OK, finally found time to write, too late I know but I want to rant. Phew, this is going to be a long one.
First of all, everyone is confused about how the guy got up from the bed saying he'll talk to Imlie reached her the next morning nahaake in a new outfit. Main kehti hoon they wanted this thing to happen on Diwali day so they let that night be and subah subah shuru kardiya.
But my main concern is the discontinuity from the previous episode's Imlie's scene to today's. She ran to get the phone obviously and what happened next is the question. She definitely didn't give it to anyone including Rupi cuz everyone was clueless in the morning. So she either took it to a cell point ya she left it there losing all hope that nobody is going to believe her anyway. Jo bhi hai why isn't Rupi asking for her phone? She will after Imlie leaves most probably and find it too if Imlie left it.
The only thing I found off throughout the episode was Imlie sitting and jalaaoing diya ready hoke. She said bhakti ki parkisha loge? She was still holding on to her SM so sitting next to her and lighting diyas, ok but why is she staying there, what is her next plan? no clarity. I'd say she is already broken and doesn't know what else she could do, hence asking SM for help.
Here I understand that everyone things Imlie leaving would be burayi leaving according to her prayer but I feel that is not the case. See things don't happen how we want them to happen. I see it this way - she wanted achhayi ka subh kadam aisan padi hai ki burayi ghar se hamesa hamesa keliye door chali jaaye. So if achhayi ka subh kadam padna needs Imlie to leave, so be it. Only her leaving will make Adi face reality and somehow fix things (I don't think he's going to investigate and, he'll only believe when he sees the proof), only her leaving will pull him out of his comfort zone to confront M. I'd say even if he knew the truth since Imlie is with him, he'd downplay it just to avoid confrontation with M giving the baby excuse. Don't come at me, he did exactly this when she showed him the video. So, what Imlie asked for will happen but not on her own terms but according to how SM pleases.
Back to A-M scene, why were his eyes tearing up when M said she's going to take the baby away? I have a feeling that she's going to stay here until PF which will be at the end of the week or next week (my 2nd mind says it'll happen after 2 or 3 weeks). This hypocrite, whenever M accuses Imlie only says "aap galat samajhrahi hain Malini" zyaada se zyaada a rude "excuse me" which se ghanta farak nahi padega to M while whenever Imlie accuses M, OTT body movements and performance deta hain and bolta hain tum M se toh nafrat hi karte ho. Now if anyone says he was always like this with Imlie, I disagree cuz that behaviour was only about him and his selfish needs, never about M. Here, he's been humiliating her for accusing M (although driven by self-preservation) and has the gall to tell her in front of everyone that "jab bhi malini ne tumhare against kuch kaha humne unhe bhi chup karaya hai, humne tumhare khilaf malini ki koi baat kabhi nahi maani" - yes badi meherbani kiya hai babusahib aapne. How come you maanoed now? Yes, he did believe her. Him not saying it out loud doesn't change anything. It is a black and white issue and him not agreeing with Nishant & Rupi when they said Imlie par bharosa rakho proved it, him questioning her proved it, and him having no reason to maano Imlie's baat proved it.
He doesn't have a reason to believe Imlie. He is confused and utterly clueless that he chose to believe Imlie because he had to, again for self-preservation. He had to make a choice now and he'd rather choose Imlie even though she's not right cuz he just wants to end this and he wants Imlie to be with him. He can sort it out with M later. So why did he even question her if that is the case? His distrust made him question her for one last time. He's ready to accept (not believe) whatever she says irrespective of it being true/untrue. If she said yes, he'd bash her and if no, he'd stay silent still believing M in his mind.
His dialogues were too clear this time to me at least. He said baat hamari soch ki nahi hain ma - meaning what I think is irrelevant, I want Imlie to say yes or no (if this is black and white, his trust is too), I want her to tell me for one last time SACH KYA HAIN = KYA MALINI SACH KEHRAHI HAIN = KYA TUMNE HI GOLI CHALAYI HAIN. And whatever she says, I'll believe. That is actually not an "and" but a "but". I want to know the truth but I'll finally accept whatever she says iss baar. Too clear that he wants to end it once and for all even though he doesn't believe that that is the truth. THAT is exactly why she smiled in utter resentment and said kya baat kahe... truly heartbreaking. And oh boy is he obtuse! He is utterly clueless about how he broke her with that one question and continues with his obtuseness to say she's making a mountain of a molehill!!! Oh Adi, I pity you. But there's more! He said "toh abhi bol bhi toh sakti ho na" - meaning now you say it and I'm going to accept it. The guy is having a stroke man🤣 by each passing second.
Then came the actual question, "AAP HOTH KAUN HAIN". Everyone was shocked and Adi froze. The girl's pain is so tangible and overwhelming. Her reminding him of all the incidents she didn't believe him showed how he's been slowly breaking her and yet again, his entitlement had the better of him.
Her saying "why should I daalo this bhoj on you after explaining so many instances, isse bhi bada kareki hui haina" is the question of what action by Imlie will make him really believe, not this meherbaani acceptance. He remained silent cuz he doesn't know what will make him believe cuz he chooses not to.
Well, it ended there but I'm sure the still ignorant pati said something again which unfoiled the events in the precap.
He broke her. That one question was enough. Some say it is just a question that he shouldn't have asked. Agree, but the subject and the object matter the most. The subject is his wife who accepted the rape child and let his rapist stay with them, and the object is his rape child's life.
This was the biggest sacrifice Imlie did, bigger than giving her husband away to M. Despite knowing that he doesn't believe her, despite him deleting the evidence, despite knowing that he is responsible for all of what happened, she accepted his decision of taking the baby's and the rapist's responsibility. This was extremely hard for her and they emphasized it enough multiple times since the beginning when she prayed to SM to give her the strength to handle this. AFTER doing all of this, THAT question TO HER is not just a question that he shouldn't have asked.
A simple analogy: You lie to a liar, no faraks to give. You lie to a friend, pay a small price. You lie to the judge in a courtroom, you will be imprisoned. The standards change, and anything done to Imlie is held to the highest standards.
The guy is shell-shocked, won't stop her, can't stop her and she's not stopping. I don't know for how many days this separation lasts but this is not like every other time she left.
