When Bhabo gets wound up by Meena, the whole house spins like a top. It's a guarantee.
Chavi is late returning home. Bhabo transfers her suspicions about Mohit to Chavi. After all, they are indistinguishably villainous. She really does know her children the best. Chavi gets dragged to the kitchen for a special dressing down and Sandy goes after them. After Bhabo bangs a few pots and leaves, Sandy and Meena comfort Chavi. But when Meens starts telling Chavi about Emily's bombshell, Sandy goes into *I don't know what this is* mode and lets Meena furnish the lurid details. After all, Sandy is so nadaan, she doesn't know the meaning of half the words Meens used. But Jethaani ji does get to say 'Chavi, go to your room now.'
Bhabo meanwhile is unravelling like a badly rolled up ball of wool. One minute she thinks Mohit is telling the truth, next minute she's terrified he isn't. She screams at everyone in the house, but cannot pin Mohit down. She swallows down the fear and puts on a brave front but it's a minute by minute effort. She marshals the family for festival preparations and prayers. Even there she's just going through the motions.
But SurYa are quite different. They have switched to relaxed mode. Enjoying the festive spirit around them. Just for a moment, they look mildly concerned when Bhabo sidles up to Mohit and asks him the crucial question. But then they are back to being off-duty SurYa. Only a problem like a fake swami is worth their worry. This Emily drama isn't still worthy of full blown SurYa treatment. Bhabo is satisfied with Mohit's mumblings and moves off. Suraj is next to come to Mohit and give him a smile and brotherly hug.
Just then Emily suddenly appears out of nowhere, this time with parents in tow. Emily's mother has a mother to mother talk with Bhabo in the presence of the entire family. Now SurYa have switched to another mode. Suraj is now looking at Mohit with suspicion. Sandy is trying to look neutral and show concern for her friend,her bro-in-law and most of all Bhabo. As usual Meens is the only one who reacts like a woman in that set up would.
After Mohit has again for the nth time dug his own grave and denied any responsibility or knowledge, Emily throws down her usual *I will be back* threat. Precap shows that Emily has worked fast and sent a legal notice. The speed of this drama is making me wonder that the end may not be pleasant. But let me not speculate.
