Okay, unpopular opinion, but I liked the episode on my first watch, because for a change it was damn fun for me to see the battle of wills we got between these 2. Dono ek dusre ke bina reh nahi sakte, lekin will show tashan as if I do not care what the hell happens to you. Today's situation had Imlie to blame as much as Adi. Imlie ne apne ego main sab jala diya to make a point that these symbols which she was holding on to with vishwaas that Adi will do right by her were burnt in an act of defiance - it is somethng one does to prove a point, which had the required effect. For Adi it was almost like she was negating their entire journey just on the basis of her zid, which made him even more adamant to prove that he can very well let her go on teh assumption that him warning her that he will not come after her would make her stop, not understanding how much she was just done with the entire situation.
I still feel that the T family was sweet - hypocritical, but sweet (maybe just me, but honestly these people have been hypocrites from the very start, so none of it surprised me). Their entire focus shifted from the GB to now Ghar ki Lakshmi and that was so funny to watch. Will they call out Malini for lying - I don't know. Maybe like Adi they will also chalk it upto her being delirious when the incident happened to not remember who actually shot her - kamzor kali ko shaayad memory loss ho gaya🤣.
But what was really the biggest irony and hilarity in the episode was the utter irrelevance anyone paid to the injured bachche ki maa and her Amma. Matlab wahaan pe MC ki amma was holding on to MC ka bojh, while she was trying to be a part of the drama by giving her fake lines of "Imlie tum mat jaao" aur koi usse ghaas chodo, koi usse acknowledge bhi nahi kar raha tha and that just made me laugh.
Matlab for everyone assuming that they're separating because of Malini, they have come to this point because of her interference, she won this daav and all that crap - let me clarify. Imlie and Adi went their separate ways because of their ego. Both feel they were the ones that fought to keep this relationship against all odds. Both feel their sacrifice has gone unnoticed. Both took the other's presence in their life for granted. Both behaved like pigheaded people. So this separation in only on them - no third person could ever have done what happened between them today, because their relationship is such that for it to be affected, it has to be the both of them to hurt it - no third person could ever do anything. While I agree that Malini played a catalyst, but IMO, their relationship had become toxic over all this time because of unresolved issues. Again I am saying the relationship - not only Adi or only Imlie, but what was between them was being affected too much by external factors for them to actually be able to live that relationship. The amount of baggage there was - the parents approval (which made a dent despite everything being hunky dory now), Malini's presence, Imlie's vishwaas more on the rishta than the marriage, their underlying trust issues (again from both ends with valid factors) and most importantly - how this relationship started. This reset was needed and I stand by the fact that things will only get better and the story will move ahead with the both of them. This never was meant to be Imlie's solo journey like many of the FD asked - it was always meant to be their story. So mere hisab se - jub tak happy's ending's nahi dikhate hai, picture abhi baaki hai mere dost.
