It was a perfectly fine episode and yet somehow, I couldn’t get myself to write about it. I don’t know why.

Bano realizes just how much Shabana means to Bilal. She has already spoken to Safiya about Bilal’s proposal for Shabana, for the second time, and Safiya categorically said no. Speaking of Safiya, she was so selfish and mean to Shabana when her own daughter was about to get married, and now she’s the most concerned that Shabana should be married into a rich family.

Shabana comes to talk to Nusrat saheb, to convince that Bilal is unwilling to accept Shabana’s help in the book publishing matter but that Shabana is just a waseela, and Nusrat should convince Bilal to think wisely. Nusrat agrees to read Bilal’s work. He’s impressed, clearly, as we see later on, but that’s not important here. Oh, and he scolds Jamal over phone when Jamal is very very rude to his abba.

Bano talks to Shabana directly this time. Shabana very politely refuses, explaining her commitment kyunki ek baar commitment kar di toh woh khud ki bhi nahin sunti. Nice scene.

Shahana’s case against Rizwan is coming along nicely. They’ve made some progress, facing some hurdles, as is life, so all good. On the other hand, Yumna is falling for Salaar’s BS again which the only subplot that I HATE.

And let’s not even talk about Kabeer.

That’s pretty much I recall after almost a week of watching the episode.
