Have developed a splitting headache after watching today's epi... So shall pitch in later. Need some perspective from lest I again end up ranting. There's something so counter-productive in that, which I dislike. Privately mortified that I would succumb to such for the sake of a tv show. No more. Scout's honor =)

Cheers for the weekend. It shall provide respite to retract and assimilate prior episodes with the benefit of hindsight. This is the point where I would verily disassociate & seek solace elsewhere (MZZB of course, smrth Bhai!) but I've reset expectations to bare minimum now. Continued low depths shall bother me no longer. For the first time, in ages, I've grabbed a bucket of popcorn, popped a can of coke, have reclined my seat, and am munching away. Still riveted. There's perverse fascination in watching spectacular Titanic steadily submerge, I have to admit 😎

Arshi, I am torn...

Cant decide who is more bonkers,

the Desais or the Dharamadhikaris? or me...🤢

Cannot see why I am watching this...(leaving aside force of habit)

Imagine, if todays episode of SC was the only one you ever saw, say while surfing the channels, having newly arrived from Mars, say...what wd you think? Wd you say "ah this looks interesting, need to watch this show and discuss it threadbare every night...???" 😆

a. overdressed women/girls cheerleading daughter living with abusive husband

b. rona-dhona of parents/bua (next to the tulsi in the aaangan, of course)

c. oath taken by tikka-bearing ganja-wearing guy in middle of pond

d. roadside knife-wielding dakus in precap... mangalsutra caught in mid-air by hero(Rajnikant fan!?)

Obviously, Not.

And that is what we have come down to...

Hgg,

Assessment on two fronts. Kumud's character sketch- its plausibility. And VC's response. Since we are debating later, I will try to relate this with the elapsed script.

You say- VC should do more for her, like what he has done for Dukh baa. What would he do now? A la Sahas rai, he should get Pramaad arrested and rectify the misjudgement as DV is involved. You are right HGG, he should and he will. Why! He may even 'murder' him for all rage it may provoke in him- his most precious child. But Hgg, do they know DV is involved?? Not only DV- a raging extramarital affair for that matter!

At this point only information they have is this. 'He is taking alcohol'. And his sentence before he passed out," Kumud You are all 'Drama". So can he order her back on 'alcohol' charges? Notice, Kumud's noncommittal, no promise ( 'wily' cvs😲 ) is keeping actual seriousness 'hidden' from him.😲 Even Dukhbaa is not sharing whatever extra information she has had ( and even she does not have it all). So on what premise would he interfere at this point? Only alcohol? Hgg, as you know, viewer's 360 D view is sometimes misleading. But I have more faith in your analytical power. If possible see the episode once more, 'objectively' as a plausible narrative.

As for first part; Kumud's character sketch, it still has plausibility. But where it is lacking is in Saras's.🤢

Hgg, for all probs and asks...she reports, ' I am fine and I am married.' Market has also shared only alcohol ' no Padma' ' no Kalika' and ' no DV'. And since we were charging him for a non action over 'Dv' only- where probs and asks are rendered futile, I am not able to see him more enlightened even in a village where logically he should have run after his Damad on 'cold drink' errand by 4.30. And if not then at least by dinner time. So let us overlook this 'generic' inconsistencies at the moment.😆
