* big thing: ooooooh, prem tells veera that she is not worthy of nihaal. woot, woot, woot.
personally, i have no idea who is worthy of mr. mashed-potato-brain nihaal. but the thrill was in the sight of prem towering with a most gimlet-eyed look over snivelling vitchface and ... telling her off!! woot, woot, woot. now i can die in peace.. 🤣
the part that i liked the best? when vitchface tattle-tells on preet having lost his job 'cause of nihaal. the look on preet's face! my poor (god). and then, the way prem came to nihaal's defence -- ''he was only doing his job''. spot on, prem. have i mentioned how much i like boss-prem-with-a-brain...??? *thinking of going in for a hug before remembering who the heck this is!!!?? mr. epe-generator himself! ☢️ reminding myself to keep a saaafe distance... 😆*
the part that i liked the second best? the shot of prem and gayatri-mom waving vitchface good bye. c'mon! didn't they look like they were blissfully happy to have eliminated the possibility that vitchface would live with them??
* little thing: oh no, oh no, oh no! of all the things that got passed on from prem to heer when he had to .. uh .. disappear for a while, the thing that i most dreaded was his ability to do bhashans! argh, argh, argh! it's bad enough hearing prem do those i'm-a-granddad-from-zamindari-times bhashans. it's truly worse hearing heer do it!! truly! 😛
* big thing: in how many ways can we discover how large (god) preet's heart is? was soooo sweet the way he quickly assured nihaal that he understood perfectly what had happened? *and what a brilliant contrast the light in that smiling face was to the horrible sulk in vitchface's.. oh, where oh where has that blackhole gone, oh, where oh where, did it go??? 😆*
* big thing: y'know what? preet-lalit-juneja scenes rock - no, truly. they rock!
they rock as much as heer-lalit-juneja (henceforth, lj 😆) scenes rock. i think that we're all so used to seeing a i'll-do-anything-for-my-father relationship between prem-lj and harman-lj that it's refreshing seeing preet-lj scenes. which has a whole lot of love and is as real as the distance between two generations can get! what a heart-searingly lovely father-son relationship. and so what a lovely scene that was -- when preet manfully walks up to lj with the list, admits to not being his pb, crumbling the list and throwing it down. and i totally loved the way that lj took the wry and stern route of telling him he just can't quit, all the while, uncreasing the folds in that little list with loving fingers. that scene just made me want to cry.
i love preet-lj scenes. 'specially when they recall the past in such a sweet way. ''darkness can never fall on this house 'cause in the morning, there arise two sons and in the evening, there is a full moon.'' oh, the look of loving mischief in preet's eyes was incomparable! truly, truly -- all hail, (god) preet!
and while the whole chase, including prem, warmed my heart, the best part was how gayatri-mom was watching the whole scene - and for the first time in a long time, was laughing like she really meant it! gayatri-mom and her laughter is back! 🤗
* little thing: y'know? no matter how they can upset me with all their sloppy story-telling, i love the fact that prem never lets heer out of his sight for too long. and that heer does the same..
how sweet of him to go searching her troubled self out on the terrace. how sweetly he warned her not to tell lj 'bout his looking for a job. but, wait a bit! prem-heer are talking 'bout a company? for preet??!! woot, woot.
* prem-heer thing: no, i refuse to talk 'bout that little prem-ogles-heer and heer-dreams-'bout-prem segment -- i have an early morning class tomorrow people and i want to sleep!
well, except for two-three things. 🤣
one, ho! prem can't do a pooja without heer, huh? and if they're gonna be so pro-pah 'bout not being h&w, doesn't the girl deserve some privacy? the way he barged into her room, they might as well have stayed in the same room anyway! i mean, they walk-in-and-out of each other's rooms without a hey! they are constantly searching each other out. they are sooooooo colour-coordinating their clothes! i mean, for the last many episodes too! what the heck remains from the h&w list of things anyway??!
two, what the heck was prem doing messing with heer's stuff and getting his hands all messed up?? 😆 that was such a guy thing! just as ogling his wife drying her hair was.. 😍
three, the way that prem's hands spans heer's waist was... uh ... as sigh-inducing as the way that heer's hands rested on him. man, does heer have a lovely imagination! and i am convinced she got this intimate knowledge of how ... uh ...passionate prem can be from real-experience.
man, if they don't start showing some phlashbacks soon that tell us exactly how heer know what a mad, passionate animal prem is, i'm soo gonna to ... dump water on my tv-set instead of my head! 😆
* little thing: funny how the things 'bout h&w-dom that you obsess 'bout in glorious technicolour detail are just not things you care 'bout in the nihaal-vitchface relationship. 🤣
after nihaal's heroically (not!) telling off prem reprimanding vitchface for her stooooopidity and perfidy, vitchface gives him leave to sleep on her bed... somehow, i felt like nihaal looked. as if he was thinking - eewwww, what if some part of me ends up touching some vitchface part in my sleep? 🤣
* little thing: er... so was anyone else trying to supress a serious case of giggles at the sight of prem in the interview? and that too despite that lovely lavendar shirt with suit that he was wearing?
he had such a smugly confident look on his face! (or is that confidentally smug?!! 🤣) and the interviewers all looked so.... bechchara! 😆 i mean, i know the script says prem has to get the job, but really! it was like there was no competition. no choice. no nothing! 🤣
* little thing: but all my muffled laughter came to a rapid halt, when i (like prem) caught sight of that poor worried preet face waiting for his interview outside...
awwww! no wonder big brother prem instantly kicked into protective-mode. *how sweet!* but the interview's done now, no? whatever can he do?
*sigh* does this mean that we'll have some more i'm-inferior-to-my-pb moments from preet? *sigh, sigh, sigh* maybe both meher and heer can make preet feel better? *sigh*
highlight of the episode: oh, preet's face when he tells lj that there are two sons and one moon to vanquish the darkness of the jzoo. 'kay. the way heer imagines prem's eyes are loving hers.... wanna proof? check:
for what our brilliant genetic biologist kimz called the phhandooh phenotypes... someone give the girl a nobel prize! 😆
