Sharon appears and tells the gang to leave so that Swayam can rest. She also tells them that she will stay with Swayam overnight to make sure that he gets better. The gang think it is strange that Sharon is being so nice to Swayam but leave anyway.

One of Aditya's assistants drops off the new letter for the team to sign until the new contract is made. The gang get excited when they see how fast the letters were made. But before they get too excited, Vicki suggests that they read the letters first. The letter has several clauses that the gang are not comfortable with. While they are discussing the clauses, Swayam appears. He points out that the team will lose their freedom for the duration of the letter period. A majority of the gang members are okay with the contract because it is temporary and decide to sign it. When Rey gives Swayam his letter, Swayam leaves without signing the letter. Rey is surprised by Swayam's reaction. Sharon watches as Swayam leaves and takes his letter from Rey and goes to talk to him.

Sharon yells at him for not calling her. Swayam tells her that he is busy setting the choreography for the music video with Aashi. Sharon is shocked to hear that Swayam is alone with Aashi. She makes her way to college and sees Swayam dancing with Aashi. She is hurt by what she sees.

D3: Swayam gets frustrated by what is happening... (August 21st, 2013)

After Rey leaves to talk to Aditya about the contract, Sharon tells the gang that they were very rude with Rey. She pleads with the gang to be cordial with Rey as none of what is happening is his fault. Meanwhile, Swayam sees some students comment about Rey and Sharon's chemistry in the projector room. They talk about how awesome they look together. Swayam gets irritated and yells at the students for using the college property for personal use. After the students leave, Swayam feels tormented by their comments. The gang continue rehearsals after the meeting with Rey. Aashi teaches Sharon the steps. Simmi wonders if the choreography is too over-the-top but Aashi assures her that Aditya wants the choreography to be like that. The gang wonder where Swayam and Rey are. 

Rey walks by the projector room and notices Swayam there. He makes his way over and tells Swayam that he wanted to talk to him for a long time. Rey notices that Swayam is not in a good mood and asks him why he is so upset. Swayam tells him that he is upset because the entire college thinks that Sharon and him are a couple. Rey suggests the he will call Aditya and tell him that Sharon cannot be his partner. He points out that all this happened after the poster was "leaked" and now they are told to create a sensuous routine for the two of them. Rey assures Swayam that he will talk to Aditya and try to change things. Swayam gets frustrated and tries to tell Rey about Aditya's plans but in vain. He remembers the promise that he and Sharon made with the rest of the gang about being normal with Rey and leaves the room. 

Rey decides to talk to Sharon about Swayam's behavior. At first Sharon denies that anything is wrong but when Rey tells her that he met with Swayam, Sharon assures Rey that Swayam will be fine. Sharon   confesses that ever since the poster leak incident, Swayam has been uncomfortable. Rey asks Sharon if Swayam has been just as upset with her. Sharon tells him that Swayam is upset at the situation and they even fought about it. She asks Rey to stay out of it as she and Swayam have to deal with their personal problem. Rey tells her that unintentionally he is in the middle of it all. Sharon does not like that Swayam told Rey about their personal problems. She decides to talk to Swayam about it. 

Swayam tries to sort his thought. He thinks about the plan that Aditya has. He wonders how Aditya found out about his relationship with Sharon and wonders if Rey accidently told him about it. Just then Sharon comes. She yells at him for telling Rey their personal problems. Swayam gets frustrated because both Rey and Sharon missed the point. Both of them are not able to see that Aditya is intentionally creating problems between them. They once again have a fight and Swayam storms off leaving Sharon wondering how Swayam can just walk off like that. 

Will Swayam tell Sharon about Aditya's true colors? What will Swayam do next? Will Rey be able to see through Aditya's guise? 

Lately there have been loads of Vrinda's interviews. Here's another one where she talks about how she is going to celebrate Raksha Bandhan. Enjoy...

D3: Aditya succeeds in pushing Swayam's buttons... (August 20th, 2013)

Aditya decides to break up Sharon and Swayam. Aditya calls the entire team for a meeting. The gang wonder if they will be featured in the official poster of the music video. Aditya confirms that only Sharon and Rey will be featured in the official poster. Rinni wonders if the gang will be featured in the music video if they are not on the poster. Rey assures the gang that everyone will be equally involved with the music video. Then he appoints Aashi as Neha's replacement. He mentions that since the team hasn't given him any concepts, he suggests that Swayam and Aashi choreograph a sensuous routine on "Chokra Jawan" for Rey and Sharon. Sharon and Swayam are shocked when they hear the song choice. Aditya notices Swayam and Sharon's expression and suggests that the song should be very sexy just to upset Swayam. 

He asks Swayam, Aashi, Sharon and Rey to make their way to the rehearsal hall right away. Swayam is very uncomfortable choreographing a sensuous routine for Sharon and Rey. He explains the steps of the routine in a mechanical fashion, while Aashi demonstrates. Aditya comments that the choreography isn't sensuous enough. Swayam feels awkward and excuses himself from the rehearsal hall. Just then Aditya instructs Rey and Sharon to demonstrate the choreography. He keeps instructing Sharon to get closer to Rey just to get under Swayam's skin. Sharon watches as Swayam walks out the rehearsal hall. After Swayam leaves, Rey asks Aditya to give them some time to develop a comfort level. Aditya agrees and pushes rehearsals to the next day. 

Swayam thinks about everything that is happening. He wonders how Aditya found out about his relationship with Sharon. He tries to figure out how Aditya found out about SwaRon's dance on "Chokra Jawan." Sharon finds Swayam and tries to talk to him. Swayam tells her that he is very uncomfortable with everything that is happening. Sharon tells him that even though she isn't too thrilled with what is happening, she has to be professional. Swayam disagrees with her and they end up having their first argument. Just then they get a message from the gang asking them to meet at the atrium. The gang tell them that their contracts have arrived. They notice that the contract has several strict clauses which would severely restrict what the gang can and cannot do. They all decide not to sign the contract.  Just then Rey asks them all to meet with him. 

The D3 gang meet with Rey and discuss the contract. They point out that the contract is too restrictive. Rey tries to reason with them but they do not listen. He assures them that Aditya will not enforce the contract strictly but the gang think otherwise. Rey asks Swayam to make the gang understand but to no avail. Swayam agrees with the gang and tells Rey that they are right. He tells him not to trust Aditya blindly because he hasn't come true on all of his promises and walks out of the room in frustration. Sharon watches as Swayam leaves upset. Rey tells the gang that he will talk to Aditya about making changes to the contract. 

Will Aditya succeed in messing up SwaRon's relationship? Will Swayam figure out that his relationship with Sharon is Aditya's next target? What will Swayam do next?

D3: Rey accepts Aditya's offer... (July 19th, 2013)

Rey tells Aditya that he doesn't think that he is ready to take up his offer. The VP tries to convince him but gives him his space when he repeatedly refuses. Aditya still gives Rey his card and tells him to call him if he changes his mind. Rey assures Aditya that he will not change his mind but when the VP asks him to keep the card, he takes it. Meanwhile, the rest of the D3 gang spend their detention cleaning the basketball court. They have a blast dancing and throwing water on each other! After the meeting Rey makes his way to the basketball courts and sees his friends having a good time. He decides not to tell them anything about Aditya Khurrana. 

Rey joins them in class and tells them that he should have come with them to clean the basketball courts rather than meeting with the VP. When he takes something out of his pocket, Adiyta's card falls out. Aashi sees the card on the floor and is shocked when she reads the name on it. She excitedly shows the rest of the gang the card and tells them that this is the Aditya Khurrana - the star maker. Everyone is impressed and wonder what his card was doing on the floor. Aashi asks everyone in class if it is theirs but no one says anything. Finally Rey tells her that the card is his. The rest of the gang are surprised to see that Rey has Aditya's card. 

They ask him how he got it. Rey tells the gang that Aditya saw his solo performance at NDC and came to St Louis to meet with him. The gang assumes that Aditya wants to manage their team and get excited. They ask Rey what he told Aditya when he met him. Rey tells them that he declined his offer because he wasn't in the right frame of mind. The gang is shocked and ask Rey to call Aditya and tell him that he agrees to his offer. Rey wonders if he should tell them that Aditya specifically wants to manage only him and not the team. But he hides the fact and calls Aditya on the team's insistence. Aditya, meanwhile, was expecting Rey to call him back. He deliberately ignores his calls for a while. Rey wonders if he will be able to get through to Aditya in time. 

Swayam makes his way to Sharon's house to meet her. He misses her a lot and wants to check up on her. Sharon sternly asks him to stay away and keep his distance lest he too gets chicken pox! Aditya finally answers Rey's call and pretends to not notice his previous calls. Rey tells Aditya that he is ready to take up his offer. Aditya is happy to hear that but when Rey adds that Aditya has to manage the entire team, Aditya is not pleased. Will Aditya agree to manage the entire D3 team or will he only manage Rey? How will team react to this? Let's wait and watch...

In other news, there's word from Charlie about the rumors that she's going to step in. Check out this article for more info...

D3: Taani leaves St Louis... (July 17th, 2013)

Taani is touched by the farewell party. Everyone enjoys the party and wishes Taani all the best for her future plans. Swayam tells Taani that even though Sharon couldn't come to the party, she sent something special for her. Sharon makes a touching powerpoint presentation for Taani wishing her the best and thanking her for all she has done for the team and the college. She also tells Taani that they all love her and will miss her after she leaves. Rey gets emotional and leaves the room. Taani notices that he left and goes to find him. Taani finds Rey in the kitchen. She asks Rey to promise that he will move on after she leaves. She tells him that she wants him to be happy and become like the old Rey she first met when she came to St Louis. Rey agrees and promises her that he will do everything that she asked him to do. She then leads him back to the party. 

The next day the gang go to the rehearsal hall to ease their sadness. They try to dance but nothing happens smoothly. They wonder why they feel so down after Taani left. They stop dancing and stat becoming sad. Meanwhile, Swayam and Aashi meet with the VP. They talk to the VP about who would take over the position of GS now that Taani is gone. The VP asks why Rey isn't present for such an important meeting. Swayam makes up and excuse for Rey. Swayam asks if they will hold mid-term elections. The VP suggests that they suggest a name who is capable and he will appoint them rather than holding mid-term elections. Aashi suggests Rey for GS. Swayam immediately disagrees and tells the VP that Rey isn't in the right frame of mind to take over the GS position. The VP mentions that he always knew that there was something between Rey and Taani. Aashi then suggests Sharon for the GS position. Swayam agrees with her this time. The VP tells them that he will thinks about it and get back to them.

Aashi and Swayam make their way to rehearsal hall and see all the rest of gang depressed. Swayam tells them that they should move on and become happy again. He mentions that if Rey sees them like this then it will make him feel bad. Swayam suggests that the best way they can come out of their depression is to start dancing again. Aashi agrees with Swayam and the boys stare at Swayam and Aashi. Rey makes him way to college and is approached by Aditya Khurrana. Aditya introduces himself as a talent manager and tells Rey that he can make him a star. He promises Rey to make him huge star rather than just popular in the college circuit. Rey thanks Aditya for his interest but refuses his offer. He tells him that he doesn't feel like he is ready for such an opportunity at this time. 

Will Rey agree to be represented by Aditya? What happens to the rest of the team? Will Sharon become the new GS? Let's see...   

D3: Taani announces that she's leaving... (July 12th, 2013)

Swayam is shocked to see Taani's things all packed up. He tells Rey that Taani has packed up her things and leaving for real. Rey panics and asks Swayam to meet him in the rehearsal hall as soon as possible. Taani makes her way to college before Swayam gets back. She thinks about how odd it feels to leave St Louis. Meanwhile, Rey wonders how he will be able to stop Taani from leaving. Swayam makes his way to college and tries to call Sharon but she doesn't respond. Rey calls Swayam and asks him where he is. Swayam assures Rey that he is in college and will meet him soon. Rey mentions that he was trying to call Sharon but didn't get a response from her. Swayam finally makes his way to the rehearsal hall. As soon Rey sees him, he hugs him and begs him to do something to stop Taani. 

Swayam feel suffocated and jokes that no wonder Taani is leaving him. He later notices Rey's hurt and apologizes for the bad joke. He assures Rey that if they stop Taani together, she won't leave them. Just then the rest of the D3 gang make their way to the rehearsal hall. They overhear ReYam and wonder how Taani suddenly decided to leave St Louis. Rey becomes emotional and begs Swayam to do something to stop Taani. He tells Swayam that he can't be without Taani. The rest of the gang assemble together for a group hug. Bharat wonders out loud if they really have to stop Taani. Rey gets upset and almost picks a fight with Bharat but Swayam calms him down. Aashi suggests that they all come up with a plan as soon as possible. Every one starts thinking of ways to stop Taani. Aashi comes up with a a plan.

A group of students assemble in the atrium with signs and banners congratulating the St Louis dance team for their NDC victory. The entire dance team make their way to the atrium. Aashi explains that when everyone congratulate Taani for her achievement, she will get emotional and change her mind about leaving. Rey agrees. All of the team members celebrate their victory. Finally the VP makes his way to the atrium and congratulates the team for their victory. He also calls Taani up and congratulates her for all of her hard work. He asks Taani to say a few words. Taani thanks the group for all of their hard work. She also thanks the VP and the dance team for always supporting her. Finally she announces that she is glad that her last assignment at St Louis was a successful one. The D3 gang shake their heads as their plan to stop Taani failed. While Taani talks, Swayam's phone starts ringing. Sharon calls Swayam but he is unable to answer the call.

After the crowd disperses, Taani explains to the VP that she has chosen to leave St Louis because of some personal problems. She thanks him for all of his support and apologizes for all of her past mistakes. The VP although shocked by her decision, wishes her the best for her future. Taani addresses the D3 gang and tells them that she will miss them dearly. She gets emotional when she sees Rey and runs out of the atrium. Swayam and Nilesh stop Rey from running after Taani and assure him that they will think of something. How will they stop Taani from leaving? What is up with Sharon? 

For those of you who aren't aware, Vrushika was down with chicken pox which means Sharon will be missing for a couple episodes. Hopefully she gets better soon! It all started with Archie getting sick, hence he is MIA too. Hopefully he's back and no one else gets sick!

D3: Swayam and Sharon go on their first date... (July 11th, 2013)

Rey is worried about Taani. He wonders how he will stop her from leaving. He realizes that if he tries to stop her, her resolve will only get stronger. He figures that he will need the help of Sharon and Swayam and the rest of the team to stop Taani from leaving. Meanwhile, Sharon dreams of telling the girls about her relationship with Swayam. All of the girls are happy for her except Aashi. Sharon makes funny faces at Aashi and smiles when she sees her upset. Oh Sharon! She still doesn't like that Aashi has a thing for Swayam! She wakes up when she hears her phone ringing. Swayam calls her as he waits by her window. Sharon wakes up and makes her way to the window. Swayam tells her that he came to take her on their first date. Sharon wonders what they will be doing so early in the morning. He tells her that they will be going out jogging. 

While Sharon and Swayam are out jogging, Rey tries to contact them. He becomes frustrated when he cannot reach either of them. He goes to college and wonders why the others haven't made their way to college yet. He finally sends out a group text telling them that they have a meeting in the rehearsal hall. The team members wonder why they are having a meeting when there are not immediate dance events. Swayam finally makes his way home. He daydreams about Sharon telling Taani about their relationship. Oh Swayam! Then Taani will finally be able to call Sharon Bhabhi! He is brought back to reality when he hears his phone buzzing. Rey yells at Swayam for not answering his calls. Swayam tells him that he was out. Rey tells him that he wasn't able to get a hold of Sharon as well. Swayam tells Rey about their jogging date. Rey finally tells Swayam about Taani leaving. Swayam is shocked and realizes that she didn't tell him because she knew that he would stop her from leaving. 

Swayam goes into Taani's room and sees boxes everywhere. He tells Rey that Taani has packed up all of her things and is really leaving. What will ReYam do to stop her? How will they convince Taani to stay? Looks like there will be a whole lot of drama headed our way...

D3: Sharon convinces Taani to attend the NDC finals... (July 2nd, 2013)

As it turns out, Rey just imagined the slap. Mr. Shikhawat sternly asks Rey to leave and Rey obliges. Meanwhile, Sharon goes over to Swayam's place and tries to convince Taani to joint the team for the NDC finals. Taani refuses stating that Rey will lose focus if she comes to the venue. Sharon insists that the team would really like to have their GS with them at the finals, especially after everything that Taani did to get there. Taani tries to make Sharon understand that she doesn't want to cause any problems with Rey. Mr. Shikhawat goes to check on Taani and overhears Sharon talking to Taani. He asks her why she hid the fact that Rey is a dancer. Taani tells him that she didn't want him to think negatively of Rey just like he does of Swayam. She also apologizes and tells him that it doesn't matter if he knows the truth because there is nothing between her and Rey. Sharon steps in and tells Taani that if she doesn't join her, then the St Louis team will have to perform without her. Taani finally agrees to go to the NDC finals. 

When Taani leaves to get dressed, Mr. Shikhawat confronts Sharon. He calls her a bully and labels the entire generation as selfish. Sharon asks him that if she asked him politely to support his son what he would say. He tells her that he would politely decline. Sharon tries to reason with him but he doesn't listen. She tries to make him realize how unfairly he is treating Taani and Swayam. He supports Taani but strongly is against Swayam. Mr. Shikhawat doesn't say anything and pretends to ignore Sharon. Sharon also asks him if he dislikes Rey because he found out the truth about him. Mr. Shikhawat tells her that he likes Rey more because he came to him and told him the truth. Taani appears and stands by as Sharon continues to try to get Mr. Shikhawat to come to the venue. Finally Taani urges Sharon to leave. The girls leave for the venue while Mr. Shikhawat thinks about everything that Sharon said to him. 

Sharon calls Swayam to tell him that Taani is joining them. Swayam tells her about Amar's injury. He also tells her that he called Aashi. I'm not sure but I noticed Sharon got a bit jealous when Swayam mentioned that Aashi is a strong dancer! I would love to see a full on dance battle between the girls to prove their affection for Swayam! That would be epic! Moving on, Rey reaches the venue. The boys spot him and Swayam notices that his morale is down. He makes him realize that the team needs him to be at his best. Rey listens to Swayam but is still lost and broken. Sharon notices how miserable Taani looks as they travel to the venue. Taani tells Sharon that she's glad that Tauji finally knows the truth about Rey. She hopes that now that he knows that Rey is dancer, he will start accepting Swayam as well. How will Rey react when he sees Taani? Will he be able to perform? 

D3: Taani tells Rey that she has chosen her career over him... (July 1st, 2013)

Before I say anything else, how awesome was it watching Dil Dostii Dance for an hour! I loved it! I can't wait till the next Mega Monday for another hour long episode of D3!

Taani is upset after all the events that unfolded at the party. The VP was upset with the entire dance team for what happened and yelled at Taani and the entire team. Rey tried to apologize to Taani but Taani was too upset to even acknowledge his apology. Taani wonders how things became so bad. She resolves to move forward with her life and take control of her future. She looks into a university and decides to apply there for higher education. Rey calls Taani but she ignores his calls. Finally when she realizes that he won't stop calling her until she talks to him, Taani answers. Rey begs her to talk to him but she refuses. She notices that her bedroom window opened up and goes to close it. She sees Rey standing downstairs drenched in the rain but doesn't say anything. After a while she goes to the window and sees them still standing there. She goes downstairs and asks him to come inside. 

She gives Rey a towel but when he doesn't do anything, she goes ahead and starts wiping his hair. Rey takes a hold of her hand and once again confesses his love to her. Taani asks Rey that if loves her so much then why did he break up with her. Rey tells her that he wanted her to be a strong person and wanted her to have dreams for herself. Taani replies that she did have a dream for herself - being Rey's wife, but that wasn't good enough for him. She thanks Rey for thinking about her and her future. She tells him about her future plans and about her application for MBA. Rey is happy to hear about her plans but tries to convince her that they can still be together. Taani tells Rey that she has chosen her career over him. Rey is heartbroken by Taani's decision. Before leaving, he once again tells her that he loves her. 

Meanwhile, at St Louis, the boys goof around about what happened at the party. They make fun of Vicki for falling ill because of the drugs. The girls get upset at the boys because of their carefree attitude. Sharon shows the boys a video of Rey and Taani from the party. They boys are shocked to see what Rey said. Swayam gets upset. He decides to be with Taani to support her but Sharon stops him. She tells him that Rey and Taani should sort out their problems by themselves. Swayam agrees. Rey walks out completely heartbroken. Whenever Rey is heartbroken, he tends to dance. This time instead of dancing with himself, he dances with his friends or so he thinks. He feels completely alone. On a side note, I really liked the D3 version of Bezubaan! They used the whole rain element too but it was different compared the ABCD.  

The dance team focus on the NDC finals. They rehearse constantly and try to work hard. They really want to win NDC and bring the trophy home, especially after getting their second chance. Although Rey participates in the rehearsals, he seems very demoralized and the others sense it. They wonder if Rey will be able to perform during the finals. Swayam reassures the team members that even though Rey seems out of it, he will come through for them and perform at the finals. Sharon notices Swayam's concern for Rey and reassures him that Rey will come through. Taani too notices that Rey loses focus whenever she comes to rehearsals. Swayam hopes for the best as the NDC finals approach. 

Finally, it's the day. The NDC finals. The teams make their way to the venue. There is a lot of hoopla and the crowds cheer for their favorite teams. The St Louis team make their way to the venue. As the team are led in and taken to their green room, Sharon gets a phone call and Rey trails behind. Taani calls Sharon to tell her that she won't be coming to the finals. Sharon tries to convince her to come but to no avail. Rey overhears the conversation and figures out that Taani doesn't want to come to the finals. He immediately heads out to get Taani. Sharon tells Swayam that Taani doesn't want to come to the venue. She also tells Swayam that she will try to get Taani to come. Sharon talks to Taani and tries to convince her to come but Taani tells her that she doesn't want Rey to lose focus because of her presence. At the venue, Amar aggravates his injured foot. The team members get concerned as Aashi, Vicki and Amar are not dancing while Sharon and Rey are missing.  

Meanwhile, Rey too makes his way towards Taani's place. He runs into Mr. Shikhawat in the hallway. Mr. Shikhawat asks Rey what he's doing there? Rey tells him that he came to get Taani. Mr. Shikhawat informs him that Sharon came to get Taani and is talking to her. Mr. Skikhawat suggests that they go out lunch but Rey refuses telling him that he needs to get to the venue as soon as possible. When Mr. Shikhawat asks him why he needs to be at the venue, Rey tells him that truth about he being a member of the dance team. Mr Shikhawat gets upset and asks him why he hid the fact that he is dancer. Rey tells him that he hid it because Taani insisted that he hide it. He also tells Mr. Shikhawat that he loves Taani. Mr. Shikhawat gets more upset and asks Rey to leave but when Rey refuses to leave, he slaps him. Poor Rey! First Kriya and now Mr. Shikhawat! What's next for Rey and Taani? Will Rey be able to perform at the NDC finals? Will Taani make it to the NDC finals? How will the St Louis team fare?
