I've decided to continue putting this disclaimer for this track because it's gonna be like this for a while I suppose🤔😆
Disclaimer:
Similar to last week, I watched today's episode by keeping my emotions and feelings in the locker, it's something I do when there's too much drama
so it's mostly me trying to look at things from the characters' pov (well mostly because I'm still a hooman). I'm not siding with anyone at this point. I love both Pallavi and Raghav as well as RaghVi together. If there's anything anyone disagrees with, know that I respect your views too. This take may or may NOT reflect my personal feelings or opinions so please no tomatoes only samosas

Esha be like aaj phone liya hain kal pati lungi😎
It was a great to see Pallavi straight out asking Raghav about her doubts regarding the messages, instead of assuming things. That's actually one of the things I've always liked about her character (back when her character used to be written with some care)--she spends less time speculating and more time communicating directly whenever possible.
It seems strange that Raghav couldn't tell Pallavi about Esha's 'Me too' message even upon her insistence. Same Rao, different day 😆 It's likely he himself got uncomfortable thinking Esha misunderstood his texts and responded like that, and wasn't sure how to process that information, hence he didn't want to even talk about it.
A couple of things that I'm glad they showed in this scene:
Raghav very casually giving his phone to Pallavi so she could check the messages he sent.
Pallavi not being typical "I-trust-you-no-need-to-check" ITV wife and taking it casually to see the messages.
Pallavi actually questioning why on earth Esha didn't let Raghav know right away that their phones got swapped.
The way Raghav muh-phulaaoed after their argument and threw a tantrum "Agar kisi ko merese aise ladna hi hain toh accha hain main wapas hi na aaye". These two have decided to everything during their bedtime except for what some of us want them to do 😳
That phone conversation and Raghav taunting himself was excellent because the emotional part of my brain would've bashed him left right and center if he hadn't picked up her call out of grudge.
I'm STILL wondering how bandookwali ACP behen became ACP with such horrible shooting policies and unprofessional and unethical attitude. She refused to help Pallavi because RR broke her heart by not stopping the transfer, oh the pain🥺 A moment of silence for this behen pliss.
So Raghav does the human thing to do during this whole strike and lockdown of sorts, and puts aside his khunnas to help Esha. I see where this is going but I'm not going to react. Nope. I'm trying to achieve the Zen state and nothing can mess with that. Not even Sicku and Esha. NOPE NAHI HURR PHURR.
Things we want: RaghVi long drive.
Things we are getting: Raghav chasing Mr. Random Guy to save Eshaaaaaaaa.
Zen. Zen. Zen.

The precap: I felt bad for Sunny. Poor guy was enjoying muft ka soup, now he has to bhatko with Pallavi to look for Raghav in those andheri galiyon mein?😭
Esha looks intoxicated: I am assuming she has a few drinks or something to numb the injury pain?
It's good that she confessed her feelings for Raghav, because now he's at least fully aware of where she stands. It's such a pain to see leads being clueless when the third person pines over them and eventually tries to sabotage the leads' relationship.
One thing is for sure. Raghav DOES NOT initiate the hug and nor does he reciprocate it (at least not in a romantic way). He looked very uncomfortable and reminded me of the time when the "Chipku Ladki" Amruta used to hit on him 😆 Pallavi will probably enter when Esha is latkoing Raghav ke gale se, although I'm not sure how the room is left unlocked but logic bhool bhool so.
The RaghVi scenes in this episode makes up for a lot of the mess today. My only wish is they continue to communicate not matter how bad the EshGu angle seems like to either one of them. Every time they stop communicating (talking but also listening to the other person), chaos ensues. Even if they fight, they need to talk it out.
