Like she was yesterday when she bailed out Jyoti, Poonam again made sense today, and Deepu again was his stubborn self.
Sushma's medical expenses are Rs16k, and Jyoti is @ a loss to take any advance. So Deepu tells her not to shoulder the entire burden herself, and that he would take an advance from his office and support it. Poonam tells him that his reputation will be ruined if he keeps taking advances, and suggests that she take cash from her dad. This rubs Deepu the wrong way, and Poonam confronts him and asks him how is his solution better than what she is offering. He leaves in disgust.
By the end of the show, Sudha is left bailing them all out. So the Sharmas can't borrow/take money from the Trivedis, w/ whom they still have a good relationship, but they can take money from the Vashisths, whom they loathe. Someone explain that to me again? Although I don't like CM, I wouldn't mind her rubbing it in that the Sharma's managed to get that parasite daughter of theirs, whose identity they concealed from them, treated due to this same family underwriting her medical bills.
Almost all members of this dysfunctional family seem demented, and the ones who aren't i.e. married into it, are summarily ignored.
