But see, as frustrating as this is it's needed. I kept saying it during the party drama that there needed to be at least one more round of humiliations and jackassery from RK to drive the point home. But they made a clever strategy of answering those complaining of Madhu's weakness and humiliation. So with this plan of hers to teach a "lesson" I too got caught up and thought perhaps she really is going through with this 'lesson." But before I got caught up, I'd been saying again and again that this "lesson" idea in actuality is VERY, VERY stupid and dangerous. She would be sucked back in. And as it was during the party, she would be sucked back in and would need one more reality check. Not just her but the audience.
And think of the audience. I can point to a few members on the forum itself who finally with RK's behavior at the party, finally acknowledged this was an abusive relationship that Madhu should get out of. Whereas till then, they were still rooting for that couple.
One more reality check, and there can be no more excuses. This reality check addresses two things. One is that it is pretty true to the cycle of women are blinded, think he will change, has changed, and go back. The other part is that they the CVs achieve and break the notion that all will be hunky dory because she forgave him and gave him another chance. Had this not happened, there would still be that question--oh, if only she gave him the chance, if only she forgave him and gave him that chance. Those of us here know she shouldn't. But many who watch would be thinking of all this in some romanticized notions.
The CVs till now, what they've done is play to romantic notions, string it along, and then BAM. Reality hits. That's exactly what they did with the falling in love track and the unmarriage. In between this they did what they had to do to bring up the TRPs with initial marriage, and after that, Kitchen politics. I think till date the Kitchen politics and Saas-Bahu crap got the highest TRPs.😆
My only problem in all of this is that they should not have shown RK threatening Paddy right in front of her. That right there doesn't gel, because at that point, she had not completely fallen into RK's web/charms/whatever you want to call it. She should have had some warning bells. And so she shouldn't have fallen back in so blindly and quickly as she did, completely ignoring her mother.
