Bravo, my dear Shreya! A scintillating and lucid analysis that I would have been delighted to have done myself.
I agree 101% with your take on Rudra's failure as a shishya to this extraordinary guru of his. But then, my dear, Rudra has always been a weakling in the spirit, unable to think a thing out for himself, swayed by instant emotions, and always having to cling to someone else's mind in order to be able to formulate his own ideas. The sole exception to this rule was the bombs incident, but it now seems to be the exception that proves the rule. In this, he resembles the invariably mahaan TV soap bahus, except that he is the wrong gender! So it not surprising that at crunch time, he is found wanting.
Instead, he is, as usual, facilely emotional, babbling about insaaniyat and how he cannot see anyone in pain. I begin to wonder why they ever made him the Garuda Pramukh. It is ironic that his first sally into insaaniyat is directed at a non-insaan, the naga mole Leela.😉
Besides, so overwrought is he that he does not even grasp a key point that is crucial to his under standing of what is really going on.
This is about what MB is saying when she hisses at him not to discuss the Two Books in front of Shivanand, for then they would not be safe. For that one instant, as Shivanand's face was shown in the gap between Rudra and MB, I thought I spotted a fleeting look of sly satisfaction in his eye, as if someone else were looking out of his eyes and observing the MB-Rudra spat with malicious satisfaction.
The next instant it was gone, and I wondered if I had imagined it. But after factoring in MB's warning to Rudra, I am sure that I was correct. Even otherwise, Shivanand's weeping and moaning and yelling seem greatly overdone. I now feel it was all a sham, with purposes that need no explanation.
The blowback of Rudra's lack of faith in MB will be terrible, and then he will face an enemy in his own camp, his former Baba. It might then be almost too late. But only almost , as this is a fairy story, not real life!
As for pitayi itself, do see my post to Arshi above. It reminded me of the Tom and Jerry cartoons. But I think the writers failed in not giving some hint, more than the fleeting look in Shivanand's eyes, to let the viewer know what is really happening.
As for the episode belonging to Seema Biswas' MB, is that not the rule?

Dansh's cruelty and the gruesome murders :Dansh is a monster and monsters do evil things, they are expected to be so.In fact that's what makes us hate them.So his carnage of Rudras family was what established him as the evil most naga supremoRepulsive as it was, it was expected from himHis pointless killing of the two men after administering the hallucinogen to shiva - again goes to show how lightly he holds pain and torture and death of others, and I don't mind it, because one day, if the writers are just and fair, he too shall suffer the same fate, and that I shall enjoy very much thank you.Bhairavis cruelty :But Bhairavi - who has taken on the roop of maimui - she cannot be so cruel! If thrashing shiva is needed to cure him ( I want to kill the writers with the same lathi, for writing this situation and making maimui do such horrendous acts ), the beating up of Katherine and Charles and DM was completely uncalled for.She knows how to mesmerize Rudra with her wisdom and get him to do tasks of great courage, why would she not offer the same wisdom to the others ?As for vishvas in the guru, she has hardly been a guru to these Garudas, and secondly, no matter how much we love, trust and venerate our guru, must we not question her, and do show our disagreement if the guru commits acts that our hearts and brains and conscious do not condone?True Bhakti is not blind obedience to a person, it's to a cause, and to the values taught by the guruSo, I was very disappointed with Bhairavi last night - if she has a higher reason, and I am sure the writers will give her something, she still has to take the path of reason and compassion and not of command and demandBhaiaravi is supposedly a good soul, and good souls do not resort to violence unless strictly necessaryAnd the beating up of Garudas - unnecessary !!!!For me these scenes are far more repulsive than Dansh's cruelty, for that we know was wrong - he is showing us what not be be...Bhairavi till now was the adarsh guru - a role model we all aspire to be ...And her actions were really not what an adarsh guru would doThis the writers want us to accept as right - I can'tThis thing of being cruel for the greater good - the arguement given by all dictators, to justify their actions. Truly compassionate people will do this as the last resort and not the first reaction.So for me good has to be good, and bad is badZalim kare zulm, yeh uski fitrat haiKoi Aur ummeed bhi nahi rakhna usseChot pahunchana uski aadat haiPar gar koi zakham chota sa apna sathi de jayeToh woh, tan ko lage na lage,dil ko tod jaye, Ruh to cheer jaye ...

Shyamalaji The writers are Narad Muni😊They have managed to generate lot of discussion on forum . They might have Whispered some things in the show but discussions are LOUD.😛Just want to put my view on the 'Infectious Poison' mentioned by you. The infectious poison could be airborne/ food borne/ water borne. Here its Drug induced one which has led to mental distuebance in Shiva. Maimui thinks Shiva's this condition might infect others. I feel she only means other Garuds will start showing mental imbalance/ revolt , But I am sure not as a result of Shiva's poison.The good old days had remedies for poison where herbs were used and Raktamokshan or taking blood out intravenously was one of the remedy. Even Leeches were used to take the impure blood out. 😳MB being 'Jack of Many trades ' , I thought shoud have used at least Garudi Vidya on Shiva. There are sohisticated ways to Bring the poison out of the body. To protect Shiva and others thrashing with ROD is completely unacceptable.😡With the current progression of events in the show. its heading to a 'Game of Chinese Whispers'. 😃
