Okay, finally saw the whole episode and I am ready to give my 2 cents, specifically after reading the alternate theories going around.
1. Imlie's rant was not just expected, but justified from her character's point of view. Whether she likes it or not, her truth will always have to face the harsh winds of the society she has to live in. That same society prefers to believe easy lies over difficult truths because it is convenient for them. I loved how she said that she was tired. That sense of helplessness and frustration has tired her to the point of exhaustion. The dialogue about being made to share her husband was uncalled for, but again true from her point of view. Destiny has played a cruel joke where both sisters love the same person and Imlie is feeling the weight of that today, more so than any other time.
2. The entire suhaag stealer speil. - Okay, unpopular opinion, but I get where that dialogue came from. I do not like it or agree with it, but I am trying to understand the thought process behind it. While we all agree that Imlie is the first wife legally & she did not steal anything. But the fact that she not only saw but actually allowed for Adi to marry Malini means that at that time in a way she gave away those rights in the eyes of the world. Now that Adi loves her and wants to be with her, even when the truth of their marriage comes out, the society is likely to still hold Imlie responsible for Adi & Malini's divorce. Reason being that they will always say that when she gave away her rights on Adi, why is she now taking it back just because Adi says so. This is how society will perceive it, no matter what the actual equation is between the characters.
In Imlie's case she feels that she will be put in the same bracket as her mom, despite doing nothing wrong and despite her situation being very different from her mother's. Also, Imlie still feels that she is taking Adi from Malini. While Adi never loved Malini, Imlie has always been shown that he genuinely did at one point of time. Like she said, Imlie was his zimmedari while Malini was his choice. Also the girl who said once that "Humne aaj tak kisi kai ek paisa nahi liya hai, kisika pyaar kaise cheen le" is bound to feel that much more guilty on finding out that the person whose "husband" (In quotes because he is not, but for Imlie he used to be) has left her because of Imlie, is going to have a very hard time accepting otherwise.
3. The great continuity question- Now here I am in 2 minds about what to think. I agree at some points the flow seemed off, but some things did seem fine to me. I hated that they showed Mithi equating her circumstances with her daughter's, though they are nothing alike. But I somehow was able to connect to Adi's worry in the end despite all the assurances he gave before. He felt like a regular person who despite everything is worried that even after assuring everyone about the space Imlie has in his life & his family and what he is willing to do for her, she can still leave him out of her misplaced notion that she will be giving him to her didi as a return gift. He is not a toy, but both sisters will treat as one, and his worry about being in the middle of that and losing her in the process was the reason for that conversation. Someone mentioned that he said that he was scared to go talk to Imlie. That was not what I heard. Rupi di said she will talk to her and Adi said "please do", more so because he felt that talking to Rupi di will help. Again, my opinion, you are welcome to contradict.
