1) Divorce is no joke. Puttar is an idiot for thinking his walking away will take away her problems when he's literally leaving her in the rink to deal with it on her own. Especially since he's been through a nasty divorce...and they've both been through such grave emotional turmoil not only in their past relationships, but their own. I get sacrificing for the one you love, but he's running away and that just doesn't sit well with me. It's one thing to walk away, but it takes guts to stay during the tough times. Anyway, this has been discussed at length.
2) The handling of the transition from yesterday to today. I didn't mind the first few minutes of the episode, but as soon as Ishita got those divorce papers, the story suddenly turned illogical and callous. There was zero emotion. Ishita was not given the time to process the gravity of her husband handing her divorce papers. I wish they would have just given her 2 minutes to feel before switching to JKR mode. I get being angry, but I missed the love and devastation...I missed her trying to figure out what could have driven him to take such a drastic step - to not only leave her behind, but Ruhi, whose custody they'd just won not 2 days ago. If they were going to drag the airport reunion, I would have rather they used the time on exploring the emotions rather than wasting it on Ishita's one on one with the Delhi police.
3) The use of the ambulance to cart them to the airport really bugged me. It's not a joke. I thought it was really callous on the part of the CVs. I'll keep my anger about this on a tight leash before I get carried away.
4) I didn't appreciate the OTT drama and high-speed chase today. I missed the emotional connect. I couldnt' even connect to My Puttar's dard-e-judaai today...that says it all.
I leave you with two songs, which portray the emotions I would have liked to see from Ishita & RKB today:
Ishita: Hum Tere Pyaar Mein Saara Alam - Ghar ek Mandir
panchhi se chhudakar uska ghar, tum apne ghar par le aaye
ye pyar ka pinjara man bhaaya, hum ji bhar bhar kar musakaye
jab pyar hua is pinjare se, tum kahne lage aazaad raho
hum kaise bhulaye pyar tera, tum apni jubaan se ye na kaho
ab tumsa jahaan me koi nahi hai, hum to tumhare ho baithe
tum kahte ho ke aise pyar ko bhool jaao, bhool jaao
hum tere pyar me sara aalam kho baithe
Raman: Main Tujhe Chod Ke - Trinetri
Jab tak sajegi sanso ki saragam
Tere hi nagme gata rahunga
Yaado ko teri dil se lagake
Sapano me tere aata rahunga
Mai jism hun tu jaan
Honge kabhi na juda
Maine jo vade kie
Unako nibhaunga mai
Aise na ansu baha
Hans ke mujhe kar vida
Tera yah chehara ki hassi
Kaise bhulaunga mai
Kaise sahunga dard e judai tere bina
Mai kaise rahunga
PS: I vote for Doc writing a proper "ishita receives divorce papers" scene with all the feels that were missing today. 😉
