I've forgotten who made the precap prediction about Adi completing the "I love you" song, but congrats, aap watercooler jeet gaye👏😆.
And on that note, the makers seem to have started going back to daily precaps again😆.
The episode felt mostly like a filler, IMO....especially the entire extended first half with the whole family pranking on Imlie about the stupid "family mantra". Malini DIDI decided ki Imlie baahar khaane nahin jaa sakti warna studies interrupt ho jaayengi.....lol ok😆
Once again, Malini didi ki den ki Adi-Imlie ended up in the house together by themselves and "I love you" moment ho gaya😆. The whole thing was pretty dumb as a premise and had the potential to veer into more slapstick territory but what saved it were GM-ST as usual😆.....Adi's irritation with this entire dumb prank, then him blurting out the "I love you", Imlie laughing initially at the silliness of it all but then that moment of pause when she opens the door and he says it to her again to her face.....and both of them kinda freeze in awareness for a bit before Adi rolls his eyes and tells her off for believing this dumb prank.....lol.....but then again, a little poignant switch from Imlie as she smiles in a bittersweet manner that she only realized this can't be a real thing when she heard him say "I love you" to her....aww Imlie😆.....ST plays all this so well.
The other thing I enjoyed....Imlie's little study session as she tries to memorize what "hippocampus" is and her conclusion that it means puri duniya bailbuddhi hai🤣.....
In terms of "drama", we had the Chaturvedis conveniently already there at the restaurant that Nishant picked for his dumb surprise😆.....only notable new thing was AC openly accusing Adi-Imlie of having an affair in front of the entire family....this time she didn't mince words - she made a pretty direct accusation😆. Bechaari naazuk dil waali Malini DIDI stormed off in anger on hearing this from her mom....bas itna hi.😆
Thankfully atleast Papa Tripathi took a stand and told off AC for not only insulting Adi but also slandering Imlie's character.
I have no idea why I'm supposed to care that Nishant bought a car😆....seriously whatever....please make this character a little less boring.
Precap seems to be AC getting more "credible" ammo than usual to make Malini suspect Adi-Imlie of an affair...those were some weird camera angles trying to make it look like Adi-Imlie were so close.....I'm like when he has he ever leaned in that much to talk to her?😕😆...kuch bhi random.....lol but since we've already seen Atif bhaiyya ka insta video, we know ki iske aage aayega "trust" wala convo between "made for each other" couple Adi-Malini and sab hawaa ho jaayega once again😆.
Hard to find a coherent theme for the epi but the only two things that stood out to me were Imlie's naivete and the crassness with which AC slandered her in the last scene. Maybe that's the build up the writers are going for *shrugs*.
