So it is Christmas Day and we are handed this episode on a plate. Personally I am disappointed with it and hence only watched once and am giving you an abridged version. Nothing to write home about, I'm afraid.
The episode opens with Kokila and Gopi at the foot of the temple. Kokila lectures Gopi that she did not know Paridi's true colours before but now she does and knows that Paridi is incapable of being truthful. Gopi on the other hand is trying unsuccessfully to convince Kokila. Kokila is having none of it. She lectures again and flounces off.
Gopi stands in front of the temple, speaks to her kanaji and implores her idol to help Paridi just as he helped her.
Paridi is in her darkened room and is worried. She laments that now that things are going well for her, something has come to ruin it all. She switches on the light and is shocked to discover photos of her and Vivan (seriously? A better name would have been better) all over the bedroom. Paridi is angry, even more so as Vivan emerges from the bathroom, towel in hand. Paridi argues with him in all manner of things and declares that she loves only Jigar and that he should not come near her. Vivan cajoles and goads her, speaking of the past and how well she has done for herself. He threatens that he will uncover her past to the family and she will be left with nothing. He shouts that he loves Paridi. She warns him off and tears the photos, he holds her, they scuffle and a vase falls and breaks.
Kokila is passing by the room, hears the vase drop and thinks she hears voices. She knocks on Paridi's door. Inside Vivan goads Paridi to open the door.
Paridi opens the door, faces the usual questions from Kokila, gives her some random answers and takes an earful from Kokila about her character, behaviour etc and leaves. Paridi looks around the room and wonders where Vivan went. He comes through the window. She hustles him out of the room, shuts the door and gathers all the photos, puts them in the waste bin and sets fire to them declaring the she only loves Jigs.
There is another knock on the door. Paridi moves the waste bin out of the way with much care and opens the door to the children and Gopi. The children remind her that she was going to help them make their costumes for the party. Gopi says that they will all help.
Gopi, Jigar, Paridi and the kids are in the room making costumes. Jigars asks Paridi to pass the glue but she is in her own world, with her worries and does not move, eventually Meera passes over the glue. Vidya begins to fall asleep so Gopi tells her and Meera to go to bed as it is late. The boys too settle in the bed. Jigar packs away and thinks that Paridi is worried about something and he must get to the bottom of it.
At some point-in the morning- I think, Jigar and Paridi are in the hall and Jigar is speaking to her and wipes away a tear. Vivan is in the background and is looking on in anger.
Pre cap. Vivan corners Paridi in the garden and warns her to keep away from Jigar because if she does not then it will not be good for her. Radha is hiding listening to the conversation
