Today's episode began with Imlie's earnest prayer for loser D's health. Aparna and Radha hear her prayer and express remorse at their behaviour. Imlie is like SM hold on to that thought, I need to hear what my sasumaa and taiji think first
. I loved Aparna's dialogue "Iske maa ne ise pyaar se sunna sikhaya hai, mein ise pyaar se sunana sikhaungi". Imlie is touched and happy that they are thinking so much for her.
Today Aparna and Radha's remorse more genuine than it did on the t-fam dance day. And Imlie toh hai hi imlie she tries to alleviate their pain by commenting on their badti umar and they are successfully distracted.
But Radha persists and asks why she did not complain even once? Imlie responds with what we always knew, because they were her apne. It was Radha and aparna's turn to be touched.

At the hospital, Adi gets didi coffee with sugar just the right amount for didi. This scene establishes that there is a familiarity between them because of seven years of saath.They know each others likes and dislikes. Didi is touched but she wants to quickly get rid of Adi. So didi lies that KC aarahe hai. I so wished Adi said oh nice. Let me meet him today. didi ka chehra dekhne layak hota. Coffee peethe peethe didi ko apni engagement ring dikh jaati hai. She forgets that she is at hospital and yells for Adi to stop. She tries to return the ring but Adi is like mein iska kya karu? rakho apne paas. Consider it a token of our friendship. Didi says i will ensure it reaches the right place. It doesnt take genius to figure out that ab yeh ring imlie ko milega. Didi kabhi saari utaar kar deti hai toh kabhi ring utar kar. We should get used to this now.
Waise toh didi ke har ek vichaar sunke gussa aata hai, but aaj unka "mein tumko dono haq dilwana chahti hoon imlie" sunke mein bohut irritate hogayi.
Hadd hai. Didi ke self importance and ego at full display. She cannot take it that aditya is dumping her for imlie. So she is twisting the situation to think that she is giving up on Aditya to give imlie her haq.

After watching yesterday's precap, i was wondering what must have happened that Imlie revolved against Anu's abuse. Today we know. Aditya happened. Waise toh Aditya has to protect imlie from everyone, but most importantly he needs to protect imlie from imlie. Today he did that; He pressed all the right buttons to press to fill imlie with strength.
Imlie waits at door for Aditya's return as she wants to know about loser D's health and she bombards Aditya with thousand questions about D's health as soon as Aditya enters home. She breathes a sigh of relief when she hears that D is stable. She requests Adi to let her visit the hospital. Adi asks what if Anu is there? Imlie says she is ready to put up with Anu's abuse.
Adi is irritated and reminds her that she is dadda's beti. She cannot put up with abuse.To drive the point home he asks her to think about how dadda will feel when he knows about how Anu treats her and how imlie puts up with her abuse. As Aditya walks away in irritation, Imlie is filled with shame at thought of disappointing dadda.
Aditya stops midway because he knows that he hurt her and wants to make her feel better. He gathers his limited patience and calls her to come close to him. He assures her that he can protect her from everything but she also needs to learn to protect herself. Imlie cutely agrees and tries to joke that she should have raised her voice when a shehri.. And Aditya is filled with remorse now. He says imlie would not have been in this position if he raised his voice at the right time. Imlie's turn to make him feel better. He extracts a promise from Imlie that she will protect herself. Watch out Anu. You will be meeting a new improved Imlie now

Next morning, imlie visits Malini in hospital and we are treated to heart touching, not at all fake behan prem. Malini asks her how is everything at college. Imlie says every eet at college misses her. I was
as i remembered the scene where imlie goes to the staff room and asks for professor Malini and a staff member is like Malini who; Eet and pattar hi yaad karte honge didi ko.insaan toh yaad nai karte.
Yesterday i was feeling sorry for Dev when he suffered a stroke. Today that sorry flew out of the window when he tries to get imlie to call him papa without revealing the truth.
I dont want to comment on DC-malini prem.
