Before I say anything about today's episode, we have to get into Flashback Mode and look back at what happened exactly a year ago...
Rey and Kriya saw each other for the last time. The two people that everyone knew were meant to be together were being pulled apart by circumstances. The Dazzlers had just lost at the Footloose eliminations while the Weaklings impressed the crowd with their unique performance. Kriya was upset that she couldn't support Rey when he needed her the most. She was more upset by the fact that she was forced to move away and break his heart. Kriya's helplessness and Rey's heartbreak really touched me. Rey knew that Kriya had a problem but Kriya couldn't tell him why she was forced to break his heart. Rey and Kriya had a bitter breakup to say the least. Kriya lied to him and told him that she used his position to get what she wanted. Side note - I really hope that Rey finds out the truth about Kriya. She wasn't a bad person. She was just a victim of circumstance.
On the other hand, Sharon blamed herself for the Dazzlers defeat. She felt as if she was solely responsible for their loss. She was upset and wanted to talk to her best friend, Rey. But in stead Swayam comes to meet her. She is angry at first but later lets out her feelings. He patiently listens to her and makes her understand that she is not at fault. He makes her realize that Shivam is the one responsible for the Dazzlers' defeat. He tells her to always follow her heart and do whatever she thinks is right. No matter how rude or indifferent Sharon was towards him, Swayam always found a way to make a difference. He always stood by her in every situation and made sure that things were right. He never left her to figure things out on her own, in stead he guided her and always supported her.
Now let's take a look at the snippet of today's episode.

Now let's take a look at the snippet of today's episode.
Rey has found love again with Taani. He has finally gotten over his heartbreak over Kriya and moved on to the point where he can be in healthy relationship with Taani. Taani is certainly no Kriya. Taani is shy and sensitive whereas Kriya was a firebrand. She knew what she wanted and wasn't afraid to fight for it. Taani at first, was easily influenced by what happened around her but now she's slowly becoming more assertive. Taani and Rey's love story was no bed of roses either. They had their share of misunderstandings and fall-outs with they worked together to get out of them and reach a safe place. At first, I didn't really like Taani with Rey but as time passed and Taani's character developed from a ditsy girl with a crush on Rey to a mature character who started to understand Rey truly, I started liking them together. When Rey thanked Taani for being so understanding, I instantly thought back to when Rey was with Kriya. Their breakup defined Rey for a long time. He wanted so bad to believe in love but never wanted to get hurt again. Considering what happened to him the past, I can truly appreciate how much his character has developed and matured over the course of the year.
With Sharon and Swayam, I feel like they are going around in circles. Just when they're getting close, they are pushed back to square one. Sharon is ill and Swayam sneaks into her room to take care of her. He tells her that until she is well, he will not leave. Sharon yells at him but he doesn't budge. They finally have a heart-to-heart about their 'trial relationship.' Sharon asks him why he is still doing all of this even though their relationship is not moving ahead from her side. What Swayam tells her truly touched my heart - he tells her that even though her 'like' didn't change into a 'love', his feelings for her will never change. Her 'like' is all that he needs o move forward. Swayam is so devoted to Sharon it made me wonder if it was unhealthy. Then I realized that Swayam's devotion is the only way he can show his love. Swayam is so in tune with Sharon that even before she says anything, he already knows what she wants. Sharon too understands Swayam but tries really hard to suppress it. I hope that Sharon realizes that she can't force Swayam to forget her and gives in to her heart.
Let's step aside from all the romance and lovey-dovey moments, and focus on St. Louis reality. The gang broke the rules when they left for Goa. Now that they are back, they have to face the music. From all the previews, it looks like there will a rally of some sort in protest of the actions that the AVP takes. I can't wait to see what happens next...
