I saw the Episode and think this was the right way forward in a lot of ways.
The makers have been alluding to this since a long time ago. during the Kidnapping of Imlie, when Imlie returns , The entire family is with Imlie, while M and Adi are on one side, with Adi walking towards Imlie... further evidence of this came throughout Dasara for us... we have to remain strong was uttered in so many different ways. During the gruhapravesh of Imlie, Adi wasn't kidding when he said if we ever go of course, our family will make us see reason and the right path. with their support we will get everything.
and boy did the makers deliver. and how.
ST was amazing and so was everyone else.
Adi has always been a person who kept his personal belief to the side and goes for evidence. which is why Imlie has never been able to do a one up on M.
Adi even went to the medical store during Rakhi Episode, though he knew Imlie will never do such a thing as give wrong or expired medicine.
Him Questioning Imlie was hence in line with his character graph. Haan... the words used could have been different. ST was amazing and when Aparna and Rupi come to her, they know Adi is wrong and that Imlie is broken from the inside. Her "aap kaun?" as whatever ji mentioned is still ringing in my ears and Adi's stricken face in my eyes.
Tomorrow is going to be another watch worthy episode. to tell you the truth, I havent been watching the past few episodes since it doesn't agree to my sensitive disposition (Sookshma samvedanege aag baralilla).
Precap, was also symbolic. Imlie burning her mangalsutra poignant.
