No offense to your opinion, but I think the problem is difference of perception. Most people who are discussing Megha and her matchmaking are bothered with the character distortion. The precap on the other hand would bother anyone who doesn't want trouble in the paradise.
I mean technically, the three points you listed - what do they indicate. A showdown, right? So we all know that's coming. They're adding details and nuances to it every day, sort of building up to a climax - which we cannot predict about being well implemented or not - but the point is, there's nothing out of line in showing a build up to a high climax. For me personally, as a viewer, these are the rare moments where something is actually happening on the show. I'm not particularly keen about a big blown showdown, because there is a 50% probability it will herald family melodrama. There is also an equal possibility that the showdown will actually lead to consequences, likely drastic, which finally propel the story from this stalemate of over a week into some motion.
As for Megha. Lesser said, the better. The character distortion - and yes, it's even worse for Rashmi except I don't care so much about her changing colors with her clothes - but with respect to the female lead, it is bothering. How do you even explain a character like Megha being a "weel-wisher" for Mohan and trying to get her back with a woman like Rashmi who finds it so easy to ditch whoever she is with wherever to seek out the "deceptive greener pastures" she doesn't have at that point? The fact that Megha is actually shown feeling well and moved by Rashmi's oh please spare me sentimental nonsense just stands in contradiction of sensibility at large. So this woman has not bothered looking back at Mohan in years. On her abrupt reappearance, she takes digs at him to the extent that it compels the friend in Megha to pull off a daring act in his defense. And now this same friend is so touched by Rashmi's lingering love strains for Mohan? Really? What kind of Yash Raj movie does she suppose she is scripting between Mohan and Rashmi?!
So to make my point - I personally think the aberration in Megha's character is more about looking at the big picture. She is the female protagonist of the show - and she is the one who is going to go long term, not Rashmi. Whatever chaos Rashmi, and the showdown will cause - however bombastic in it's duration - it is only an incident in the passing, and Rashmi and all the trouble she brings along just a passing phase. Speaking for myself, Megha is the bigger problem. The match making may seem just like a passing fancy on her part as a woman who holds relationships to that esteem - to me, it is a crack in the making of her character, something that defies the kind of understanding of fidelity and stability of relations you expect from a person like her. She may be, and is, naive in the wicked ways of the world - but that she cannot see through the superficiality and shallowness of Rashmi's love claims - wow. When she was doing great, pretty perceptive of the same less than a week ago. Not saying it's a problem with no fix - doesn't mean it won't bother me at this point!
