Today, I really enjoyed the episode. Asad showed character growth. I have been cribbing for weeks that he hasn't voila the CVs throw today in. Any day where there is a visible change in behavior from Akdu I will count that as a positive.
The apology scene - I loved that scene. It showed the tension between both characters beautifully. Asad acknowledged Zoya as part of his family and even agreed that she may have proof that proved her point but you can't fault him for not believing her this time. Today, when Tanveer effectively outsmarted her a neutral in the situation would believe Tanveer just based on cold, hard facts. While I hated that Zoe had to apologize - it highlighted two things:
- She apologized solely for Asad and he knows it, and
- He winced when she did.
Asad was not happy that she was apologizing even though he asked her to. It could either mean that he believes but wished she had proof or that he already knows himself and is playing an elaborate game to trap Tanveer.
Dilshaad witnessed Tanveer's not so subtle smirk and was not happy that Zoe was apologizing. Maybe the women in the house will begin to notice BR a bit more carefully now.
Rashid overhearing Zoe apologizing was interesting. I wonder what role he is going to play.
