Avni confesses her feelings to Neil well sort of, Neil is seeing the importance he holds in her life and how shaken she is at the thought of something happening to him. I can't blame him for wanting to hear it from her when she is in her senses though, who wouldn't?
Neil never misses a chance to tease Avni, he told her she had a drinking problem 😆
Ali, my respect for his character went up a lot in this episode. Ali loves Avni and it hurts to see her belong to someone else but the way he has stepped back and accepted Neil's place in her life is so impressive. The CVs could have easily destroyed his character but instead they showed a friend can stay loyal, it does not always have to be a case of friend turned psycho lover. Kudos to CVs here!
Avni places Neil under arrest! I loved this scene so much, Avni took charge and went into caring wifey mode because Neil was not taking care of himself. There was a minor interruption with Bebe and Neela but I don't get irritated by that maybe because they are two of the biggest AvNeil shippers there is on the show. Neela and Bebe did not kill the mood at all infact things got even better after they left. The way Neil looks at Avni telling her he now knows she likes when he stares at her, she tried to deny it but you could see a tiny smile on her face that Neil could see. The baby steps are working with Avni, her feelings for Neil are becoming more evident to him.
I feel bad for Ali he is being set up but thankfully Neil is not your typical male lead. Neil has been written sensible and logical. I look forward to him proving Ali's innocence and keeping Avni safe since he now knows she is in danger. Neil was smart enough to know Raghu Pandit had a role in this and hopefully with Ali knowing of DM's involvement that means her days are numbered too. Overall an episode to love even with the editing of the hand kiss, had we not known about it I think fans would have found this to be a flawless episode.
