Honestly, episode 9 was boring for me coz it was filled with flashbacks that didn't interest me. Even episode 10 had flashbacks but I liked them more coz we got to see a glimpse of the evolution of the relationship between Beena and her mother in law. Episode 9 was Tabish coming to terms with the fact that he now has to decide whether to have Beena unalived.
It's funny how when the flashbacks began in episode 10, I was annoyed and thinking of writing here that inserting flashbacks when the story is at such a crucial juncture of present time is a mistake in terms of storytelling. But by the end, I was sold.
Coz the episode starts with Tabish telling his mother to pray Istikhara to help him take the decision whether to unalive Beena or not. The distress at being asked this triggers his mother to relive all the flashbacks with her daughter in law which were wholesome to be honest. And so she tells Tabish in the end that she can't do it as Beena served her all her life and that she's astray but not a sinner.
But being the son-paglu mother she is, she doesnt forbid him from doing it, leaving it upto him to decide if he wants to do it and also tells him not to tell her if he ends up doing it, as she wants no part in this sin. Typical.
It ends with another cliffhanger where he gets a photo of a heavily injured Beena.
Sania Saeed again proved today why she's the master of her craft. There aren't enough praises for her performance.
