I also wonder if it will also be a wakeup call for Durga. Probably not, as she will just blame Soni for Veer's death, but that would be such a stretch that I don't know if I or anyone else could stomach it. She knows Cherry sent those goons after them so I just can't see how she could STILL find a way to blame Soni. But knowing her, she doesn't need a reason. I can't decide whether I want Cherry to unmask Durga or the other way around. One way or another I want them both exposed.
I think this really had to happen. Soni was never going to toughen up on her own. She had already had so many opportunities and incidents that should have made her a stronger person, and this was really the only thing left that could have happened. Soni will not open her mouth to defend herself, but she certainly won't tolerate anyone hurting Veer.
