Okay behenas, here is my view of the episode.
Firstly, Imlie wasn't crying for Aditya. She is just crying because this is becoming a relentless cycle of losing out on everything that matters to her. She has adjusted to the loss of love, marriage and also illegitimacy, but come on, at least one victory she has asked for herself, and she needs it because somewhere her confidence in her abilities and her self worth is involved. So she needs that win to finally rest easy in that thick skull that believes in the notion of burai par achchai ki jeet. But she is so stupid that she doesn't understand any other means of approaching the issue apart from one approach. Along with her reduced self esteem and self respect, her brain has also stopped functioning.
Secondly, Aryan is not stupid. He needs to think like Malini to tackle Malini because Imlie is a nincompoop like her idealistic ex-husband. When it comes to tackling anything which involves her loved ones, her brain goes into yognidra. Aryan is a player and he knows how to play well. So I am confident he has some other move up his sleeve.
Thirdly, I still have no clarity where is this stupid PF is headed. But I was clear that when Imlie hugged Aryan, that was indicative of the next torturous episodes to follow. 🤣Its become a pattern with Atif. Really.😆
I just hope that just like Imlie found her closure in PD with Aditya alive and trying to move on from a failed relationship, she will also find some closure by helping the family where she found a roof once upon a time. And keep her distance from them. Cause there is a pattern in this. Whenever Imlie's impulse puts her on the cliff of insanity, she does fall into the valley of sanity and clarity. Her trauma is deep, and she has a lot of pain within her. But ek jeet se uska pain agar kam ho sake aur usko Malini ke wajah se jo tolerate karna pada, Tripathis ko protect karke usko woh satisfaction mile ki she has finally restored those losses with one win then I am okay with it. Atleast someone doesn't lose something precious like she did. She will feel relief in some way.
Okay, back to hovering.😎
