited to add;
I absolutely loved Soha being stubborn. Since day one Soha has been pampered by Boses even though they treat her like a individual. Something thats not imaginable in desi society. She calls her grandmother by her name, imposes her own rules on how people should treat her by imitating her mother and probably does pull pranks despite not lying to people around her (when Sonakshi called her out when she saw Golu ke BigCha). Both her parents are business owners and she was quick to recognize the leverage she has with both of her parents willing to provide her anything not just because they care for her but also because both WANT to live with her as well.
Funny how Vicky's probing to Dev always landed him in more trouble whereas his son's push to Soha is going to make her parents confront there past and untangle there complaints.
