For a refresher course, check old episode reviews. Since I barely recall anything except for a few character names:
Maala Episode 17 Recap & Review Thought Dump
Another therapy session with Yasmeen where she again explained why Mahir shouldn’t have gone after Maala while her divorce was still not finalized. Tutorial moment: how girls who lose their father tend to weight their worth with their achievements and tend to provide for themselves and family. Agreed but I don’t think it’s just about elder offsprings or ones who have lost their father. I think everyone who felt neglected in their childhood has something to prove and they go down a path of self providence and self protection.
Birbal meets Maala because Mahir doesn’t. Gossip sesh
Mahir’s proposal to Zara isn’t backed by his undying love for Zara of course, we have a long conversation between Zara and her friend just to prove this. Will Zara back out from the wedding? Don’t think so
Hilal reminds Mahir, through a very dramatic scene, how it feels to lose someone you love. Hint: Mahir should help Maala find Badar.
Maala meets Ziyad in the correction facility (Ziyad is writing a book and is seemingly repenting?) Maala thinks that someone else has taken up Nageena’s place as Sarkar and is behind Badar’s kidnap. Oh, and Ziyad might be taking up and offer of becoming a criminal informant and reduce his sentence by two years.
Mahir has agreed to help Maala on some terms and conditions, the most important being Maala should stay in Istanbul.Mahir id pretty confident that Ziyad has Badar with him. Apparently, Mahir needs closure with Ziyad, so…
Maala and Mahir meet changez komsar (yeah, him). Changez may help them find Badar.
Someone is terminally ill and not many knew about it, unless Maala decided the one to spill the beans and cause emotional havoc. Lesson to be learned: tell your loved ones how you feel before it’s too late and they are gone. This one hit too close to home.
Oh, and Malik knows Mahir better than Mahir knows himself. That scene was so good, how Malik made Mahir admit his true feelings for Maala.
There may not be a new Sarkar but someone else, a child of Sehr-e-Ishq, has become jaadugar. Saala yeh chakkar kabhi khatam kahe nahin hota bey?
