FQ took a break from the saffron wave sweeping the telly but she was unable to save herself from residual splatter...
St mangos
Peeps are still chanting morya like no tomorrow. Geez, get a grip: the navratri start from tomorrow, and you're still stuck in the religious fever of a bygone festival. At least be au fait with the latest in religious fundamentalism!
And then, at long last, the doctors are called in, because, by public demand, RK has returned from the dead! But his heart is not pumping blood or anything because the wound looks surprisingly dry. He is a superstar, his heart doesn't pump blood like mere mortals.
Doctors throw everyone out. Thank goodness, because the bad acting was making VD smile and all. Not to mention the ketchup spill on his nipple was giving him a dreadful yearning for some french fries.
And then suddenly Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska and Minnesota had a huge economic crisis because all the corn just got shipped to MB verse. Specifically to Rk's room. More specifically to RK's holding of Madhu's hand and not letting go. madhu emotes, and tries very hard not to make RK let go. Sly puss. Bittu and Deeplali die of jealousy. The doctor allows Madhu to stay because apart from being superwoman, she is also a germicide. Who knew?
At last the worst hospital scene ever filmed ends. RK lets go, and Madhu places his hand reluctantly on the bed.
Outside, in the corridor of uncertainty.
Saddoji goes full on Nirupa roy and proclaims Madhu to be a goddess. Pads has had time to replenish her lippy. She's still holding out hope re hot son in law.
Madhu acts all modest and gives the credit to Mr GP Bappa. Bittu ji also gives his thanks to babhi ji, saying that he would have died had anything happened to his chief. That phrasing is so awkward, I'm just going to let it go. But well done PH for promoting some good old hoyay. I hate when things are glibly heteronormative.
We are not spared shots of jealous Vampy vamp of Vampshire gritting her teeth. I think they should just take some stock footage of Seema's ( just like they have shot the full moon as a metonym for night time-- subliminal clue that here lies madness?) face in different outfits and send her on vacation to the giant Sephora in Singapore. Everyone will be happy, as they never show her with any other expression other than jealous vamp anyway.
A wild Doctor appears. This one wearing a full-on crazy moustache and reassures everyone that what they have witnessed IS a miracle and Madhu should be immediately canonised. Oops devified. The former might offend the Thakeray brigade. He also says RK is to kept in an 'underobservation' ( under observation mein). Which I guess is a sort of a darkened, unhygeinic, completely insecure room as we find out in the precap. I'm not so good with medical jargon, you see.
Also the police arrive (another fine example of assorted moustachios) and say that Sultan's name has been misappropriated! He, i.e Sultan, was not even aware of the threats being issued in his name. That's some v irresponsible donning if you ask me!
Before we leave st Mangos, let me just say that as Madhu embraces her MIL, she gives a sly shy smile of a cat who got the cream. Or a wife who got to touch her hot nekkid husband all over. And when said husband wasn't wearing a ring that proclaimed him as another woman's. ( makeup, next time make sure the mark of the ring doesn't show.)

Bad pottery has taken over Pad's house like a monsoonal rash. Malik paces. He is worried. Enter Pads, and gives him a sultry, come hither look. The minx.
She walks right by and lights a dia to Mr GPM. Then she tells Malik that her new mascara is waterproof and really extends, thickens and separates! Or she should have because what she does do is to recount the entire episode we have just seen. In the past 15 minutes. The editor and director really must stop inflicting themselves on the public till they cure this short term memory loss problem. Which they no doubt believe afflicts the entire world.
Malik, who is being a stooge for the writers' unerring instinct for bad suspense, has to act dour and ungentlemanly and waspish. He says he wished he died on his hospital bed and wonders what it is it about RK that his daughter went barefoot to Siddhivinayak. Hello, my dear! We know you're a man and all, but have you seen the man? Well? QED!
Kuku and Sikki confront their hired hitman who did his job too well. And so the least surprising plot twist of all time is revealed. And then Sikki makes a remark about the shooter learning his trade from Muhammad Nishanebaji centre. I gawped. I am pretty certain that is a remark calculated to hurt sentiments. No cool. And not even funny.( k, some people posit that might be mohhabat, but that don't make it better. Taking love hurts too literally, me thinks!)
We learn somebody else entirely got happy shooting, while Kukku's marksman was busy delievring dramatic lines.
Precap
Some woman in ugly shoes enters Underobservation to tie some sort of sacred blessing thread around Rk's neck and is surprised by Babhi and Bittu ki detective jodi. I think we are meant to think that she is there to kill him. How quaint! Kids, do remember to act surprised when this is not the case.
