The gist of today's episode is going to be Babita's compensation for mistakenly forgetting Minnie's birthday. Again, I don't think it's that great of a deal but since the writers want to run with this, so shall I.
As we saw in the precap and previous interview segments, all is seemingly fine between Babes and Minnie. Babes bakes her special cake, helps her put on the anklets she had bought for Minnie, and they both once again run around laughing and teasing each other like they used to.
However, as Naeem Bi will rightly point out, these materialistic objects and momentary happiness isn't going to mend the cracks that have formed between their relationship. Babita cannot treat Minnie like a child anymore. She is an adult now and as such, Babita's relationship with her needs to grow.
Previously, Babita used to share all her sorrows and griefs with Minnie, and she used to take care of her. Minnie would put aside her own problems because she knew that rather than helping her find a solution in a calm manner, Babes will freak and stress herself out. However, this behavior can't continue forever.
Now that Minnie has entered into adulthood, she'll need guidance on how to exist in this level of the world not only as an individual but as a woman as well. She needs to feel comfortable enough to go to Babes and seek out for help whenever she may need it, regardless of the nature of her issue. Whether it's a fight between friends, complications in her love life, or even how to deal with hard individuals in the work force, Minnie needs to know that she is free to go to Babes. It's not necessary for Babes to hold the answers to all her questions. But the mere fact that Minnie can even go to her in the first place, if only to vent out her frustrations, will be more than enough for her.
Regardless of the parent, whether it's a mother or a father, every child needs to have this security that they can go to either one of them whenever they feel down or lost. They don't need to take on the world all on their own. They can ask for help when they don't know what to do. For Minnie, this is extremely important since she has been taking on the world for the past one year. She needs to realize that she doesn't need to do that anymore. That phase in her life is now over. She's free to come to her Babes and cry her heart out, or seek her support when she wants to pursue her dreams.
It's the emotional connection that Babes needs to rebuild with her daughter, not fleeting moments of happiness. After all, what's the point of them when they're not genuine or will be susceptible to be looked upon in a negative light?
I do hope Babes realizes this sooner rather than later.
Let's see what today's episode has in store for us.
Hope you all enjoy. <3
