Today's episode was kinda great overall. There was finally MOVEMENT in the story. The director and writing was top notch.
1. The Ar-Ab auto scene was symbolising how if Ar doesn't grow a spine soon and doesn't let go of Ru, then Ab will cut ties with him. He is guilty, confused, everything, but he needs to take a decision. And be firm on that.
2. Ar-Ru's staircase scene with Ab's parallel was one of the best shot scenes in Rishta gen4. It clearly symbolised how Ru is the one coming in between Ab and Ar's rishta. It was a parallel to Ar-Ru's very first meeting where he saved her. Today Ru kind of repaid his debt by saving him. He should be free now.
3. Ru cornered him and was trying to get a confession out of him. His only thought was, why put me under the bus again? She wanted him to fight for her, fight for their love (just like last time) and just like last time, he ran for Ab. He will never make Ruhi his priority. His pagalpan is only reserved for Abhira.
4. The hospital scene was amazing. Starting from Armaan's desperation to his realisation of how less he knows Ab. He only views her as his zimmedaari. But she is his WIFE. He is always so preoccupied with Ru and her ddp, that he never took out time to get to know Abhira. That scene was amazingly written and enacted by Shehzada. Hopefully this is a turning point in their story. Hopefully this means that Armaan will put efforts into their relationship.
Precap - I will reserve my judgement for the actual episode.
