Which Mahir he was in the interval of kid Mahir ? Original Mahir or Zombie Mahir ?
95 % chances of being former
And if he was, then
The memory back was as artificial as pinky - bunty naamkaran flashback. It was more likely Pearl's expressions rather than THE Mahir ji's. Today Pearl was better as kid Mahir comparatively.
Mahir ji always had a different kind of satisfaction on his face when HIS Bela used to stay near him. The stare was devoid of 'Patidev special stare' too.
Mahir ji's cheesiest dialogues too were used to sound so real, soothing and perfect. But today's 'Couldn't forget you ever' sounded like just a conversational statement. There was tiredness at the place of usual calmness.
Probably Pearl was enjoying kid time more and need a proper boostup and powerpack to get back in the original Mahir ji's character.
Or may be the essence I am searching on is forever gone.
Bela and we all were so eagerly patiently waiting for our Mahir ji to come back as THE Mahir ji, it was us who beared the tortures for months in the pool of memories and hope of betterment not to face an unreal Mahir 👎🏼
In short, TALAASH of MAHIR JI is still on going. Any relevant clue could help, kindly contact.

Or if he was later,
Ghanta fark padta hai, phir bhi 👍🏼

Rant done. On whole episode was nice at least better than past ones with few unnecessary elements here and there but ye to job hai na inka, varna Khanna nahi na milega !!
