I must say, I didn't see the second half and the precap coming quite the way it did😆
An episode that started on Imlie lamenting that Adi didn't keep his promises to her and then her expressing that hurt to him too ki sab bikhar raha hai, aap kaise jodoge jab aapke haath bandhe huye hain etc. etc.....lol I thought this would all head in the direction of a bigger rift.
But then cut to part two😆.....Imlie was shown wondering to Rupi about where this situation leaves her and Adi's relationship......and out of nowhere, Aparna appears and gives gyaan to Imlie ki don't wonder about your place in Adi's life.....focus on the future and what relationship you will have with his kid😆....matlab WOAH stop the press. What did they just show in this scene? An Aparna implicitly acknowledging that Adi is IMLIE'S husband? An Aparna acknowledging that Malini ne GALTIYAAN ki? 😲....and then asking Imlie to basically become the kid's MOM?😕🤣......I was barely managing to digest this turn of events before they jumped to Imlie totally accepting this suggestion so quickly too ki woh bhi bacche ki Maa banegi?🤣
Reason I'm laughing is cuz it then started clicking to me that everyone else in the family is doing the same......if you notice, they've all stopped calling Malini ghar ki bahu or Adi ki wife now😆.....even Radha-BK who were in raptures over the kid are calling AM the mom-dad of the kid but no longer husband-wife.....lol then there's Aparna herself who actually is shown feeling worse about Imlie's state rather than simply enjoying the grandkid, so she herself is now going to Imlie and accepting that Adi is Imlie's husband, not even asking Imlie to accept M in any form....but asking her to build a bond with the kid.....lol and ofcourse Adi himself has stated from the beginning ki he will accept responsibility as father to the kid, that's about it.
Reason I'm recapping all of this is cuz I wonder if Malini realizes that in her zealousness to think that claiming to be bacche ki Maa will get her reinstated as Adi ki wife and ghar ki bahu, she may have missed the mark a bit😆. Cuz what now seems to be happening is that they've all assigned her the role of this abstract bacche ki Maa in the house and all the other titles she so badly wanted of Adi ki wife etc. are no longer in the realm of suggestions for anyone😆.....not even the Aparna who was her #1 defender at one time😆. THAT Aparna is acknowledging that Malini ne GALAT kaam kiye😆....Pankaj ka lecture managed to take some root after all I suppose. It has oh so subtly settled in that Adi ki wife will only be Imlie.....Malini can parade around as the Mom of a kid, that's about it.....the rest is her imagining a family unit that she will never really have.
And then kahaani mein twist....lol if they now show an Imlie actively wanting to play Mom to the aane wala kid too, that's going to make Malini blow a gasket🤣.....the precap is worth watching only for Malini's expression when Imlie says ki woh bhi Maa banne waali hai🤣....no prizes for guessing where Malini's mind INSTANTLY went🤣.....and boy would it have been hilarious to let her think that for a bit...let her sweat thinking Adi ne HAQ de diya Imlie ko🤣
This was a Saturday epi so I dunno Monday tak duniya aur kitni badal jaayegi.....lol but if they want to continue the baby track, then this is one path of making it reach culmination.....the tables turning on Malini when Imlie also starts considering herself Mom to the kid.....lol....M will scream about not wanting to share and usi ke chakkar mein kaafi pol khol ho sakte hain.
Baaki Adi and his attempt to get a lunch date with Imlie🤔😆.....yeh banda apne hi zone mein ghoomega......and wow at Nishu playing wingman to manaao Imlie for this date😆. Only good thing to come out of this was to prove the point ki Adi willingly toh sirf Imlie ke saath jaana chahta hai date pe while Malini cooks up her own fantasies of dates after forcing Adi to get her chaat.....lol
Overall decent Saturday filler epi I'd say.....Imlie's beginning scenes with the prostitutes at the bus stop were also done in a lighter entertaining vein so that was good.
