One of the finest episodes which I watched today... in terms of writing, directing, acting and the gravity of the issue.
Mannat, with 50% ARSs DNA nicely trapped the Doctor!!! Her mannerisms were picked to the tee.. and she has really picked the best of both her moms!!!
I am wondering if Adnan was hinting at this Sherlock behaviour of Mannat 
First things first... Vikrant's mind is in a glitch. He wont rest or move ahead until and unless he says ILU. His restless energy, the bounce in his steps was so adorable... cutely done by Adnan...
Yet in spite of this teenager energy.... Vikrant knows what a difficult task it is that lays ahead for him (ably ingrained by Ronnie) he understands Neetu having issues with Mannat and he is willing to take the challenge head on... with her!!! The bit about finding answers about all the sawaals together was so heart warming... Mannat really needs someone like that... who doesn't abandon her at the first sign of trouble!!!!
I loved Neetu Mannat conversation... and I have said it earlier.... I have sympathy for Neetu.... she is a mom who is fighting for her love/ her son... whereas ARS is hell bent on killing Mannat and others just so that her past doesnt catch up on her and she gets to live the lavish lifestyle.
These two moms, who are harming their own children are coming from vastly different mindsets... the title of the show is Mannat... today's episode was on Neetu's maangi hui mannat in form of Vikrant, who she cherishes so much but her love for him is working against her rational mind 
Thats why when Mannat says 'meri maa mat baniye'.... it hurts her and Neetu and somewhere to the audience... 
Mannat confronting Neetu is what I always wanted to see... over time Mannat has become Vikrants BKB and today she fulfilled that role.... she knows the impact it will have on Vik and her immense love (which she has not accepted but probably noticed by Neetu .. atleast now) is keeping her from revealing the secret...
Mannat true to her spirit confronted Neetu but also gave a lot of hints on what would happen ahead.
She will lie for Vikrants sake... simply because she would not want him to suffer the same trials which she is facing.... she will also do anything to protect him and which could include leaving him forever. 
Mannat initially did not believe that Neetu could do this... so she was even more disturbed by the fact that Vikrant and her have a similar fate!!!! and she is too affected by this truth that she didnt even bother to ask Neetu why she is doing this.
... it might happen later when Mannat calms down.
Said it earlier... will do again...
Neetu is wrong in drugging him... but she comes from a place of mental disturbance... Neetu also realizes and regrets the choices she has made.... OG Neetu had her illness diagnosed... Hindi Neetu doesnt... ideally Mukta should make this a point to not take mental illnesses lightly. 
I loved how she softened a little when Mannat said 'meri maa mat baniye'... probably felt some kinship for the lovely girl standing in front of her.
I would love to see Neetu pleading to Mannat to keep quiet which I assume will happen tomm. and Mannat has already told her she doesnt want Vik to go through this.... so Neetu also has to understand Mannat wont snitch on her. 
Neetu was observing Mannat keenly and should realise now that Mannat is not her enemy but rather her ally!!!!
Watched it thrice already and still cant get over it!!!
there are so many nuances which I might catch later ....
New Director has slowed the pace... especially in scenes like this... which is so satisfying to watch!!!
