My reasoning is
If pregnancy claim happens, it has to be before, not now, because if they do it for rape scenario - they cannot let Adi and Malini go scot free even even if Imlie withdraws the case - as it will look like the makers picked up an issue and did not deal with it properly. All other rape victims will be disrespected. They will not convict either Adi or Malini - so this is very unlikely. If they withdraw the case - on basis of mutual consent after all this nonsense - since they want to drop the case or cannot prove it - Imlie looks pathetic and her future relationship with Adi will be forever shamed in the eyes of the public.
The only way it can end well for all concerned then is if Malini confesses to spiking the drink but not taking advantage of Adi...she may get a small punishment, Imlie wins her case, Adi's professionalism is not questioned, bigamy is addressed and Adi's sins are redeemed.
And if pregnancy claim has to be before - so unless Adi 2 timed Imlie which we don't think he did Malini is lying...and Adi should know this. Its Adi vs Malini's words now and buys her time. Imlie may not believe but others may - for a short while - they can carry this drama, till proved otherwise. Now Malini may have a deal with Adi to say for all the pain you gave me after 7 years - I need you to take this on yourself till she escapes from legal system or hold something else over him - but its very difficult for Malini to pull this off without Adi knowing her true colors. If Adi succumbs regardless to Malini's blackmail - his professional code of conduct is compromised and Imlie will be hurt. Malini will escape for a while but eventually truth will come out when there is no baby anyways. If its another's baby which it could be from KC's relationship with Malini before she dumped him then Adi may pardafash eventually and it explains why it seems like KC a smart lawyer is hung up on Malini with no that much encouragement from her. She may have led him on more intimately than we expected before she friend zoned him. Explains KC's disgust for her now.
