I'm not saying it was a bad episode but at this point, I expected more. Found the writing too inconsistent and confused. I don't know whether it was a deliberate move from the editor to give us, for the most part, a thandi episode so that the impact of the precap for the next week would be more profound. Or maybe they are just extending the scenes to prolong the show. Whatever their reasons are, I'm pretty sure they could've done a better job at it.
My least fav bit has to be Farah talking to Behroze's photograph cuz it was such a so-not-Farah type of conversation she was having. It was sweet that she sought out Behroze and told him that her day's happening but what she told him was so different than what had actually happened, it annoyed me. Because the best part about Farah is her complete lack of hypocrisy. She says what she means, she means what she says. One can count on her being consistent about it. But she was telling Behroze, "main Wali ki nafrat ko apni mohabbat se hara dungi..' or something like that when she hadn't even uttered the word "mohabbat" in front of Wali. And where did this mohabbat even come from? What made her realize she loves Wali? What triggered it? These are important questions. A man she has been hating ever since he came into her life 4 and a half years ago..now she's saying she loves him...how? I'm not saying I don't buy her falling in love with Wali but show, at least point me to that moment which will convince me of it without a shred of doubt, 'this is the moment when Farah Behroze Khan fell in love with Wali Suhaib Khan.'
I don't compare the novel with drama, it's not the right thing to do. But for the first time I wished they had stuck with the original scene. Farah's realization of love was such a wonderfully written scene in the novel. When she realizes that she could actually lose Wali, that is when it dawns on her that there is no one else she'd want in her life. And that is a HUGE thing for anyone to come on terms with. I'll be forever mad at the show for depriving us of that moment specially when I was so looking forward to it.
There were good moments. Whatever we got of Wali was amazing and it sucked we got SO LESS of him when, let's be real, he's the one we most look forward to seeing anyway (sorry AJ). I loved his scene with Arjumand. For all his obedience, the manly-man-ego-guy in Wali is never really gone. He doesn't like his actions being questioned not even by his mother. He didn't any cross any line nor was he disrespectful but he was quite firm in his stance. Arjumand using the 'nokar kya sochenge?' to vent off her personal frustration at seeing Wali and Farah together so late at night and Wali instantly steeling up in response, 'aur rahi baat nokron ki tou maine unhen itna haq nahin diya hua ke wo mere zaati mamlaat mein dakhal andazi karen.' It was only when Arjumand came directly to the point and said what she actually meant that both of them softened up in their tones and expressions. Which was so effin' great to watch. Ego and 'meri llife, meri marzi' attitude has created SO MANY issues for all of the characters of the show and it's good to see that these factors aren't completely shot down...it's just that the mature "good" characters of the show now have the sense to deal with them better. Which is how it should. Aakhir ko insaan apni anna ke bagair hai kya?
Zarminey and Farah bonding and being two adorable cuties together was nice. Farah so needed a friend like that in her life. Moiz's breakdown and converting fully into the evil antagonists with no facades to keep up with was the high point of the otherwise thakela pace of the episode. At least it provided some jolting entertainment. At this point, this is what the drama needs. Bring out all the remaining conflicts so they can be solved and reach the conclusion! I love the show, I will miss it terribly when it's over but c'mon. 29 episodes are already done and still quite some stuff is left to be seen. I'm worried about it every week that the things that actually need proper time to play out will ultimately not get their deserved due because there will be no time left!
Can we please rewind and reedit the show? It could've been at least 10x better with some proper editing.
*sigh*

I'm all game for the precap. Filmy hai? I know. Too dramatic and unexpected? Tell me about it. But I'd be lying if I say I'm not looking forward to it. In fact, I can't wait to watch it! It's gonna be so much fun, our eyes will be glued to the screen, seats se uth ke kahin jaenge nahin while it's on. I know all about it. So why complain about something I know we're have fun watching? Ainvayi.
