What in the world has happened to the writers???

They missed the opportunity to fully use the nikah ceremony to boost up the Azaad-Mahira connection, instead they made it a spectacle of how black magic made a mockery of their union. Not romantic at all. No Qubool hai from Azaad.
Azaad seats himself, full of self doubt on his worth as a husband, but with honest intent of keeping her safe. From Amaad, from evil, from heartache. He knew he was marrying the love of his life.
But Mahira knows naught. She is full of tension under the veil, wondering who the heck she was marrying after Naser sahab came and confused her. At the moment of vows, Razia casts a spell that makes her ears hurt and ring and she misses the name of the groom and his vows.
Then she sits miserably in the bedroom, fully expecting the slimy Amaad coming to claim his prize. She cries and confesses that she does not consent to this marriage at all, but she was forced to give up her love for Azaad. I love him, and I always will...
And she turns to find Azaad.
What are you doing here?? You must leave before my husband comes! Go !
I am your husband Mahira...

Mahira tears into him.
<I mean how would you feel?? PLayed for a fool, tricked into marrying one slimy man, and then he was switched with the brute she loves that hurt her??.>
She distrusts him, calling him out for being part of the evil scheme Khan Begum is wreaking upon her. Pushes him away.
I love you Mahira. I really do. I was trying to push you away because I didn't deserve you. But now that you are mine, I shall protect you and keep you happy for always. I know you hate me, and I shall never force myself upon you...

Mahira rants.
But who are you to make that choice for me?? You knew you were marrying me, but I didn't !?! How dare you assume you can decide for me !!! How do I know I even married you!? I dont' trust you !
So Azaad walks out to get the nikahnama which they signed.
Elsewhere, Amaad sidles up to his bride and finds her coy and willing. It takes him by surprise but he accepts easily. She then stands and cosies up to him and swiftly stabs him until he falls flat.
Then she reveals her true face. Jhanjariya, better nknown as Afreen. The woman who came between the two brothers 4 years ago. She was with (married? perhaps) Azaad, and she cheated on him with Amaad.
Meow...

<Oh God... That Billo Rani music... gave me the heebie jeebies...>
I think she killed Amaad.
And she goes to plant herself in Azaad's bed...
because...
Precap:
Mahira confronts KB about the fact that Azaad is in fact in bed with a girl, someone claiming to be his wife, someone called Afreen...
KB is shocked...
What the bakwaas is this...
Not one, not two, BUt THREE vamps??
<Oh yeah, Sameer is Afreen's brother and errand boy. He collected the Saira Bano dolls for her and made Kainat do a marathon across the town to save villainous goons..>
and
...
POLYGAMY AGAIN !?!???
SERIOUSLY !??!
