This will rate among one of the better episodes till now...
1) No back and forth scenes between Dubai & RN...personally I found that experiment in the previous epis very disconcerting...you cannot have back & forth for pivotal scenes...yesterday's one smooth continuous scene allowed you as a viewer to sink into the environment created and really experience / absorb the emotions, point of views, dilemmas resulting in an impact which kept on building..
5) also liked that in the tension due to the letter, the point that gumaan had changed the merger date was mentioned but allowed to pass since saras had other things to discuss...loved monica's expression of shock at being caught out...very nice touch...maybe at a later stage LN will realize it was Gumaan who did this all along and may be the cause of him disowning her..
(smrth mentions that in the novel after saras leaves both LN & Danny disown Gumaan)
This explains the duality of how he can be a loving family man we have seen...but who also walked out of ratnagiri, refused to marry DB, married a more 'modern' guman, built a fortune and was an absentee dad for saras.
Maybe this also explains his estrangement with saraswati...she may have been a good woman, but was probably a Ratnagiri village girl and who could not match step with LN's ambitions or scale-up to his dreams...
Would love to see this track taken further a sa back story as to what was the reason for LN's estrangement...but looks unlikely, since saraswati is already deified now...they cannot show her as anyone less than the epitome of womanhood / motherhood who was wronged by LN (more like it was a one-way rather than a two-way street)...so full credit to chetan to get into the depth of LN and bring out this duality in great effect.
