I am glad Lovely is back. Babita and Minnie need closure on many aspects of their life, and having it out with Lovely will help them get rid of some of the latent frustration and pain they have felt over the years. They are no longer restricted by the bonds of marriage and will finally be able to act upon it I feel.
In the process, I also think they will understand why Lovely behaves the way she does, how Sukhi and her childlessness and previous financial status hurt her self-esteem, so that she took it out on mother-daughter. I am hoping they will have a throwback to the scene where she was being mean to Meeta and when Beeji and she had a heart-to-heart regarding her feeling incomplete as a woman and putting up with society's taunts because she couldn't have children. Not to mention, living with her parents even after marriage must have given the neighbors and relatives plenty to taunt her about.
Lovely is representative of a lot of women who deal with insecurities and low self-esteem by putting others down as a defense mechanism. I am not saying they should forget what she did or pretend as if nothing happened, but understanding Lovely's perspective will definitely ease some of mother-daughter's hurt. I know I sound like I am expecting a lot from CVs in tackling this issue in this manner but they have spoiled me with the sensitivity they have shown with various characters so far.
