Thanks, dear. I am happy that you feel the same way I did about today's episode.
It's the power of the writing and the performances that affected us all in this way. I still have so much more to say but I can't find the words. I'm dumbfounded. They really took me by surprise by the sheer excellence of how the episode was put together. In those 30 minutes I went through 300 emotions. The cast is just too good.
You know what I think nailed it in the confrontation scene? Not just Minnie's revelation of knowing about HS' feelings, but the revelation of how he, a lonely widower, a tough policeman became her idol, the hero she worshiped and trusted beyond any relationship with a tag. The fact that the girl he had long come to consider his own, also reciprocated the feelings of this parent-child bond in equal measure, maybe even above that. The fact that in the same breath she told him how he had transformed her life and allowed her to hope and dream again, only to be the reason for those dreams to be shattered. The brave girl who had always been very close to her mother, even taking on her surname, wanted to be like him, not like her mother. He was her role model, not her mother. He was the one who made her family complete.
He needed to hear all this. He needed to know how much he was cherished and wanted, and the last barrier between them broke today. The way he was trying to touch her cheek and she rejected him at every step was heartbreaking. Very symbolic that with every step he took towards her she pushed him away and stepped back. When she turned away from him to stand by the window, he looked at her incredulously, wondering how she could live without him, because he knew he couldn't.
He knew his feelings for Babita weren't wrong, but he also knew that Minnie was too young to understand. No matter how much he wanted to be open and have a heart to heart, she was a child after all who felt betrayed by her parent. It was not the right time to explain himself.
It was too much for him to take so he left without a word, his heart shattered into a million pieces. Yet the moment he heard her scream, all was forgotten. It was only about her. Nothing else mattered. Seeing her in such a serious medical condition will shake him up. He cannot risk hurting or losing her, because if he does, he will lose a part of himself.
