I think this episode was absolutely necessary for the story to progress . Shiva first of all hears mami spewing venom , the acting was top notch from all 3 and the way things escalated I feel this is how most things happen in a brawl . I know Raavi heard everything and was quiet made us all mad but think from her point of view , she has berated mami time and again and saw no improvement but just saw her getting worse so frustrated after listening to her mother in law asking her if she's taunting her got her angry . Mami said stuff but raavi said iss parivar ke cheezo mein mat pado phir bhi aap nahi sunti . Raavi didn't defend with full force because the way scenes played out that poor soul barely got any time , it hurts when your in-laws taunt and your mother figure would be the reason .I know right and wrong matters but from where raavi came maasi ma took her in when she was a kid and treated her as a child so taking a stand for her . I get it . You yourself can yell at your mom but if someone else does it gets to you .Raavi did try stopping mami from saying stuff that's when Shiva yelled at her to just be quiet. I understand that was wrong but his rage was out of control , it's 10 years of pent up frustration .Mami literally broke their family with 0 remorse , the kids have seen way more than they required in their childhood so I totally get how things panned out today .
Raavi probably might yell at mami by herself but dhara saying stuff to mami wasn't something she could take . Yeah if she's wrong she would explain to her and tell her to go but it ain't easy to hear someone else badmouth your mom even if she's wrong . Just my opinion.
Also I feel by Shiva's expression hes going to do something big . He looked like a deer caught in headlight .We shouldn't be keeping way too many expectations but what if the pawn shop thing is all related to raavi dunno how if he's trying to make amends in someway ( hopeful heart).
Shivi fan in me felt so bad but yeah shivi have never been all roses of bed which makes their bond special . Their ups and down in their relationship is what makes them them .Have to be patient with episodes .
