I was expecting this whole week to be yet another flaming waste pileđ.....but lo and behold, a return to form for Imlie big time todayđ.
We not only got a lovely Adi-Imlie scene right in the beginning of the epi but it was like every character got reset to their core traitsđ.....especially Adi, Imlie and the Tripathis.
The beginning scene with Ts excited about Malini's return initially made me think ki ek aur Didi bhakti scene hi hoga but thank god it transitioned to moređ.....Imlie was stressed about what Malini will come and say to the family so the family sent her away to rest cuz she looked distractedđ. Phir inke patidev ne lagaya jugaad about how to go after her đ.....idea aaya MIRCHI khaane kađ...to use as an excuse to go get juice from the kitchen and be able to go to Imlieđ. Oh man, such a comedy scene....Aparna insisting that Sundar will get the juice for him and Adi's like, "Please don't DOMINATE me"đ¤Ł....."Main ADULT hoon aur apna juice KHUD laa sakta hoon"đ¤Ł. LOL he even was babbling something about how he thought mirchi meethi hogi toh galti se khaa liđđ......BK was trying to offer JALEBIS to him instead of Juice but Adi was like sab log mujhe baksh do, mujhe bas juice peene jaana haiđ
I still can't tell if even the half mirchi he ate impacted his garam khopdi one bitđ....family ke saamne toh "si si" kar raha tha but Imlie tak pahunchte huye ekdum shaant ho gaya instead asking her ki tum theek ho?đ......I am so SO thankful today ki writers ko ITNE DINO baad basic Adi-Imlie vibe aaya beyond just keeping them in maatam mode....Hallelujah! This scene had everything....Imlie sharing her worries with Adi.....even if the issue remains Malini, she isn't excluding Adi anymore like she was previously.....and aaj they remembered to bring back some of Imlie's fun vocab too without doing it in a mariyal manner.....haha aaj ka WOTD was TERRIFAA gaye hainđ.....LOL@ Imlie explaining to Adi how this is the highest degree of darr/fear and him bursting out laughing over thatđ. Adi was very assured in his stance today also.....telling her that the house of lies has to fall for a new beginning to happen....she thinks her world will fall apart if Malini tells everyone the truth but that world was built on lies for so long so it has to end some day.....Adi as always is more fearless about the truth between themđ.....baaki they did their standard argument over KC real hai ki nahin haiđ.....but aaj baat ghumaa li towards social mediađ. Adi trying to show to Imlie ki bahut KC hain social media pe, inmein se koi bhi Malini wala ho sakta haiđ.....to which Imlie's like aur nahin bhi ho saktađ.....LOL@ Imlie calling that KC ADRISHYA PRAANI todayđ
Adi's patience was about to give up yet again as he grumbled ki he came there to calm down Imlie but she is doing his dimaag kharaabđ.....he was about to walk away but Imlie surprisingly stopped him this time đ.....and switched the topic to asking if IMLIE hai social media pe ki nahinđ¤Ł.....this bit was so unexpectedly cute, manđ......Imlie cajoling him to search for her name on social media....Adi initially being like nahin hai koi account cuz Imlie toh EK hi hai unique pieceđ.....how cutely was Imlie watching him in this bit, man.....awww....sookhe mein hariyaali after SO longâ¤ď¸đ.....and then Adi making up a pretend account on the spot to tease his Jhalliđ.....Description mein bola ki "Imlie bahut khatte swabhaav ki hai"đ....to which Imlie was like, naa, that can't be me thenđ....and Adi's like, "Oh haan, tum toh bahut zyada TEEKHI ho"đ.....and then switching gears to pyar se describing Imlie as "Ped pe ugti hai bahut saari ummeedein lekar.....aur khatti bhi bahut faayde-mand hoti haiđ.....lekin agar thoda sa waqt do toh meethi bhi ho jaati hai"......awwww, Babusahibâ¤ď¸đ.....apni saari ummeedon ka description de daala ki kabhi yeh Imlie aapke liye bhi meethi ho jaayegi ek din agar aap patience rakheinđ
Icing on the cake has to be ki Imlie for once is acknowledging that she feels relaxed, assured when she is with Adi.....Finally, FINALLY the writers seem to be bringing out that sense of a unit between them properly rather than keeping them in limbo....Adi is reaching out to sambhaalo her more when she gets rattled and Imlie in turn is starting accept that support from him more too rather than thinking delusional stuff like last timeđ......Please Sita Maiyya, kuch din ki consistency toh de dena in dono ko phir se *jodoes haath*
Phew, I wrote a puraan on that first sceneđ....but surprisingly that wasn't the only good Adi-Imlie bit todayđ.......second half mein mil gaya Adi-AC confrontation where Adi warned off AC in his own style ki BASđ....aaj garam tawaa bahut hi low tone mein warning de raha tha so it was all the more INTENSEđ.....ROFL@ the way he was like, "Hum aapki pareshaani samajh rahe hain kyunki aap shock mein hain, toh aap bhi please humari WARNING samajh leejiye"đ.....
Iske baad Didi was jumping in here and there to do her OTT nautankis so not gonna expand much on thatđ.
Overall though, a notably better directed/edited epi after AGES. Heck, I could even sit through Loservedi crap cuz other characters were all balanced out and in character......shockingly Aparna was also allowed to stand up for Imlie again against ACđ.....but I know yeh jaldi flip maaregi again with divorce news isliye isko Imlie ko support karte dikhaa rahe hainđ
Another telling bit was when Ts told Imlie to leave the hospital to not bear AC ki bakwaas but Didi still tried to make Imlie stay for loser Dev Papa's sakeđ......but Adi intervened and said ki Imlie nahin rahegi yahaan pe and it was finally Adi's "Jaao" that made Imlie leave.
Precap mein sherni Imlie is back, this time twisting AC ki arm in response to AC trying to slap her againđ......I like this tag team approach....they aren't showing her dependent on Adi for protection from AC....he did get his chance to stand up for her but Imlie is still standing up for herself as well against AC and that's a pleasant surprise to me that she isn't doing lihaaz just cuz yeh Didi ki maa haiđ
