Today's episode was an absolute pleasure to watch😃, and the last few moments pre-precap had me going into actual LOL mode with Maddy going into apparent kamikaze rather than accept help from her antagonist. 😆
*Then*, I read your analysis and had a coughing fit from giggles.😆 Hilarious in the best way possible, Poco. Thank you for, as always, grabbing the pulse and the beat of the ep so damn flawlessly.😃👏👏👏
On a serious note, I was hugely relieved when Rishabh's reaction to the wishy-washy Radha's rant was pure fury. 😡
His going to Maddy's room too seems to have been in that vein. It looked like he intended not an apology but to sunaao Maddy for being the reason Radha said what she did. I was glad it didn't look an apology in reaction to Radha, because whatever atonement and redemption he may choose when the Rishbala love story truly hits its stride, I want it to be his own heart's prompting.
*Not* the goading of a mother who never even truly worried or understood that her son had almost died thanks to her husband's supplies.🤢 And it was in front of Radha that Kukku Bhatia pressed the 500-rupee rote into Maddy's wounded hand so hard that she winced.
This is not a mother whose chiding or berating any child should take to heart. By her own weaknesses and self-delusion, she has rendered even deserved criticism worthless to Rishabh if she is the one administering it.
What Radha said today about Rishabh's father was right on the mark, but I don't want her to get even an iota of credit for Rishabh's future heel-face-turn. That credit should be entirely Rishabh's and Maddy's.😊
I loved Paddy's return of sense and the argument she presented to Mallick, though I was little bit disappointed that he needed to hear such an argument to understand Maddy's decision.
Liked the way it was implied that the security guard had known Maddy before her marriage to RK. It's of course assured that she knows many of the fraternity, but we never really know who.
And then, the bridge scene. I went from sympathetic terror for Maddy's struggle😲 (and wondering if the articles' saying she would be unconscious was going to happen through electric shock) to relief when Rishabh placed his hand on her' to absolute mirth when she went from struggling to live to pseudo-fighting-to plunge-to-death.😆
And the precap - Rishbala, and 'Bas haq hai mera'. Perfect. Almost a whole day to go to the next ep, though.
I hope for the TRP's sake that the 'Madhubala' powers-that-be use Friday eps only as fillers to connect Thursday and Monday, and fit all the really great stuff into the Monday to Thursday eps. Trying to raise the average TRP by focussing on these four days may have a better chance than battling KBC on Fridays.
Again, thanks a ton for the analysis⭐️, and waiting eagerly to see your take on tomorrow's ep.😃
