Bilal is back for just one week so I guess Wahaj would be missing in some of the next episodes again.

He will go back to Singapore and story will only focus on Sadaf/Ammar/Hamsha

SH trashed the whole show as usual but praised Hira. According to them, her scene with Faraz had more emotions than anything Sadaf or Ammar have done so far.

Hamsha said that he is back for one week only. Sadaf will go to Lahore not Singapore.

There are pictures of them together dinning in an unknown place.So they will definitely go somewhere together.

And it has been more than 1 week since he came.

That’s in Bilal’s hotel. It has been 1 week in the real world not onscreen.

I didn't mind e1 in theory. My quibble was with execution in e1. Especially in two areas:

1/ I think Wahaj overdid the drunkenness a bit. The eyes + slurring + stumbling, + constant sipping were all too much. Either they should have added a line that he overdrinks when he is in Pakistan because it triggers his past traumas, but is otherwise more restrained. Or they should have made him a more high-functioning drunk, as long-time alcoholics are wont to be, especially those that run multinational business empires and have to interact with investors and other dignitaries regularly and cannot afford to look insensate. Either way, they could have shown BA discreetly stumble as he gets out of the car and Naamdar holdimg him (discreetly) as he regains his balance. Naamdar could have been shown as his anchor /confidante - the only one who knows about the extent of BA's alcoholism but who silently provides his support to cover up his deficits.

2/ The first Bilsad contact was poorly set up. In retrospect, it was supposed to be a love-at-first-sight moment. But the leering and BA craning his neck to watch Sadaf cross the street was very gali-ka-lafanga-launda coded. The car bump was too remote. The accidental bump-in needed more proximity, more tactile to be impactful. Like Sadaf could still be not looking and bump into Bilal. Her books could have scattered on the ground. BA could have bent to help her. Their eyes could have locked. Their hands could have touched. But she could have just ignored him or muttered something rude under her breath to imply she isn't impressed. Her dupatta could have lehrao-ed as she walked away and touched his face (think SRK-Deepika in Om Shanti Om on the red carpet). There were a thousand ways to make that first contact really impactful and larger-than-life, and to justify why BA was so mesmerized, so much so that he was finger-writing her name and giggling in the next episode after hearing her name.

I agree, if he wasn't shown that drunken and also in the whole track even in Ammar Dania scenes if alcohol wasn't shown to that level, tv ratings could have been high. But it would have lost the impact as a track of Bilal changeover and directors vision would have been to show that way but point is pak viewers cannot digest that, even if alcohol is shown in bad light. director could have minimized even if writer had written and dictated as such but I have heard KRQ doesn't allow to change even a bit. The first look from car and BA dialogue in that situation actually goes well with his state he was in and then the changeover but again many pak viewers cannot digest and would have just skipped the overall drama. But point is how come channel team, director didn't thought about it. It is expected that TV ratings would drop because of this even if it is inline with the story.
