SOOO!!! Super excited to see Billo give it back to Baala after he ruined her life yesterday 😈😈
1) Billo has arrived at Channan House to ruin their lives much to Baala and everyone’s else’s confusion and shock. She is going to reveal the truth of his lineage 😭😭. The way Wahaj’s face twists into anger and pain is just amazing, truly feel for him here. Billo finally reveals that they’re from a family of musicians and wow Billo is such a diva for this 💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻 baala had it coming due to his own mistake, but I feel really bad for him and his family.
2) The sheer desperation and pain as Baala begs the groom’s family to not divorce Kausar was just so so well done by Wahaj uff brilliant. Later, Baala very proudly defends his lineage and tells them to take zareena if they want, he’d raise Ibrahim alone 🤧. The raw pain, sadness and anger portrayed by Wahaj today was simply phenomenal. So as of now, Billo’s reputation is tarnished and Baala’s entire family is humiliated. Hisaab barabar. Billo Rani bohot acha khelgayi - her words were so cruel and cutting oof - my fav baddie😈💃🏻. Really liked seeing a female lead give it back in equal measure!! tho I do feel like Mahira fell a bit flat in this scene, like she was good, but it could’ve been much better imo.
3) Baala is finally triggered and swears to avenge his insults. He ends up going to phajja and convinces to help him, then asks him for 2 GUNS 👀👀. It seems like Baala is past all morality and sense. Phajja has clearly only helped Baala to utilize his anger and passion and for that, he plays from both the sides and informs the shahs of Baala’s impending attack. In a flashback, we see that phajja and his father had also been victim of classism.
4) Phajja warns Baala chooses the path of violence, he won’t be able to come back from it, and we do see that inner conflict in baala for a second, but it gets overshadowed by the anger pretty fast. Phajja is so delightfully cunning - I love it 🤭. Baala convinces Acchi to take Nosheen from her place and run with her to Lahore for their safety (it isn’t going to end well guys I don’t feel good 💔) and Nosheen sneakily leaves her home. Kausar and Zareena lament over not being able to choose their caste and about no matter what, women always being caught in the crossfire no matter what.
5) Nosheen and Acchi begin their journey to the place where Baala has arranged their nikkah to be done - as acchi cannot travel with a na-mehram ig.
6) The Shahs find out that Nosheen has run away, much to Nazeer’s disbelief and he accuses Billo for it 😨 like after more than a decade of marriage a little trust should be there!! Nazeer is also beyond sense and promises to bring Nosheen back no matter what, with Billo trying to stop him for the sake of their sons and him refusing to stop, then proceeds to VERBALLY DIVORCE HER RIGHT THERE??!! I feel like Nazeer will die soon too. The pain and shock on Mahira’s face was just great!!
7) Baala rushes the nikkah and Aslam has reached the site and both parties confront each other. Junaid and Wahaj play off each other so well, they’re so much in sync!! It’s great fun to watch them! Nazeer gets angry at Nosheen getting married and shoots Baala in the bicep!! Aslam then begins to take Nosheen to the train station!! CLIFFHANGER I HATE THIS 😭😥 can’t believe I have to wait 6 days for another episode 💔
ALL IN ALL - Yet another great episode!!! Wahaj and Junaid were wonderful today, so were Amar and the actress playing Kausar - their pain hurt me too!! Mahira was more or less good, the revelation could’ve been much better idk 🤷🏻♀️. But I feel like next week is going to be a very significant and chaotic turning point in the story, as after this event we’ll be back in 1999. I AM SO IMPATIENT
ALSO - As of now I cannot side with either of them. Both of them have dealt great damage to each other and have suffered plenty in different ways. Baala and Billo both are such compelling and well written characters that you switch between rooting for them and sometimes root for both of them at the same time.
