Copying what I wrote in a different thread here:
(I’ve already watched the episode twice 🤣)

That was such a great episode .. just everything. 👏🏽 We all needed this.
I was also weirded out that she slept with the bangles but it was done so Raghav would be the one to take them off so I got over it. That was still satisfying to watch especially bc Pallavi didn’t even care or pay attention it.
Mandar tries and will keep trying to reach Pallavi but Pallavi won’t budge. There’s no way he can truly separate them. Even with all the spoilers we got about his shenanigans - it’s clear Raghav will always fight for Pallavi and Pallavi will always come back to him.
Her speech to Raghav, it was hard to listen to bc you can’t fault her thinking. But we can all see Raghav and his hurt more than she can right now. She truly is so pure at heart. She’s not just doing this for her parents , Mandar but also for her and Raghav. The sooner Mandar goes back to himself, she can finally wash her hands of him and close that door , bolt it, and throw away the key.
I needed to hear that just to gage where her head was at. And Raghav, he understands her so well. He can’t fault her for thinking the way she is but it cuts him up inside.
I wish he showed her the text message. That’s proof right there. Solid proof that he didn’t have before. But I am more firm in my thought that part of him wants to get rid of Mandar quietly. I don’t think he wants to disappoint Pallavi, or even Aayi by bringing everything out in the open. But his hesitancy in doing so will make it worse before it gets better. Mandar won’t go quietly.
The dressing scene. Perfection. The doori scene 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽The jewelry 👌🏽. The mehndhi. 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 What a symbolic scene for them both. Pallavi was so touched. I wish it was in even more slow mo (more sensual 😏😏😏😏) but I’ll take it bc it’s the daytime lol.
Everything Mandar does, Raghav will retaliate and his retaliations are just making Pallavi fall more and more in love with him. Mandar too tunnel visioned to see any of this - even with Keerti and Sunny on his side, he won’t win. Aayi will take them all down if she has to. (Amma too but well… lol oh Amma 😂)
Like his actual purpose on the show, everything Mandar does will only serve to bring Raghvi closer.
Strap in folks, it’ll be a while before we get out of this mess but it’s ok, CVs know how to come in clutch when we need it most. Anything is better than misunderstandings ✊🏽
