So if I'm getting this right.....Daadu Beeji will be staying in the haveli as a temporary arrangement while Irfan and co. are still at NB's house.....Trial period pe aaye hain to exorcise some other set of ghosts for Babitaš.....whenever that finishes up, they will likely go back to NB's house.
There was a slight disconnect between yesterday's NB scene with her son wherein she was bitter about him trying to sell the house and today's scene where she was all relaxed and just chilling in the house.....dunno if these scenes were shot out of orderš....
Babita seems to have expected HS to fall in line with her decision by default....he's just sitting there trying to figure out why she's happy about a set of earrings and she's like..."Chalein"? š....what's missing in their scenes these days is the connection between showing how a decision is reached in a mutual fashion rather than just showing us the end product.....that "mutuality" (if that is a word) is missing right now.
The actual apology scene between Babita and the grandparents went more or less as expected. Try as she might, Babita is never fully going to become some full on liberal minded woman....at her core, she will always be an immensely traditional and homely woman.....she has moments of rebellion like when she decided to go back to the haveli during the wedding rasams....but these are just moments....her overall mindset isn't going to change....some things are ingrained too deeply.
So a traditional, homely woman would reconcile exactly as Babita did in that scene....saying they are like her maa-baap, that she wants to be their daughter, wants to do their seva....lol she has a masochistic relationship with seva bhaav.....karna bhi hai aur resent bhi karna hai if reward na mile seva ke liye.....lol jokes apart.....it was typical Babita....trying to take the blame on herself and guilt trip.....I was thankful Beeji atleast made one token statement about how they also let her down in some ways....isse zyada inse ab kya expect kareinš
I found the Daadu-Beeji convo before this scene noteworthy.....all the discussion about moh and shedding baggage felt pertinent.....Beeji clearly clings on to moh a lot more than Daadu....he's still more practical about life than her.....their kids have abandoned them, he's accepted this....but she isn't fully able to.....she still can't let go of the attachment to her children....and that is her Achilles heel that makes her selfish and paranoid in many ways....like her paranoia about the "what ifs" of this new family that Babita and Mini have formed with HS.....she likes HS...but she only really trusts her own flesh and blood at the end of the day....lol typical.
By that logic, everything is precarious in life....guarantee toh asli maa baap ki bhi nahin hai.....khud ki haalat hi dekh lo, Beeji....lol your own blood related son has abandoned you. But somehow, it is the "stepfather" you are more worried about......it is now that you expect Babita the wife to let down Babita the mother.....lol....
Chalo phir sab sort out ho gaya....for now.....lol Mini ne diary entry bhi kar li....we weren't shown how the argument was resolved between her and Babita.....everything normalized the moment the grandparents came home......and everyone jumped to playing caromš
Moment of the epi though for me was the set of looks exchanged by all parties when Preet said that HB ki LOWE marriage hui haiš¤£......Daadi's eyes bugged out....hahahahaha.....oh this is gonna be a hilarious set of convos whenever she asks Babita about this.....and Babita will likely try to again pretend she only re-married for Mini.....LOL
The last scene ended a bit abruptly but I liked it cuz for once there seemed to be a hint of a parenting style discussion between HB.....Babita talking about how kids toh try to melt you with tears but you gotta stand firm with them (btw look who's talking about trying to get your way with tears....irony alertš).....and HS being like, I just wanted Mini to relax toh main maan gaya.....lol who is this guy and what has he done with our strict Thaanedaar? :P
So coming up looks like multiple clashes for the trio again.....Mini-Babita will clash over this Micky issue and Babita trying to be strict with her jawaan beti.....HS-Babita may clash over parenting styles and approaching this situation with Mini.
If today's reaction over "love" marriage is anything to go by, it's fully possible they will draw parallels between Micky and HS and their respective approaches to friendship and 'love'....lol
Meanwhile, Daadu-Beeji in the mix should supply ammo for other fireworks in the haveli during this "trial period"š
