I agree with you Saumie. Dev and Sonakshi always needed a catalyst. Without Ritwik, Dev would have forever stalked Sonakshi and live his life and without Jatin, this Hate game would have gone forever too. Jatin seems a very calm and sorted person who calmed Sonakshi down and didn't let her get into an ugly public fight. That's what a friend does. They make you see sense.
