Forget the whole episode, if the precap is the truth, then we actually have an interesting week ahead. The look in Imlie's eyes as she approached Malini reminded me of how she looked at Jugnu, when he was holding BS hostage. Agar yeh sach nikla, toh bhai yeh hafta we will actually get the aaghaz of - "Kaun bane rahega Aditya ki patni" wala Sindoor Olympics.
The remaining episode was such a cringe fest, that the best I could do for list what stuck with me after watching, so I am only going to be listing that:
- Aditya is in guilt, but even then he has his priorities straight. At every juncture in his conversations with Malini he only spoke of Imlie. Be it reminding Malini that Imlie is her younger sister, so she will know her better than him, to asking about Imlie to Malini at their college and getting upset that she left Malini and went home. Adi as usual is blind as a bat to Malini's manipulation and again is willing to accept Malini's lies about her love being "Dosti" wala pyaar - ding ding ding for all of you who had predicted that Malini would do this. He refuses to see beyond the surface again and it is visible even in the precap where Malini is dabaoing his head and he has no clue that the one doing that is not Imlie. Man this guy needs to come out of his guilt, as that is the weapon that will be used to damage his relationship with Imlie
- Imlie still wants to believe the best of her sister and give her the benefit of doubt, despite multiple incidents showing her the truth. She still cares for Malini and is willing to apologise for something she did not do, just to make her sister happy. She does realise that Malini is upset at something, but she is unable to realise what. But we did get Imlie being a student for once - talking to her friends and discussing about notes, we git to see her being a regular college student for a change. Also when she saw Adi taking Malini along with him in his bike seemed to have raised her antenna - I just hope she pieces the puzzle together quickly and actually does give a fight instead of just paving the way for her sister to take her place in Adi's life
- Malini refuses to see reason and has only one goal - remove Imlie from Adi's life and take that place. She does not realise that even if she does the former, the latter will never materialize. Even if ImIie and Adi seperate because of her manipulations, Adi will never be able to accept Malini again as his wife - he hinted at that as well, when he said that he does not know what he would do if Malini had told that she still loved him. Malini knows that Adi still has Imlie in his head and is attempting to replace her instead, with her logic that since Malini came first in his life, she will be able to take that spot again. She has no idea ke jo banda Imlie ki taraf tab khicha gaya when he was in a committed relationship with Malini, woh ab usi Imlie ko chodkar wapas Malini ke paas kaise aayega. She assumes that since her father came back from PD and stayed with her mother, she can use the same tactics to get Aditya back. This assumption is not allowing her to see reason that her father tries to explain to her or even see Imlie's sincerity to maintain a sisterly bond with her. She forgets Adi's core quality - whatever his mistakes and choices, he is an honest person who is not a cheater or some kind of bhawara who flits from one woman to another. Malini's obsession is something that is making her blind to everything around her that is trying to get her back to the straight path, but is building the base to whitewash this sins after she realises her mistake sometime in the future.🤢
- Dev was the voice of reason today 🤮. I cannot believe this happened, but Dev's dialogues today not only made sense, but were to a large extent true as well. Aaj DC ka din tha to justify his contract😆, what with him trying to warn Imlie of Malini's intentions, him trying to make Malini see sense and get her out of AC's influence and get back on the right path, him telling Malini that he will support Imlie as she is right in this situation, to even standing up to AC and reminding Anu that no matter what paintra she tries, she will not win as Imlie has earned these relationships due to her selfless nature and love for others. DC has finally realised that Imlie is nowhere at fault in this situation and wants to support her - now how does this support materialize, else yeh bhi token hi rehta hai, we will have to see. Lekin bande ne aaj apne SS ko thoda (miniscule amount, only for today) justify toh kiya hai😆
- AC and Aparna are intent on ruining their kids lives at the cost of their marital lives as well. Aparna is willing to stand against PT and even lose Adi at the cost of getting Malini back as her bahu, while AC is willing to eliminate Imlie if that is what it takes to give Adi as a prize to Malini. Both today showed toxic levels of their mamta, and god bless their children from their toxicity. While Aparna's announcement spelt doom for her relationship with PT, AC's announcement foreshadowed that Imlie's NDE is coming up sooner that we thought.
Baaki there was nothing great in today's episode. As mentioned before, I am more interested in seeing tomorrow's episode to check if Imlie is truly aware of the situation and will fight, or all this is a smokescreen and we are going to get this manipulation and lies to continue till one of Adi or Imlie connect the dots and actually fights for their relationship. Please makers for a change, give us some good content this week.
