Today's episode hinted towards Minnie becoming closer to her grandparents again (I don't know how, though).
I don't think HS was interested in backing off. I don't think he'll make any advances or propose to Babita just yet, especially after being friendzoned but he is falling more and more in love with her and can't help himself when he's around her.
It's going to be a beautiful romance if CVs choose to go this way, and if not, we'll see HS' anguish at the thought of Babita possibly going back to Ashok or maybe getting on better terms with her in-laws again.
The highlight was Mickey explaining to HS what friendzone means and then the message at night. I want Babita to one day become frustrated at the 'friend' tag if HS keeps referring to the two of them that way and then herself want to break that and take the relationship to the next level.
Aniruddh nailed every expression today! Dismissing Mickey but still curious about his new-age tactics to cheer the two ladies up, his over-enthusiasm about being a volunteer yet his awkwardness at standing so close to her despite the legitimate reason, his sheer embarrassment at being so distracted that he didn't notice the halva burning.
Minnie can't even imagine them as a couple, she thinks it's an absurd idea that someone would refer to them as one. It's going to be really interesting when we get to the track where Minnie realizes but needs to be convinced. I wonder if she edited out the bit where HS blows on Babita's hand after her fingers are burned.
Even if Babita and HS finally accept their feelings for each other, I don't think it's going to be that easy for them to get married. They will have to face the "log kya kahenge" dilemma again, and Babita especially will be concerned that people would think they had been right in accusing these two of having an affair in the first place.
It was a lovely episode! I had a smile on my face throughout!
