Lovely analysis, tellyme👏
Especially loved the points you made in bold. I liked the epi for the same reasons....we got a demonstration of what the core of Imlie is.....she is innocent at heart but still has courage and strength to tackle anything that comes her way. The situation she was thrown into could have gone very horribly wrong.....but she made her way out of it through a mix of factors....firstly she is truly a BLESSED child....her Sita Maiyya does watch out for her in some form or the other....and the rest Imlie always manages to somehow use her wits, intelligence, pluck to find her way out. Even in a moment where she was out on the streets by herself around people with bad intentions, she managed to make her way home.....even when she was otherwise sad about Adi not coming to get her, she still managed to make her way home......this is what Imlie is.
I also loved that one line she had in between where she was telling the prostitutes to never rely on a man for financial assistance or any other support in general.....yeah she was also saying it partially out of her hurt that Adi let her down but overall also it just reiterated how Imlie is the one who has truly been independent minded despite this surface appearance for which people judge her ki just cuz she's staying in T house without getting their full acceptance, that somehow makes her "dependent" or a "doormat".....no, she is not. She is doing whatever she wants as per her decisions - not relying on someone to support her through life financially or otherwise......this is something Adi both admires about her as well as feels intimidated by......lol cuz he himself is not that mentally and emotionally independent despite having that pride of a man otherwise.
So yes, this demonstration of who Imlie is at her core again subtly reiterated why she will always find her path out of every horrible situation thrown her way no matter how hopeless it feels. Just like she found her way home on her own even when she was left to fend for herself on the streets, she will make her way no matter what evil things are thrown her way by Malini and AC.......Adi is her home and Imlie will always find her way back to him no matter how many people try to break down her home.....because she is strong enough to overcome even when it seems the night is endlessly long and her home is no longer visible....she will still find her way....she is the one who has always known how to find a path more than any other character in this story.
Also agree that things will happen in their own time, contrary to our expectations....when we expect something to happen in a grand fashion, it happens subtly and under the radar......when we expect something to happen softly, it happens suddenly in an abrupt fashion.....lol.....but the progression will continue even in this zigzag way.
The bottom line despite all the hiccups is this......Adi loves Imlie immensely and all consumingly - and he always will. Nothing can make him budge from that - not his own missteps, his character flaws, his guilt, his regrets about anything.....nothing can make him stop loving Imlie. She is his home at the end of everything - no one can make him change his mind on that. That is the point of all these horrible things happening that would have broken down the will of any other set of people....but both Adi and Imlie are super dheet and stubborn in their own respective ways.....they will keep holding on even as they feel hurt and let down by each other......lol. The intent here is to show that they are no ordinary pair, no ordinary relationship.....any average relationship would have caved in the face of what they are facing....but these two are proving the point that even feeling let down and hurt by each other is not the end of a relationship when you have a love that makes you want to continue to work through everything and still hold on to each other. They take turns faltering about different things but at the end of the day the intent in both of them is to uplift each other......just that they get diverted from the path intermittently....but they will always keep coming back to the path which is about uplifting each other because that is the core of their love ultimately.
