Episode 298 - The Return Of Chachi

Episode starts with an unknown hoodie person entering one of the hotel rooms and removes the bedsheet. There is a big dummy kept with a wig to make it look like that some person was sleeping here.

Cut to Riddhima walking while crying in the tea estate. She finds a rose on a tree and V letter scratched on the tree bark. She kisses the rose while crying and starts walking. She sits in the middle of the garden and starts talking. It looks as if its a grave, someone was buried there. She says you know right why I did this. I didn't want to but I had to. Sorry. Vansh shouldn't come to know of this else he'll break completely. He won't be able to forgive me. He won't understand me. But aap samajhte ho maine aisa kyun kia. I killed you. I'm sorry. But you know I have loved you alot and will continue to do so till my last breath. [Kudos to Hella, this scene gave an eerie feeling]

Now cut to 12 hours ago.

Riddhima wakes up hastily calling Vansh's name but he isn't there. She goes to the washroom and washes her face but sees red water/blood instead of water. Hello! Miss Murderer is written on the mirror in red. Her picture is there as well with murderer written on it in red. She gets terribly scared. Sia comes asking if everything is fine and asks what's in her hand? Riddhima says are you keeping an eye on me to inform someone? Sia says I'm your old Sia, you can trust me. I was passing by and heard you screaming so came to see what happened. Riddhima asks how come you heard me from a closed door. Sia looks away and says I was just passing by and heard you. Riddhima lies that she screamed because of a nightmare and asks Sia to leave.

Riddhima takes Gayathri in a corner and asks what is this? Gayu says I didn't do this? Gayu says then why are so disturbed? Are you guilty of the murder? Riddhima says I'm not a murderer, you're an assassin. Gayathri says you killed Gayu and turned her into Sara. Our lives are connected by a murder. Riddhima tells her to not say these things aloud as no one knows and its a secret. She says first the BM pendrive and now this, except you who could know of our past. Sara says maybe BM. Riddhima says if BM is someone from my family then how can he/she know about our past. Gayu gets a call and leaves. Riddhima spots the same hoodie person from the glass door and follows him. She runs but the person escapes. She collides with Angre there. She says caught you. Angre asks what's the matter . She says nothing and asks where Vansh is, he goes without informing. Angre says I can't tell but he's safe and will return in 2 days. Riddhima remembers Vansh making her promise that she won't interfere in his business so she let's the matter go and says she'll wait for him.

They hear a female voice saying be careful, if it falls, it'll cost alot. Angre says Chachi came. Ishani sees the bags and asks the waiter whose bags are these? He says some family member. The new entry appears and says its your Chachi. [Okay so the new entry is not Vyom's wife but our very own Chanchal Chachi 🤔] Chachi says I know you were missing me so i'm here. Ishani looks at her. Chachi says why are you staring at me as if meeting me for the first time, I was away just for 4 days. Ishani says I really missed you and even saw you in my dream. Chachi says lier then why didn't you post on social media mentioning #missingchachi. Ishani says now I'll post with the #welcomechachi. Sia comes and compliments Chachi that she lost weight. [My God so much of *fake *love in the family] Angre and Riddhima also meet Chachi. Riddhima says Hi Chachi and Chachi tells her to touch her feet as she is her mother-in-law. Riddhima does and she says I was kidding. She compliments Riddhima says your face is glowing, you've put on weight, obviously as you're pregnant. Riddhima is disturbed hearing about the pregnancy. Sia gets a call and leaves. Riddhima also leaves and Angre leaves to set her room. Chachi asks Ishani for all the gossip if Vansh is still madly in love with Riddhima? [The new entry is fine but really miss our old Chachi, Geetu we miss you alot 😒 ]

Riddhima is walking in the corridor. She is highly disturbed and shivers thinking about the washroom incident, Vansh's absence, Gayu calling her a murderer, Chachi saying Riddhu is pregnant and she faints. Sia runs to help her and calls for help. Angre picks her and takes her to the room and tells Sia to call the doctor. Riddhima wakes up on her bed and the whole RS clan is staring at her. She asks what happened and Sia informs her. Dadi asks how did this happen? Chachi says I thought everyone will gather to meet me but everyone gathered to meet Riddhima, anyways I met everyone here so its okay and says Riddhima would have eaten something wrong. Riddhima denies and asks for how long was she unconscious. Sia says half an hour and gives her juice to drink . Dadi tells her she should take more care, if Sia and Angre wouldn't have been around then what? [Fake concern, why so much of mehnat dadi ] Ishani says she's having juice so she's fine, we should leave. Angre holds her hand.

Ishani says even thh doctor said she is fine. Hearing about the doctor, Riddhima is shocked. Chachi says why shouldn't the doctor have been called? Dadi says calling the doctor was necessary. Ishani taunts that doctor nahi bulate toh aap Vansh bhai se complaint kar deti ki humne apka khyal nahi rakha. Riddhima asks if the doctor did the complete checkup. Chachi signals something to Ishani. Angre says yes the doc did a thorough checkup and you're absolutely fine. Sia says if you need anything, call me, Ishani says if you need something, don't call me.

Ishani-Chachi discuss that Riddhima is hiding something as she looked nervous as if her lie has been caught. Chachi shows Ishani a necklace, she liked it so Chachi gives it to Ishani. Chachi says if I had a daughter, she'd be just like you. Ishani says I'm like your daughter only. [I'll get a heart attack seeing so much love, like seriously ] Ishani says she's glad that Chachi is back and now the game will be a balanced one. till now it was one sided. Chachi says you just tell me what to do. Chachi suggests a name also for their team - Team Chashni = Chanchal + Ishani 🤣[What an irony, toxic fam naming themselves after something this sweet ]. Ishani says such a downmarket name, don't worry now you're back, living with me you'll become upmarket again. Chachi takes her necklace and says its expensive so I'll keep it safely, take it from me whenever you need it. Ishani hugs her and says Chachi you won't change.

Riddhima is in balcony on a call. She says what!!! and Sia knocks on the glass door so she cuts the call. Sia asks if everything is fine? Riddhima says yes and says kya ho gya Sia, aaj meri badi fikar ho rahi hai? Baar baar mere kamre mein aa rahi ho? I'm fine kitni baar kahun. She says I just came to dleiver a letter, it said urgent so I thought I'll only give it to you. Riddhima's face turns pale reading the letter.

Precap - Vyom finds a crumpled paper that said You're secret is out, you're not pregnant, you're betraying the whole family including Vansh. You fainted so the secret is out now. He sees Riddhima and asks her from where is she coming? She denies saying why should I answer you? Vyom says I've always felt as if I had a connection with you, its the connection of sadness. Its looks as if you're coming after saying a final goodbye to someone.

I was skeptical after seeing the precap in the afternoon but now it seems like we might have lost Dottu by the way Riddhima was reacting. 😭

Edit : Hoping its a plan of Riddhima to act this way and dottu is alive.

Helly aced all the scenes today .

The way she portrayed a scared Riddhima was amazing.👏
