Hey,
The whole episode was good as usual but what really touched my heart was the hook-stitch scene. And here's why.
1. Asad did not react like a typical TV hero who looks at a little exposed heroine as though he has been given a testosterone injection.
2. Asad told Zoe with cool and calm authority to turn around and show him the broken hook.
3. Zoe did not look embarrassed or shy at all in the start and she cribbed to Asad about the hook as though she cribs to him everyday.
4. Asad - A MAN- stitched and made Zoe's zipper hook good. Its a big thing considering the male stereotypes , especially in India.
5. The chemistry and the arousal came in very subtly and that is what made it sexy. Actually, sensual is the right word. Zoe feeling the heat, closing her eyes and Asad's attention diverting from the hook a little was what made it realistic.Best part , Asad bit the thread off - he had no reluctance at all even though he understood the hormonal dives in Zoe.
6. The BEST part was the whole scene slipping from sensuality to emotion - you feel kind of proud of Asad when Dilshad tells Zoe that Asad can do all the thread and needle work because he has done this as a child - to support him Mom as they tailored clothes for people to have three meals.
7. Zoe was so proud of Asad.
The reason am giving this scene a special mention is because i want to applaud the writing. Very few screenplay writers have the craft of turning the scene at its pivot and take it to a totally different ending. This scene is an EXCELLENT example of it. From sensuality to proud sentiment.
APPLAUSE!
P.S- Asad-Zoe's "Jab main buddha ho jaaoonga" and "Jab aap motti ho jaayengi" convo was such innocent emotion - if only their destiny was just as innocent...
