Jackson Heights - Episode 22

The episode opens with Selma Ji telling Bhatti Sahab all about the thugs that want to kill Sikandar. Somehow, this made me want to roll my eyes. I mean, really. Ya tu Selma didn't tell Bhatti anything, ya tu she has to give him a minute by minute by-play of her life. She can't get her act together to tell Iman she's leaving her abusive dad for Bhatti. And, it's pretty obvious from past behavior, that even an idiot knows if Selma tells Bhatti Sahab she has a problem, he will do what he must to fix it. Ergo - you aren't living up to your side of the commitment Selma Ji. You take and take, but you aren't giving Bhatti Sahab anything. 

See - Bhatti Sahab wants to know where to find these goons. What do you think he's thinking?

Meanwhile, Sikandar is going to call Kash to return...cos Kash has been such a big help so far. But Kash don't care, baby. He's busy touring America - pichli episode mein Florida, ab Virginia. 

what is with Taayi ji's obsession with calling the police. Hur do minute baad...beta mera khayaal hai police ko bula lete hain...has she forgotten her son spent 2 years in jail for petty theft and gambling?

picture me gritting my teeth every time evil bahu is on screen...

Hang on a second...it's afternoon, and you're JUST NOW calling your mother in law for food???

YEAH I KNOW you've had it...i'm talking about you not giving your saas any you evil hag.

YOU KILLED HER!! YOU BAHU FROM HELL!!!

Oh come on now. Please tell me JH has not decided to loose its grip on reality. A prison hardened Sikandar couldn't deal with the thugs but Bhatti Sahab - with his checkered shirt and tooti phooti English - got the situation resolved? #Eyeroll #WriterCopOut

Salma ji has great luck when it comes to choosing her men...

Come on - we were all thinking it...

no stopppp

OXYGEN BRAIN TAK NAHI POHANCH RAHI. EXTENSIVE LUNG DAMAGE. Is mein khatray wali baath kounsi NAHI hei?!!

why does Salma need to tell Sikander everything??? should've let him stew with worry for a few more days.

Kya khayaal hai Taayi ji...police ko na bula lein?

Yep. The guy you were going to shoot just saved your ass. Again.
Selma Ji has nothing to worry about -- Bhatti Sahab will prove to be a better husband, better stepdad (to Iman, if he must), and a better thug if he has to pursue that career option. He just won't look like Sikandar in a tank top.

True to form, this heartless jerk is more worried about the hospital bill and less about his mom.

Don't you just want to hug Bhatti Sahab? Poori dunya ke maslay hal karte phirte hein, but no one can help him fix this...

we can totally see how upset you are Jamshed

#NobodyCares #JamshedIsAJerk #YouGetWhatYouDeserve

Crux of this drama - people think it's so easy to get a green card. Only these people know what they have to go through to actually get one.

Iman - don't make me slap you. Your dad can't even poop without someone's help. That's why he's mellowed out. Tell her Selma Ji...

hang on...salma's a pakistani woman...i'm sure she can be emotionally manipulated to stick it out with the abusive husband...yeh hum pakistanion ki khaas baat hai.

I am totally disappointed with Bhatti sahab in this episode. The guy who didn't hesitate while chosing his love for Salma and giving up his chance at an easy green card by sticking it ot with Cathy for a few more months. Suddenly can't bring himself to drop everything and go back home for his dying mother.

 We know Jamshed is a Jerk, but he's got a point...Dadi/Nani ji would definitely prefer seeing the son she hasn't met in 15 years over the Nawasa she saw 4 months ago.

That would explain so much, right?

Waise I take it back - looks like the son does have some love for his dying mom. 

Rizwan sees Jamshed walking into an immigration lawyer's office...wait is Rizwan stalking Jamshed now?

and why does he have a surprised expression on his face? are they trying to suggest that Rizwan wasn't clued in to Jamshed's real motive's behind marrying michelle?

for all you know Rizwan...wolverine could just have a toothache!

Humaray bhi, Maria. Humaray bhi.

Salma takes Sikander out for a walk in a park to end his boredom...

yeah...take it easy Salma...he;s only got fractured legs...he's not a cripple. In a few months he'll be walking again and then he'll smack the smug off your face.
