Made me envision the epi as "Saraswatichandra, Chipmunk Style" though I can for sure imagine that even as a chipmunk, Pramad wouldn't be any more ani-mated.
Three points:
Why is Kusum back? Major. It shuts off the avenue of maiika for both the Desai daughters now. Plus, easy access. It also sets up Kusum as possible/foremost Pramad-Kalika pawn.
Prepare for Saras and Kumud to be at loggerheads regarding Pramad. I saw some epi pictures on Twitter... Aanshul Trivedi seems as one-expression, as before. Pity with all the unwarranted screenspace. A more nuanced actor here, could have utterly captivated the audience... As he pretended to be 'good'... By making a checkerboard of 'white & black' into his character sketch. That would have been a TREAT to watch. Pramad's one expression is so patented that it has become a joke... Because whilst watching him, I in any case, end up mirroring my expression, with his: W*F, right through. Our 'Dance' 😳
A FF superfast epi today, means that Friday's spoiler has also been played out. So let us see, tomorrow will confirm whether to what end the two weeks worth were released. Looks like this indeed will be over within a week... Pramad's time to meet his Maker, coming near maybe? 🤔
P.S. Alakh's also become a caricature. Pity. She was such a powerful figure in the source. Here, the CV's perpetually have her up on a podium... Bhashan only, no action. And whatever action she attempts, is shot down by patriarchy. BD, you shouldn't have thought of your 'image' today, esp not ahead of the one you call 'daughter'. First strike for BD, thus & an utterly regressive message posted out.
Edit: I also wonder if ki ab se Pramad baba ki bottle band? If they show him completely leaving alcohol, in just one epi (the compulsive drunkard that he is) then it will be stretching disbelief and creative liberty to the point where it breaks. Also, if so, Saras oughta think of patenting & marketing that wondrous 'paper'... LN se zyada paise kamaye ga... AA ka toh existence hi mitaa dega... Apne baare mein bhi kuch socho Saras dikra, Harvard dimag lagao, business opportunity dikhi che? 👍🏼
