Dear Darlyne,
That, unfortunately, is the way it works, whether in the Mahabharata or in PR. The good are foolish or incompetent or both, while the wicked are always on top of their game and mostly manage to sidestep obstacles, almost till the very end.
Take yesterday's episode. Archana comes marching defiantly into the house pulling Teju and Ovi along, one in each hand.She looked as aggressive as a Durga, and I thought she was going to continue from where she left off in the last but one episode, where she had run rings around Savita.
But what happened once the fur started to fly? She lost the upper hand completely, and could never regain it.
She had also crippled herself long before by enacting that ugly scene at Punni's saakarpuda, and so she could not deny Savita's shrill accusations that she was getting a divorce to squeeze as much money as possible out of Manav. Having done this terminally stupid golddigger act for the sake of Sachin, she cannot now explain away her actions at all.
Savita goes one further in exploiting this weakness of Archana's and delivers the clinching blow, attributing all of Archana's love and kindness for her daughters to a plan to bring them close to her and the blackmail Manav emotionally to try and increase the pay off to her at the divorce. It is a very clever argument,for the only way Archana can refute it would be for her to refuse any alimony or other payment from Manav and also expose Sachin. This she will not do. So she has boxed herself into a cul de sac, and there no escape for her.
The way in which she handled the showdown yesterday was typically ineffective. She should have taken the two to Sulochana's place, which is where Teju would have gone in any case, sat them down, and explained the whole to them in a credible and convincing way. Instead, she fights on the enemy's territory - the worst of all options - and also seems to have had no plan of action at all. The result was a foregone conclusion.
It was curiously reminiscent of the shrill showdown that Purvi had with Arjun in the office late one evening. She comes there after having agreed to talk things over with him, but instead shouts him down and does not let him get a word in edgeways. At that time, I had been surprised that such a successful businessman appeared to have made no preparation for what was perhaps the most important meeting of his life. He mumbles and bleats and does not manage to state even a fraction of his case.
Archana yesterday was exactly the same. A good match this - a saas and damaad, both equally ineffective and incapable where it matters the most!

Yes, I also believe what goes around comes around, but in PR it is only working for some nice people. Savita never get a chance to experience what goes around comes around. Why evil people are exception to receive this comes around????
