Mehram - Episode 18

Hamza's feeling all stressed out by Areeb's proposal. 

We all need a friend like this guy who can call us out on our BS.

Back at home...

Hamza later apologises to this friend for being a moron. Dude you should be at his feet being constantly grateful he's not hitting on your not-a-wife-wife

Can someone please summarize what that soliloquy was all about? 

Basically...

 

Mrs. Bad Hair has decided to tattle on Areeb. Why? I thought she was on his side?

Oh if only it were that simple my nameless friend...

His name is..

Let's commit it to memory in case he also decides to propose to one of Hamza's wives.

At home these two are almost at it like sauqans...veiled accusations galore.

What? So Iqra is trying to save Areeb and Maya is determined to get his ass whooped by Hamza? I feel like I've entered the twilight zone. Did the previous episode happen or did I imagine it??

Maya's just jealous Areeb didn't go all pathetic Romeo for her.

Shots of Hamza driving. In case we think he might fly home in his private helicopter. Or something.

How far away is hamzas office? He's been driving forever.

Iqra spills the beans on her relationship with hamza. 

HAMZA ISN'T YOUR HUSBAND-HUSBAND SO WHY SHOULD HE BE UPSET? I still don't get it. But Areeb, if you do, please text me.

Iqra and Mehram logic. Allah he bachaaye dono se.

Shouldn't Maya have been eavesdropping on this conversation like 10 minutes ago?

Areeb asks the million dollar question: Now that Hamza is married-married, why can't Iqra consider marriage-marriage. Of course that was before he tried to ascertain if Hamza and Iqra had been intimate. 

Finally Hamza arrives and kicks Areeb out.

It's okay, Areeb was leaving anyway.

then we get this comedy gold of a conversation...

 and it gets better

Everyone who is confused out of their minds, raise your hand now. Where do I even start? 15 minutes into this episode, and I can't even begin to sort out who is doing what.
1 - Did Iqra just admit she loves Hamza like a real husband? She's having a one-sided love with Hamza?
2 - Did Hamza just walk in in a rage and then let Areeb - practically - waltz out the door, winning the Lamest Confrontation Award of the Century?
3 - Is Maya trying to stage Iqra as the one encouraging Areeb? Has she finally come to her senses and is trying to kick Iqra out? Cos I'm down with that. But if Maya is just coming up with some cork-brained idea of hers, then I want to know WHY.

Yall need to figure out real quick who loves whom and who wants to stay married to whom and who needs to know who is married to who. Cos this bakwas is getting really old, really fast.

 yes but we get brilliant dialogues like these from all these frustrating confrontations...

Thanda pani pi lo. Yeh garam garam coffee pi pi ke he deemagh kharab hua hei tumhara Hamza. 

 Dimagh toh Maya ne Khraab kya huwa hai

Oh so close!

Areeb goes home all pathetic and dejected

Mom decides she needs to create some drama too.

#GoDadGo

what?! noooo..he has to stay...just this expression alone is worth keeping him

FINALLY! ATTA GIRL MAYA! I don't know what finally got to her, but FINALLY! There were so many gems in the accusations Maya flung at Iqra - sharing Hamza, acting like a married couple...basically, she accused them of everything but intimacy. This scene made the whole train wreck going on earlier in the episode palatable. Except the dad. Someone get rid of the dad. Please? #GoDadGo

Sach tu karwa he hota hei Iqra behen. 

Did you notice this?

Iqra leaves a letter on Hamza's car telling him she's leaving the house. He goes running around the house trying to find her. Did you think she was hiding in the cupboard hamza...

 and why didnt she take that particular dress...isnt that what she wore to your second wedding??? Think Hamza Think!

Look how upset Maya is that Iqra left *snort*
PS: You are supposed to take the robe off when you sleep. FYI.
