Skillfully written or thought-provoking stories and scenes

I thought it would be fun to list whatever we found skillfully written or thought-provoking since the beginning of Mehndi Hai Rachnewali. It can be a story across episodes, or just a brief glimpse within a scene.

Of course, by the forum rules, you can post something negative or disagree with what someone else finds positive, but I will appreciate it if you balance that by saying something positive yourself.

So, I'll start:

1. I thought the writers wrote good dialogues for Sharada and Vijay to illustrate two points of view - a mother who puts her daughter's happiness first versus a father who worries about his daughter making decisions that society will judge. Eventually, Vijay and Sharada both felt betrayed by Pallavi: she wouldn't let Vijay know her decisions about the shop, and she wouldn't let Sharada rescue her from Raghav. It takes skill to create such parallels.
   
2. When the reporters confronted Raghav and Jaya about the obscene photographs, it was supposed to be a frightful scene (bhayānaka rasa), but the reporters' out-of-this-world questions made it satirical (hāsya rasa). Naturally, this blend detracted from the dramatic impact, but in spite of that I appreciated the writers' presentation of a gender reversal. Imagine if society, looking at photographs of a naked man and woman aged twentysomething, didn't assume that the woman is cheap and the man couldn't help himself, and instead saw the woman as a victimized "girl" and asked the man, "How many other girls have you seduced and betrayed? Did your mother raise you to have no respect for women? Was your father promiscuous too?" It was effective satire.
   
3. I also think that the writers thoughtfully handled Amruta's family's reaction to her abortion, other than Sulochana and Sharada. No one else said that Amruta's unplanned pregnancy proved her to be a bad girl, or tried to take away her freedom, or asked about her sexual history. Amruta's father and uncle only wanted to help her. Even Pallavi said that Amruta's desires are natural, and Amruta, saying that it's her body, her life, got the last word. So, after presenting how bystanders should not react to abortion (activists and gossips going for Pallavi in the street), the story presented how a caring family should react.
   

Your turn now - what writing did you find skillful or thought-provoking?
