21/6 - Epi 280 ... Bond Trio and Hero Back

Thursday 21st June

Much better episode today ... and I was rofling while watching, remembering Sandy's words that someone is stalking this blog ... so many of our questions answered and wishes granted :))

Shyam puts in his two penny's worth at the dining table ... reassuring Nani that nothing is wrong. Thus showing he's not worried - good.

Mami back in action ... also good. Make that very good :) ... she should discover Shyam's truth ... please, cv's.

Arnav in action .. this track would have been so much better if a) it was shorter and b) we'd gotten Arnav's side alongside from the beginning. It would have been so much better to see both sides of the story .. along with Arnav's journey to the phone ILU ... cib crib ...
Oh well - BS was back into ASR mode ... first trying to find a way out, then the whole writing a note and something only Khushi would understand bit ... KN explains why he has a phone, gives food to Arnav - somebody remembered that diabetics need food ... Arnav asks for sugar ... well done!

KN has to be the dumbest creature on the planet ... wait, make that KN plus Shyam ... sending a parcel couriered from a local address? With stuff from Vasant Vihar?! Did Shyam even specify that the stuff has to look like it's from Scotland?

Khushi and NK discuss money again ... and issue of the locket ... 

Shyam is actually falling for Khushi's tricks? Well, well, well ... DM is doing wonders all right ... withholding prasad from Shyam was just the first step, DM is well and truly in action. And Khushi exchanges the locket ... in slow motion, so that the viewers can see exactly what she's doing ... :)

So tomorrow we have to wait and see if Khushi gets away with the locket exchange ... and whether she gets the note with the address. Didn't Arnav know the box was supposedly from him, that he wanted to make sure Khushi knew? Will need to re-watch to check.

*edited*
Khushi in soup to answer Nani's question. Nani says ASR always returns when he says he will. Nani, we really hope so!!!
Shyam reassures Nani also ... he has lots of work, Khushiji says she talks to him everyday, so you don't worry. Although he's showing that he is not worried, but he's using Khushi's non-worry as a shoulder to fire his gun.
But Mami is worried, although she keeps quiet now. After telling Khushi to let her know about Arnav's next call. In other words, keep me informed!

NK Hanuman appears, returns Shyam's laptop cheerfully, and Shyam leaves. NK wants to talk to Khushi pronto.

 ASR-KN... KN remembers that his prisoner needs food also, not just medicines. KN's are all getting fed up - they signed up for short kidnap and kill mission ... they're getting impatient and careless. And Bitwa's dimaag has returned from vacation ... (obviously, he's stopped shooting with ST ... his dimaag went for a toss the moment he signed up for a movie with her!) ...

First he realises that temple bells and train sounds have stopped ... 'that's funny.'
KN gets a call from his boss ... and clarifies to his captive that he is rich enough to buy a new phone if he breaks an old one. Drat!!! No wonder Arnav didn't try to bribe him, he's obviously wealthy in his own right. This kidnapping business is just a hobby in his spare time =))

Bitwa's dimaag lights up again ... as KN decides to leave to have heart-to-heart chat with Boss in private, he makes suspicious sound, so KN turns back to keep him covered ... and continues his conversation right there. Also just to be more helpful, he repeats all Boss's instructions out loud, so Arnav knows exactly what's happening. And lets Arnav know that he is alone.
Khushi seems to have signed up DM to do double duty - love me, love my hubby :) And protect both of us! Or is that Mahadev at work?

If Arnav could fight three goons blindfolded a few days back, why didn't he try taking down this one single-handedly??
(Dia - no kwostins on logicwa ... BS is not back fully on shoot, so Arnav can't break free yet.)

Shyam tells KN to send gift hamper to Arnav's house ... saris? from Scotland? perfumes, watches ...
KN helpfully repeats his instructions again for Bitwa's benefit ... I will courier all this to Raizada house.

Arnav wants to throw his food ... bitwa, eating meals regularly is very important for a diabetic ... kha lo! Finds the bill stuck to the bottom ... KN bhaiyya is getting very careless indeed!

Mami-Khushi - Mami is all antsy now after three days of rest ... where is my dearest Arnav bitwa? And she's getting emotional now ... were you lying about the phone call?  Is he in trouble?
Khushi tells her the call actually happened ... Mami wants to tell the family, but Khushi tells her she's on the job. Mami is not happy - she's going to investigate herself. Yippeee ... will she find out about Shyam?!

Arnav-KN ... Arnav trying to find a way out, KN returns with cardboard box filled with multicolored boxes ... this is supposed to be from Scotland?! Arnav fakes hypoglycemia ... KN exasperated ... ek to I'm already pareshan with babysitting, upar se his diabetes :))
And Bitwa sends the restaurant receipt ... yep, he didn't know the box is supposedly from him, and Khushi would anyway smell a rat ... but the secret message does indicate that he's there in person, and Shyam didn't send the box from some random place. So Arnav thinks of a message which only Khushi will be able to decipher is actually from him ... good setting for a Rabba ve coming up :"> :))

Crosses out "A" ... scribbles ... what?! Bets accepted here :)) List is below :)

KN has a sense of humour - kar le apna munh meetha :)

NK-Khushi ... NK couldn't get bank statements, but managed to get emails from the bank ... KJ's a/c was almost empty, there were regular transfers from Di's a/c  to KJ's a/c ... (they haven't seen that those have stopped yet?) ... 5 lakhs withdrawn the day she heard the first phone call ... (I thought she knew that, she saw the SMS) ... which means he needed money ... but then why hasn't he asked for ransom?
NK remembers the Kissa Locket Ka ... and Shyam's extreme anger when the locket got wet ... Khushi says we have to get the locket ...

Payash and chameli ka tel ... Buaji's advice seems to work better for Khushi ... bait the trap with sweet-smelling flowers, and bhanwara will come himself ... Doesn't work for Payal, as Akash bitwa also has takniki kharabi ... allergy to chameli oil ...
Payal should keep her hair tied, she looks much prettier that way.

Shyam and Khushi ... Khushi ready to bait the trap, and spring it too, no matter how distasteful she finds the job ... raksha dhaga for Creepwa, because they're together on this ...
Creepwa is delighted ... he actually starts hearing soft music :))
She's sad he's already wearing a chain, he quickly assures her he can wear two ... Khushi is so relieved ... she offers to tie it for him ... and Creepwa thinks all his Christmases have arrived together! Is he really that gullible? Or is it simply that Khushi really is his Achilles' heel?

So Khushi very hesitantly goes behind him ... and her distaste and determination shows as she is safely behind his back ... she has to do this ... (I checked if Shyam was in front of a mirror - he wasn't) ... and while Shyam smiles blissfully, she loosens the other locket, it drops and she exchanges it for the one she has in her bag ... hopefully the slow motion was for the audience and she was actually much faster with the whole thing ...
And he stops her as she leaves ...

So two things to wait for tomorrow ...
Does she manage to make her escape?
And what is Arnav's message which is only for Khushi's eyes?
From spoiler pics I know the answer to the first :)
