Maybe I’m on my own here but I feel no character development at all on MJ’s part. She is scheming to hold this marriage together. She was fine with the party because the attention was back on her. She places far too much importance on what people think of her. That still isn’t valuing herself but rather valuing the opinion of others more. She treated her staff terribly. I just couldn’t root for her at all today. 
Don’t kill me guys but I kind of found the tie scene between Zaid and Ayra cute, particularly Zaid. He looks cute when he’s happy. I am in no way team Zaid and Ayra but I felt their scene today. 
I was also surprised that Zaid couldn’t see through MJ. He seemed to be questioning her with his eyes the last episode. Does he believe that she actually loves him? Maybe he thinks that MJ’s speech would be embarrassing for her so perhaps he thinks she put her feelings above what others thinks. However it was obviously just her way of regaining the spotlight. Maybe Zaid was apprehensive before but now he’s convinced. I still feel like he is drawn towards Mubashira. I did enjoy their scene together. 
Did it seem like Asif was also upset after hearing about the shares being transferred to MJ? Rayyan transferred his shares to MJ too? Since when did he make these types of sacrifices? I couldn’t tell how Kashmala felt about all of this. Asif should put some in Kashmala’s name too since she probably isn’t getting anything through Rayyan. 
Ayra has figured out MJ’s plan and she will fight back but I think she’ll lose Zaid in the fight. She doesn’t realize that she already has the most valuable thing - Zaid’s support. He could have easily thrown it in her face that they would have been on their own, divorced to Mubashira and not under his father’s mercy if she didn’t place those conditions on Zaid. How did she expect him to buy a separate house for her under the current conditions? His under his dad’s roof, working for his company and most likely burned bridges between himself and the rival company. If it was really Zaid that she wanted, she could have avoided this whole mess. I think Ayra is really struggling with 2 sides of her.
