RES...Because JKR is making her presence felt and I can't wait for her RKB to join her!
---EDIT---
G- love the GIF! Karen Walker can snark like nobody's business... she snarks like I wish I could- and I love you for using her!
The episode: JKR was ON today and I am very happy... thus far in their encounters before SHADHI moved in Shagun got a small taste of the lectures and waning Ishu can dole out... today she got a glimpse of the real deal. And she thinks she can take her on? Does she know the saying about waking a sleeping lion(ess)?
As for Shagun's 'points' about Raman not saying ILY and her so called trump card..
Shagun's biggest weakness has always been her huge ego and the many., many ways in which she underestimates Raman. Does she really think that the words make it 'real'? Of course ISHRA are craving to create that perfect moment- but that doesn't mean that they don't know. That they aren't secure in the knowledge of the other's love. Adhi may be Raman's weakness but as we saw two days ago Raman is no longer ignorant of the manipulative power of that love and what it does to him. He is past 'Adhi ke liye'... Raman recognized now where he is and who he is in terms of Adhi ... he is just trying to smoothly transition into becoming who he wants to be for the sake of Adhi, ISHRU and their future together. RKB is no longer weakened by that love .. he has found the strength to get through the weakness and past the shackles that it holds on him and is well on his way to becoming indomitable once again. And knowing that ISHRU are paying the price for his weakness- that will be the trigger for him to finally shake free of said shackles.
But I suppose someone with the mental capacity of a gnat can't understand such complex emotional processes.
As for the precap..
I don't even know what to say to this.. ridiculous. Regressive, archaic 'I know it exists but do you all have to take it this far' B/S.
Toshi needs a wake up call. But Ishita is not the person that should give it to her.
All she needs to say is :
And move on.
We all know this is happening because Toshi is counting on the same factor that Shagun is ... Ishu's goodness. Because she would certainly never be able to even think about asking the same of her daughters if they were in said situation. Ishita needs to take a firm stand and say no and leave. No simpering or coddling - just No. "She is my daughter , she asked me, the only reason she is in this home is because of me, the only reason she is in your life is because of me... so No." And leave.
The only reason I don't want a big JKR style reckoning to shower down on Toshi is because I think that should come from Raman. This actually goes back to a discussion I had with my best friend regarding how they handle parental conflicts in her relationship- basically when it comes to each other's parents and issues of conflict the child is the one that deals with their parents, lest it becomes a 'who are you to talk to me like that' conversation/ thought process.
And I subscribe to that avenue of thought. Irrespective of this issue Ishita & Toshi have a good relationship and I feel like if Ishita went on full JKR mode it could turn that relationship on its head somewhat...especially considering Toshi's head space right now. So Raman is the one that needs to give his mom a wake up call. He needs to spell out all the mistakes in her way of thinking, how it's affecting Ru, how it's affecting him and his relationship with his girls and the future he envisions with both his kids.
This kind d of 'crash landing to reality' speech needs to come from Raman...once he finds out. Til then though Ishita has to take a soft but firm stand... to find that happy medium between JKR and Ishita and make her voice heard. Because Toshi already has a snake and her spawn whispering in her ears and the voices are overtaking her common sense! 😡
Having said all that:

#12 regular episodes until ISHRAnniversary ... and all I want is for ISHRA to fund a mini vacation for SHADI & Toshi in one room!🤢
