First off, Happy 200th episode to all Imlie fans🥳. We have reached the much awaited milestone. While today's episode was a mixed bag forme, thought to start the thread so that we can together contemplate what happened today. Everyone deserves a round of applause for making this amazing show a hit! 
I am not going to go into a synopsis, coz utna bhi interesting nahi tha, just going to jump in with some of my observations:
1) We got some continuity from yesterday's episode with a conversation between Adi & Imlie regarding telling the truth. While Adi's foreboding came true in the latter part of the episode, both of them right now are wary on how to manage the truth in a way that it does not come out in a wrong way and cast questions on their marriage. Adi has been clear from the time he accepted the marriage that he will not allow anyone to say anything bad about Imlie or his relationship with her. So we have to see how today's revelation will affect Adi & Imlie's relationship with the truth
Aditya's fear is going to be true but i am still holding out hope that this incident wont able to tarnish Imlie or Aditya's image.. Whenever Anu has planned for a public spectacle the whole situation has backfired on her so yeah kind of excited to see how does this one play out..
2) I did not mind Imlie today, specifically because her character seemed consistent to me. First when she discusses with her mother of lying for so long that telling the truth frightens her. For an honest person like her, this was a huge confession to make. Meethi's response to that saying that if she had considered SK's feelings, she would have married him 20 yrs back. It was a subtle nod from Meethi that Imlie needs to prioritize her relationship with Adi as soon as possible by considering Adi's feelings as well. Then her entire confrontation with Dev was as expected. Imlie knows the man is not bad, just a huge coward who cheated her mother. I still dont think she has forgiven him, it is just a tenuous dhaaga that is there, where she is willing to give him a chance based on respect for her father's word, nothing else. The reason I felt that was her thought that when marriage truth comes out, she knows he will not be able to keep any promises he was making. Imlie Dev ki fitrat se waqif hai and I am glad they showed that, despite her giving him a chance on SK's behest. The entire college drama is going to go out of hand, we know that. I just hope that if nothing else, she has friends that support her, as they did show her ragging wala friend shooting for teh show. Pata hai that either Malini or Adi or Dev or herself, one of these people will do something, jo humein kal hi pata chalega.
@red - ohh i so agree with you.. its just formality from her side.. she likes him but she knows he will be first one to turn his back on her the moment things go sideways for Imlie. Its more out of respect she has accepted Dev as another potential relationship.. she gave him a chance its upto him to prove her, SK n mitthi correct.. 
3) SK - SK ke baare mein sunke, first I was really disappointed. On seeing the episode my disappointment reduced a little bit. The guy was still mad it Dev, but was willing to give him a chance to try and SK landed up being the bigger person. I still have a hunch that this is not the end and when SK finds out what happened in college, there may be a Dev-SK or a SK-Anu confrontation. I may be hoping for a lot, but it never hurts to dream. But I am still very upset that they butchered his character so much that he made Imlie accept Dev. That just was not done, but hum kya hi kar sakte hai.
ok minority opinion but i somehow felt SK was still in character.. he is always knows to do justice so how does giving a fair chance to a guy who is begging for it is different.. Dev ran away from mitthi.. but he never knew about imlie.. thats the saving grace for Dev.. he has definitely sinned mitthi but that was knowingly imlie paid the price of it unknowingly so i get what SK must have thought.. he is still trying to give Imlie a right lesson in life.. be better than your parents.. it must have been extremely hard for him to do and doing that definitely makes a bigger person
4)AC - You know, as much as we hate her, kudos to the makers for making her the one character that has been consistent from day one. She was vicious then and continues to be vile even today. Her stance has always been very clear and she has stuck by it all through this time, never changing it for anyone, not even her daughter. Today's tamasha was somehow foreseen, as I had thought she will go to Imlie's college (Usne apne story pe us backdrop ke saath pic dala tha, so knew that she would go to college to create some drama). I am happier that she took this route to make Imlie's life, as it makes sense that she wants to humiliate Imlie for hurting Malini. How this goes and who faces her tomorrow is what is to be seen.
i have love hate relationship with AC.I hate her for her language but i love her as she makes the story move in right direction. All her actions to give justice to her daughterhave brought a welcomed changed in Aditya n Imlies life. It was her that made Aditya take the 3rd PD trip. it was her who made Aditya tell the truth and now its again going to be her who will further the story from AI perspctive.. 
The flicker of hope that aparna had in last couple of episodes will evaporate again today. After this.. a public spectacle of Aditya and imlies relationship things are never going to be as they were at episode 98-99.. 
All I can say is that today, while the overall drama quotient was high, not one my favourite episodes today.
