First thing first - I really admired your take on episodes (specially yesterday and today's) Goddy and Phoenix. You guys have eyes for details. I enjoyed reading your banter  I watched a few scenes again after reading your analysis and found them much more enjoyable then. So, Thank You both!!

Since you have covered all the important aspects of the episodes; I'll as usual only share my thoughts and ranting (no new info) 
As you all pointed out, Faltu's birthday was not given its due. I wonder what was the necessity to waste such a potential plot, other than solidifying Faltu's mom's reformation (which was already established); as they didn't achieve anything out of it. The fire incident already confirmed the Ittarpur family's forgiveness. They should have left it to that or extended that to have heart to heart between Ayaan and Faltu's parents. But they missed another good opportunity for the future.
As one of you rightly pointed out, they could have easily shown Ayaan and Faltu mom's bonding over Faltu's birthday cake baking, instead they totally wasted screen space by showing Mom Mittal's godforsaken face and Kanika-Tanu's useless phone call. I almost choked on water when Kanika-Tanu made an announcement that Tanu is pure at heart; it's Faltu who is bringing the worst out of her. I was like; Yeh right!! - For innocent people, the thought of murder comes so easily  . Also in the same breath Kanika reminds Tanu to not "ger her hands dirty" as they have "people" for that. Please remind me which other innocent family talks like this!! Last time I heard these kinds of talks in gangster or cartel shows only; don't remember any family drama showing these kinds of "dining table talks" . Delusional these mom-daughter are

Oh Yes, daddy Mittal also had to make his grand appearance. Guess he is also making a side plan with Kanika. What happened to his faint heart and drinking problem.

Moving on.. Lead's are still trying to find their footing in romantic scenes. So nothing much on that. But I am glad that they are on the same page when it comes to Tanu (again as pointed out by you guys  ). Also liked how Faltu clarified that she used Pappi's name as a pretext. Guess his part is not coming next then.

Ayaan is still the optimistic one who assumes his mom is worried for him and the his parents will come around once they meet Faltu's family. And Faltu is still keeping her doubts (rightfully so) and she is not fully convinced of this idea. I would have been ok if Ayaan was making the family meeting plan all on his own. But here it looks like he is influenced by Tanu. On one hand he is suspicious of her but on the other hand he is just following what she suggested. He sometimes comes across as too naive  . I am still waiting for a big jolt for him to come out of his dreamland. Faltu and her promises need to slow down as well. Last thing we want for her is to solve Mittal family issues. It's not her (or even Ayaan's) mess to clean. Both need to focus on themselves first. Hopefully Sid and his mom will use their secret weapon soon and help Ayaan-Faltu come out of Mittal torture house. I am glad writers keep mentioning Cricket. But not sure if it's a reminder to viewers or to themselves

Story is moving forward a little too fast for my taste. I would have loved to see some earnest attempts by Ayaan to win the Ittarpur family's trust. But they made a medley of it. Guess they don't want to spend on two sets, so bringing everyone under one roof. I won't be surprised if Kanika is lurking around when the Ittarpur family reaches Mumbai. Tanu is anyways like a ghost who will remain in the Mittal house till doomsday. I am assuming the next few episodes will be heavy. Hope they will find a way to balance it. 
Did I mention Niharika has a beautiful smile which she doesn't get to use much often. Maker's are you listening??
