The episode was kinda strange to me, it was good, but felt a bit unsatisfactory too.
1) Had some expectations on the 1st scene at the bedroom, it was too short for my liking, Pawan, the cutie was the highlight,. Ram doesnāt even ask why Pri canāt accompany him for shopping? How convenient!
2) Why are we returning to the days of shallow, canāt-see-beyond-her-nose Shivi? Akki is a big duffer, if he had taken Shivi back to Meeraās place, she would not have turned back to this version (I am trying to justify the character U turn)
3) Honestly, I canāt make anything out of Akki, if he wanted to advice Shivi, he should have done it in the privacy of his room, not when her obnoxious brother is around, even then he didnāt try enough. Also when did he became this cordial with Shubham? Last nightās humiliation of his jeeju didnāt leave any impact on him? Just nodding his head when his sister was taking class doesnāt make him a good person, Oh Yeah, I forgot, he is a character is an Ekta show, obviously he will leave any useful job to the FL.
4) My feeling of strangeness emerged in the bakery scene, there is something odd about Krish (not necessarily evil). Either he too had a crush on Priya or he heard Maitri saying about Priyaās crush and prodding Pri (or most probably both). And Priya, have we ever seen her initiating a joke, even when she was with her sisters? Yeah, sometimes time turns back when you are in the presence of friends from past, but we are told Pri was khadoos even in college, donāt know what makers are trying to establish by showing this side of Priya when she is with krish, isnāt she the one who never trust anyone easily. Never thought I would say this, but I miss khadoos Pri. Dear Ram, Pri wasnāt laughing at Krishās joke, she cracked a joke and then laughed with him. If they want to show Krish as thorn in RaYa relationship, they had a good starting point today, Krish commenting about Priās love and Priās non committal answer, Krish could take it as Pri not really be in love and just fulfilling responsibilities of marriage,
5) The new evidence Krish found, I donāt get it, if they forged Kumarās signature to transfer the shares to Shashiās name, whatās the need for Shashi to marry V? The current theory (of Krish) is that VK too was murdered because he was the second in command to Kumar and they both unraveled some malpractices of Babbars, but then where is the land encroachment coming into picture? Hope they have a solid story which covers all the open threads,
6) Ram & Sandy were the adorable duo, they have great chemistry, they literally give out the big bro little sis vibes, casually pulling each otherās legs, which actually lacks in Ram-Shivi interactions (even though they share good chemistry) because that relationship is too onesided. Sandy got over her RK crush, hence more comfortable with her JJ (it obviously helps that she has a new crush š»). NMās acting when Ram raises his eyebrow at Sandy when she blurts out about nakli bill was top notch, I somehow always feel it takes more effort to impress in a playful scene than a in an emotional scene,
7) The most hated scene, Shashi & MS, the actor playing Shashi felt like a Oscar winner when he was next to MS, whose only acting prowess is widening his eye. Shashi has plans to divert the suspicion on someone else (it canāt be V as her father too died, must be my darling Nandu then) and I felt MSās plan is to kill off Pri, he gave me that kind of vibes today. Will it be the role reversal where Ram gets in the middle?
8) Pri says she will respect Ramās decision and stop the investigation if thatās what Ram wants, I donāt know, either she wonāt be able to talk to Ram about it because of other reasons or something else (like another murder attempt) would happen which would make the discussion unnecessary.
Precap: I think Ram will be upset with Pri, but he wonāt reprimand her in public.
