Yeah, not sure how these discussion threads will go. 😆 But let's give it a try. I just saw the episode not too long ago.
Vihaan & Dadima's talk about Neelima was so good yet bittersweet. With Vihaan witnessing his Moms' emotional trauma, he's naturally taken on the weight of keeping them happy and protecting them. Dadima reassuring him about Neelima's happiness and commending Aarushi's strength was something I wouldn't have imagined when she tried to pay Aarushi to leave Vihaan before their wedding. She reminded me of why Aarushi is so good for Vihaan in these situations. Even though they both share a deep devotion to family, her ability to let her reason guide her emotions helps to balance out his intensity when it comes to his moms. That little kiss thing Farida did before hugging Ravish again at the end of the scene was a nice, real world touch. It's something my grandmother and mom would do. Such a good scene!
Vihaan & Aarushi flirting. ❤️ It's a crime that there aren't more vids, gifs, and fan art of these two. Again, another well-done natural set-up for the scene.
Harpreet-Geeta and Priyanka-Babita. The aunts most supportive of Vihaan-Aarushi are married into the family while the most combative are his paternal aunts. We expect to see more of Priyanka's story, but I wonder what will it take to break Babita's defenses.
Priyanka is being made to look suspicious, but that could be misdirection. So I'm waiting to see who is behind this lizard plant. It requires hiring someone with a working knowledge of reptiles/amphibians. 😕 I know very little about poisonous or venomous lizards (especially whether or not they can go into dormant states). I will give the CVs credit about their creativity on this one. It's far out there, but it's different. Let's see how they bring it to its conclusion.
Finally, the wedding is starting and YAY, we get a Manohar sighting!
***
Ranjana, I hope they unveil the organizer of this lizard thing soon. They're heaping suspicion on Priyanka, but I agree that she could be a red herring. I'd be surprised if it's Gautam since all looks well between him and the family in the E24 clip. Maybe it's Gautam's father. Even though his mother decided to let them have their peace, did his father agree? Or maybe it is someone else.
What you mentioned about exploring the Aarushi's emotional relationships with each of the Moms would be really nice. I hope they can because I really enjoyed the Harpreet-Aarushi scene on Friday when they were cataloging the wedding presents. We don't know what the CVs are planning for Harpreet, Geeta, or Babita but it would be good to see more one-on-one time between them and Aarushi at different times, even if they may not have bigger tracks like what we expect for Narmada and Priyanka.
