Okay, finally caught up w/ the last few episodes.
I liked Monday's episode for one major reason: Abhi has stumbled upon facts that can only make him suspicious of Nikhil, for starters, and probably Taliya as things unfold. He turned up at the lawyer's office and stumbled upon quite a bit: Tanu, who was trying to dissuade him from joining her for ice cream, and then the document that had Nikhil earning a 30% commission on everything he did. The exculpatory evidence that he stumbled upon didn't do any damage to Pragya's cause, since it told him nothing about Pragya's being in cahoots w/ Purab, Akash, Dadi, Rachu, et al. But it did give him enough reasons to suspect Nikhil, who he said he'd contact him later, and Tanu, who was there when she told him she was out to get ice cream.
Aliya & Nikhil's confrontation was sprinkles on the ice cream. I don't know whether others see it that way, but I saw it as an inkling of how things will unfold. Nikhil now hates Aliya and is likely to sabotage her plans, not just Tanu's. Aliya tried to sell him on supporting Tanu's marriage, but Nikhil's chances of getting anything are zilch, thanks to Abhi actually reading what was in the documents that Purab was trying to burgle. Since he has both a greed for the cash, and an emotional attachment to his baby, and is currently getting neither, it makes more sense for him to betray Tanu in the hopes that he'll at least get his baby, if not its mom.
Also, I'm not getting where Tanu's threats to Pragya come from. If Abhi & Tanu marry, Pragya just has to turn them both out of the house, since the property papers are still in her name: all Pragya signed was the divorce. In fact, if she is willing to risk Abhi being temporarily married to Tanu for some time b4 he discovers the truth about her, that would be a good plan to execute. Let them marry, kick them both out of the house (w/o getting emotional about Abhi's comfort), and then let Abhi see for himself how much Tanu is willing to suffer for him. Even if Tanu doesn't budge, Nikhil, who would now be getting squat, would have more reasons to expose everything to Abhi. And Aliya? She wants to ruin Abhi, but once he's out, Pragya has no reason to keep her in either, since it would be her decision and her decision alone. She could turn Aliya not into the outhouse but into the streets. Seriously, I'm tired of Pragya putting up w/ their empty threats.
Also, I think that in the background, Abhi is gathering information. He's already threatened the lawyer, and I find it inconceivable that the lawyer will risk his job/client over the privacy of a family member of the client. He's bound to tell Abhi that Tanu & Aliya are behind this. And Nikhil. Also, he's asked Nikhil to see him later. Nikhil has to recognize w/ all this that the game is up, and told Abhi all. I think Abhi knows all that at least from Taliya's side, and may even have therefore figured out Pragya, Dadi, Purab, Rakash, et al. If one fits that into a template of what Abhi is doing, it all makes sense. He is setting Tanu up for a major disappointment, where he'll at a time & place of his choosing, blow her cover. Also, he's annoyed at having been kept in the dark by Pragya & all, and has therefore chosen to torment them as well. He's probably already got all the facts from Nikhil & the lawyer, and it's just a question of throwing it in Taliya's face.
I liked Raj resurfacing last night & making it clear to Taliya that he's taking no sides. In fact, I think he's taking Abhi's side, and would probably help him in hunting down Taliya.
Other thing - I don't think this track will drag on for the whole IPL - this is the time they can expose things and move on to the next track, where maybe just Aliya is the villain and Takhil are married & behind bars.
