It is a tedious job to build them up again; they never quite shine. And the child's world is never quite whole again. It is an aching kind of growing."

RES- An entire episode simply made up of justifications of what is to come. Shagun is already obliterated by that slimy green muck- Raman just entered that muck , Ishita will too- soon. Where are the damn feels? I don't feel any today.
Let's look at things from Ruhi' perspective. Ignored for 6 yrs by her father, no clue about her biological mother- loving family- but craves for her parents love. Finds her family through Ishita. Has twice faced the fear of losing her family forever ( Both custody cases). Has a deep-seated insecurity that she will be abandoned again- but is time and again assured by both her parents that they would never do that to her. This assurance makes her confident- In front of Shagun and the world (Lohri incident). Now suddenly- the assurances seem void- She is publically, brutally abandoned by her parents-promises made are broken. She is shattered. How long can her 7 yr old fragile mind hold up against the mental case that her biological mother is? From where she sees it- she was abandoned by the one person she always stood by- for her brother. How will she ever forgive- and if she does forgive, how will she ever forget?
Where is the Raman who guarded something as sensitive, beautiful, essential in a relationship like intimacy? Especially after being betrayed by his ex? How is Ishita going to trust his romantic advances in the future? As per the CV's- through selective amnesia. Well- we viewers do not have that liberty of erasing huge chunks of what is shown to us. How do we see another romantic moment and not remember this one that was tarnished by the intent. The ends DO NOT ALWAYS justify the means.
Where is Ishita whose selfishness made her run away. How did she give up on her miracle? Logically- Shagun can be proved as incompetent- they get both kids- but hell- how would they use children to milk the drama for TRPs then???? Yeah right- so exploit them. Disgusting TRP gimmick. This track could have been executed much much better- but unfortunately - it's not.
The kids are the worst sufferers- The parents- Unable to parent. Then what message are the CV's giving? Just one- There are NO second chances. A second chance is a delusion. Bas. Rant over.
