Who's doing whom a favour? 01/09

Episode starts with Mukti attempting to jump and Harshad reaching JUST IN TIME to save her life (and soul). The poor broken girl shouts and accuses him for leaving her because of Fab 5! 😭

Harshad hugs her tight to calm her down. She says she wants Fab 5 back. Hats off to Charlie for pulling this off after a rather dismal start 👏

Everyone, except Dhruv gather to console/scold her for what she was about to do! Somehow Ayaz's performance is just not coming up to the level.

So Nandini's chacha-chachi are back. I really like these two people. Nandini wonders how was she supposed to break the expulsion news. Comes up with a pathetic excuse to not go to college. Chaachi refrains her to do so.

For a change, it was Abhishek who owned the episode tonight!! 👏

He is the kind of character who'll just keep you guessing about himself and Abhishek is playing it to perfection just like Parth is playing his role! 👏

Harshad takes the mike and requests S.P.A.C.E students to come up and sign the petition. My faith in S.P.A.C.E students restored to some degree after one of the guys commented on how they should be doing something 'worthwhile'. 😃

Fab 4 see this, Maanik glares at Harshad (as usual), Mukti looks on sadly and Cabir-the cartoon takes his picture. 🤢 At times this guy just makes me want to smack his stupid face!

And what is with CV's busy on 'decorating' only Maanik and Harshad? Dhruv is ALWAYS wearing a jumper and Cabir is ALWAYS in those stupid gangees which makes him look bloated!

Also the sound-editing team needs some serious work done. There's just sooo much bg noise in some of the scenes, it's really tough trying to comprehend the lines spoken by the actors. Especially when it comes to Parth and Charlie as the former has a deep voice and the latter talks in a speedy manner. 😕

Fab 4 meet up. Aalya has bought them a cake which she's only interested to feed Maanik. Mukti apologizes for her behaviour. Maanik the disinterested bursts out by letting out his hurt and anger colour his words wondering aloud that 'how could Dhruv think so lowly of him?'

I was wrong in judging Mukti's intellect in the past. It seems now that she's the only one using it 😃

Nandini comes to meet Navya and tell her how she's planned her life ahead by getting admission in a science college, getting a part-time job and sorting her life out. Nandini sure is turning out to be more respectable each passing day. 👏

Maanik goes on a mission to talk to Dhruv 😆

The junglee witnesses the 'behenji' duo having a word and IMMEDIATELY concludes that she knows where Dhruv might be! 😡Can you get any more D.U.M.B?? 😡 😡

The Madman that he is, he follows Nandu LIKE ALWAYS! 🤪

Poor thing Nandu, Dil hain kahipar baithi hain kahipar...na ghar mein kahi chaen na bahar kahipar' 😭

Mukti concludes that Harshad was right, Fab 5 shouldn't keep secrets from EACH OTHER. Aalya goes pale. Cabir promises to tell them everything once the two dhakkans arrive! 😉

Mukti wonders who could it be who wants to break Fab 5 indirectly. Even she questioned Maanik if it was actually HIM. Kya image bana rakhi hain apni! Aalya immediately chips in saying it could no one else but Nandini. Mukti dismisses her. Good going gal! ⭐️ 👏

Madman/Monster Maanik ONCE AGAIN proves whatta MORON he is by catching hold of Nandu and even having the nerve of questioning her whether she has invited him over coffee! 😡

DUDE, CAN YOU LIVE FOR ONE DAY WITHOUT TOUCHING' HER??? My guess is 'NO'. 'Choonewaalon ko choone ka bahaana chahiye!!' 🤢

The manager comes in and misunderstands It as a scuffle between two lovers. Nandu shocks both me and Maanik by grabbing his arm and stating 'No ma'am we love each other' The look on Maanik's face was PRICELESS!!! 🤣 🤣

Harshad, on the other hand manipulates the horse-faced lady for taking Nandu back. For the first time we got a glimpse of his soft corner for Mukti (or it could be Aalya, no idea). This is why I said 'he keeps you guessing.' 😉 ⭐️

He convinces her that it will be beneficial for HER as Nandini is the only girl who'll make sure Maanik is always messing up and that way he'll always owe her something or the other. That's SOME friend Nandini's got! Beauty with Brains!

Nandini, seeing Maanik's state, offers him water saying that she does the same when she gets emotional about Rishabh. I sooo felt like pulling her cheeks with the expression she had on her face! 🤗

The Monster shouts at her for assuming that, Nandu retorts back saying 'it's not a crime to get emotional'. 🥱

Maanik takes the water but the Junglee in him tries to pour it over Nandini. I sooo wanted to BITCHSLAP the hell outta the Junglee!! 🤬 Nandini stops him not any more Maanik Malhotra'. Another loop-closure! 👍🏼

So Dhruv's not picking up Maanik's phone, but picked up Nandu's at once. Take that Loser Malhotra! 😈

Precap made me go YYAAAYYY! Expelled one day, came back the next. And fab expressions by Niti darling! 😃

As always, you have written everything necessary. Nothing more to add really. Except I have this feeling that Harshad and Manik's mom have some sort of a story between them. He suddenly moved closer to her while talking about the girl he cares about. Wonder what that is. Every character is shaping up well in the show.

Manik, my god. Like I said somewhere, on a scale of one to insane stalker, he would rate about a hundred right now. Manik's physical attraction to Nandini is so effin evident that it's no wonder everyone is pointing out his obsession.

Nandini, man. What a fantastic heroine. Her observational skill is her major power. Last day, too, she beautifully pointed out to Dhruv how Manik is not HIS enemy. Today, again, her take on Manik was noteworthy. Manik is indeed filled with anger. Like she said, there is no space for other emotion because of his terrible anger.

Harshad, I am really curious about him right now. Abhishek, I cannot care less about, I hated him in Splitisvilla lol, but Harshad is quite a character. Nandini is back tomorrow and everything is right with the world.
