So after having read both the positive and the not so positive views of members on the forum regarding Friday's episode, I finally got the chance to catch up with the episode.

My take on the episode.
First a wonderful episode. Ishwari was more upset because Dev listened to his wife and not entirely because Dev took a decision of not assigning a high level job to vicky. Yes she was guilty because she couldn't help Vicky which is her way of returning a bit of ehsaan by her brother.

I felt, Ishwari's reaction was quite valid, its not about how much money Mamaji had helped her with, but about the time he came to help her and the way he helped her. He broke his ppf for the medical expenses of Riya or else who knows perhaps Riya wouldn't had been alive today. I have seen people getting extremely cautious even about their FD's when it comes to they might have to break it and breaking ppf its a huge very huge thing. Some may not understand the value what it holds for a salaried employee, but not everybody can do so and not everybody does so selflessly like mamaji did for Riya. No matter how much money Dev returns to mamaji, it will never equal to the help he provided then, never. Offcourse, mamaji never asked for this return of ehsaan but his wife n son wants all and more in return.

When a person is subjected to harsh realities of life, tough situations, bad situations like the dixit's had to go through when after Mr. senior Dixit died, one can never delete those moments from life, no matter where you reach in future or what you become in future. No second person can ever truly understand that situation no matter how much he or she claims to understand or try to understand it.
Sona had heard all about Dev's childhood at the time of her accident, but can she relate to any of it, no absolutely not. She is an outsider to that experience and will always be. Dev was right, she can never understand, she never understood what Ishwari, Dev and Neha had to go through. She may say I love you to Dev, but nonetheless she can still never understand what someone feels when their loved ones are on hospital bed and hopes of never getting treated strikes your mind.
Sona had a very comfortable life unlike Dev or other dixit's.

The way Sona came and said to Dev, no matter who says what (seriously its her MIL she talked about) but I am with you and your decision of not appointing Vicky at high level position. That was so inconsiderate and insensitive of her. She was trying to put Ishwari down by her comment. Does she not think Ishwari means anything to Dev (forget about what she thinks of Ishwari for her). How could she even say something like that when she clearly saw how upset Ishwari was. Is Dev's business decisions above Ishwari for Sona.

Yes Dev lashed out at Sona, but that was bound to happen with the way she kept coming on to him inspite of how clearly he said to leave him alone at that moment. Even in the precap, Sona is more concerned with a decision that does not directly affect both of them (not her for sure) but she was all so defensive when Dev questioned her about her decision of Fasting which affected both of them directly. Really didn't expect this from Sona. Its like she is fighting for her position with Ishwari. Her ego was forefront in both the scenarios.

And lastly these are strictly my comments and views. No offense to anyone's POV.

Nice analysis
You have said it all .I would like to add one more point and i am sure i would be the minority here

When Sona was saying she supports Dev i could see the pride in her eyes that Dev considered her decision over Ishwari's and she was supporting her decision indirectly not Dev .It was not like before where we have seen her supporting Dev irrespective of what he decided .

When Dev changed his decision we could see the transformation from supportive wife to angry one as his decision was changed .Supporting him was not the priority anymore .

I dont blame her for this as she is not over the breakup and her fears of losing him again to Ishwari is evident in her actions. Subconsciously, she is competing with Ishwari at every possible level .

I wish makers take this route where we see them addressing DIL insecurities along with MIL's .Dev hasa bigger role to play as he is the most secure among the three and he is the only one who can assure both the ladies how important they are to him .

You are right, she was angry that Dev changed the decision which evidently was her's n chose Ishwari's. She is least bothered by what was Dev's past and why Ishwari said what she did and why Dev was upset later. Once again proving the point that she never will understand Dev's past. Its was only about her decision not getting priority over Ishwari's remained her sole concern. I don't call that supportive at all. If she continues like this, a DIL like some say would end up breaking relations and the house. And its not about her insecurity of non-acceptance by Ishwari but her ego which she keeps projecting by saying "independent woman n all". Really don't like when keeps repeating this dialogue but all she does is busy in cooking, fasting, puja (things she never believed or had done before) and forgot about her profession.

Very well said.. Exactly my thoughts . Sona might be logically right but she should have just left him alone at that time...i didnt realize this before, now that you have said it , i do feel it was insensitive of her to say "koyi kuch bhi kahe asp sahi hai.. I am with you"..

Precisely why i said sona acted like a second ishwari instead of being sona herself.. Dev definitely doesnt need two ishwaris in his life dictating what he should be doing

It seems Sona does not want to disappoint Ishwari and keeps agreeing to everything she tells her to or not to do, because she feel it will make her look good in Ishwari's eyes, but she is perfectly ok If Ishwari is upset with Dev, how mean is that. so all that respect she shows for Ishwari is fake If she does exactly the opposite behind her back.

Ishwari played her trump card very tactfully as usual. All I can see is a shade of pretense in her "ehsaan" speech to make Dev feel guilty, and also to save her superiority title in the Dixit household- sole decision maker. Dev has not only been providing food, clothing, shelter, but also a lavish life to all the family members in the past couple of years. How long is he supposed to repay the obligations? Normally parental obligations ends when a child reach 18 yrs old but for Dev - who is not even a parent, it never seems to end. If Ishwari was a good mother she should be grateful to her son for his support instead of pushing him into the past making him more remorseful.

Yes Ishwari wants to keep the upper hand. But that's not what was of concern to her initially when GKB first came and complained of Dev hiring Vicky not on any high position. Ishwari's first reaction was no Dev cannot do this, I will talk to him. It was only after GKB said Sona suggested and so Dev did this that she was angry. The bottom line is Ishwari is not wrong to tell Dev all about ehsaan of mamaji and I don't think she was manipulating Dev this time. Yes, she stated her POV to Dev about the situation. Apart from her taunts related to Sona, I believe her concern was real for Dev not doing what he should have done for Mamaji's family. Ishwari is not being selfish here, her guilt and agony were all real. she felt lost when Dev refused to acknowledge what Mamaji's had done for them in a way not giving job to fulfilling wishes of Vicky.

Everything is fine, only thing I didnt like is..Ishwari trying to hold Dev back in his past life...Why cant you give him the trust he needs. Vicky will go through training and rise much bigger and better. Isnt that what we all want end of the day, so that their family can be independent.
As far Sona, yes, her ego was hurt because she was independent (able to make decisions for herself) and everyone in her home also aligned and supported her. She is now in this alien place, where she is trying to please everyone and fit in and no one respects her or her decision. I felt the anger is natural (but not justfied). Also, she is sensible, not sure why she kept piling on and on when Dev asked for peace..(hit the rod when its hot??)

You are entitled to your opinion.
But I am really surprised at this skewed take on the episode. How you did not notice some very evident points of insult and alienation towards Sona is beyond me.
Anyway that's entirely your call but you did not account for anything that happened the moment Dev entered the house or even before when ishwari went up marching to Sona's room.

Sona was an object of humiliation and neglect for ishwari and all others both in her room and when dev was being badgered in the living area. Dev should have expressed his position to Sona without yelling at her - he was respectful to that scumbag but not to his wife.
He could have at least pointed out to his mother not to drag Sona into this matter. Ishwari openly said you changed your decision upon speaking to your wife, that was a direct accusation. And right when Sona was standing there.
That is NOT how you treat a daughter in law.

Agree completely. Ishwari's approach to Vicky faults are troublesome.

But sometimes we ignore the faults and deficiencies of family because they had done something for us in the past which is far bigger than what we have to tackle at the moment. Same goes for Vicky.

Ishwari too is aware of Vicky's faults but then she considers its not ok to question in front of Mamaji's deeds. She feels indebted at all times and its true what Dev is today is also because of Mamaji's help in the past. Ishwari is not wrong entirely, but on a bigger picture and longer run she will understand Dev's point of view when Vicky would start jeopardizing Dixit name and business for he knows absolutely nothing.

But right now Ishwari doesn't want to face mamaji knowing see sister I helped your family when you needed me but you refused when my family asked, this feeling is really not ok on anybody's mind and heart.
