Quick recap -
Jai is waiting with his vidhi and jai mugs for vidhi to come learn driving with him.
Vidhi and hubs are enjoying their morning. Dev teaches her the basics of getting comfortable in a car, how to use the mirrors and all. She gets in and is about to put the seatbelt on when dev pouts - he is like you took away a perfect opportunity from me to get close with my wife, flirt a little. Vidhi immediately complies - and is like dev ji please help me put my seatbelt on đđđ she notices the manual gear and is like oh no whatâs this. She says jai had me drive an automatic car, and that was so easy. Dev is like itâs very simple- youâll be able to pick it up very quickly. The advantage is youâll be able to drive both a manual shift and an automatic gear car. Vidhi starts driving. Jai is waiting for her and call her, dev cuts the call.
vidhi is driving slowly and she is doing well. Jai calls again and dev tells her Jai is calling her - but his advice is donât pick up now, itâs your personal time and youâre doing something else. Vidhi doesnât pick up.
jai gets upset and throws the mugs.
Later dev and vidhi come back home and theyâre surprised to see jai there talking to chithra about their school days.
Chithra sees dev and vidhi and is like jai was her school mate.
Jai asks vidhi why she dint pick up his calls or texts - he was waiting for her. Vidhi remembers what dev told about boundaries - and is like I was with my husband, learning driving. Itâs not even 7 AM - itâs too early.
Dev is annoyed but is polite and asks him to have tea. Priya and abhi bring tea.
Sidenote everyone is way too well dressed for 7 AM. Esp priya - sheâs Wedding ready đ
dev pours a cup of tea for Jai, vidhi serves dev and herself. Dev tells jai that you look a little impatient the tea is hot take your time. Jai is like Iâm fast not impatient - I donât need time to understand a person or anything. He has been weirdly just staring at/observing vidhi all this while and dev has picked up on that. Jai points out to a chip jn the cup he has and implies a comparison between the cup and dev - taking a dig at dev. Dev says there is a lot of difference between people and a cup, and replaces his tea. Dev comments on the tea being weak and jai immediately jumps in and counters - surprising everyone. Dev again brushes it off.
There was something else that jai said that I dint understand. Everyone looked shocked and then jai laughs it off saying he was just kidding.
Jai asks vidhi to get ready and that heâll take her to work. Vidhi is like itâs just 7, too early for work. He says something about prepping for a meeting. Dev says she was pretty clear and that sheâll find her way to the office. Jai tries to make it seem like it was a test for vidhi whether she will be direct or not. He tells vidhi that Mr. Raichand wonât always be there to help her. Dev is like she wonât need me either, sheâs young, not stupid.
vidhi tries to get him to leave saying sheâll see him at work. Jai before leaving apologizes to deb about the accident. Dev says he understands that he just lost his dad and is going through some stuff and tries to advise him to not be so impatient. Jai tells him he doesnât need his advice.
Jai leaves and chithra sees him to the door - priya gets excited about a potential chithra-Jai pairing đ±đ±đ±
The family is having a good time talking about vishisht driving, and jai looks in, disappointed that vidhi chose to not come with him.
This whole sequence was well done - it was definitely a pissing contest from Jaiâs perspective - but dev was as cool as a cucumber - completely unfazed - he just observed jai and used this time to see what makes him tick. Jai just kept getting upset that he was unable to make a dent in devâs calmness.
later in the morning, dev is looking at some files when vidhi, ready for work comes and presses his shoulder. Dev pulls her on his lap and says he is proud of her for standing upto someone who was trying to dominate her. He tells her that no boss has the right up just show up at an employees house and pressurize them into going somewhere. She says that she gets her strength from him. they have a sweet moment.
Hamla have come to see Jai and HP very hesitatingly tells hai they donât want to do business with him. And that theyâre going into business with the Raichands. Jai tries to tell them wait for marketing etc etc. But bims stands her ground and says she doesnât want to work with them. I am super proud of bims, she was direct and no-nonsense. I see why dev says that there is a businesswoman inside Bims â€ïžâ€ïž
They leave. Jai is upset and is sure that it is Devs plan to keep vidhi and her family away from him đ€Șđ€Șđ€Șđ€Ș
precap - jai is upset and starts talking bad about dev - calling him as Buddha in front of vidhi
