'East Meets West' Season 1 Episode 8 Recap - Aired: Monday 9 May 2016



Jatan tells Lamita that tomorrow will be different because she is moving to her new home.
Lamita is in tears, but he consoles her.
She says she will miss him.
He assures her that he will be fine, he will sleep on time and not forget to take his medication and pray.
She says she has faith in him and she promises to be happy. She tells him to promise her he will visit often.


Ruchi goes to meet Udey in his room. They talk about the dance at the henna ceremony. Ruchi says Lamita didn't seem to enjoy it and didn't have time for them, instead she was clinging to her family.
He asks her about Lisa. She says she likes Lisa, she's very modern and she enjoyed herself.
Udey says Abhay loves her very much.
Ruchi asks if he loves Lamita the same way or he is just doing it under pressure.  He says he doesn't really know the answer to that.


Lisa orders room service and she tells Abhay that she ordered it as a treat for him because he has been so patient and made sacrifices for her.
She says she is so excited to become a part of his family. Abhay looks worried,  he says he misses his family so much but he is not sure of his father.
Lisa says his father is a nice man and he has come around
Abhay says he thinks his father is still upset with them.


Ranbir is in the room, lost in his thoughts. His mother comes in.
She tells him the ceremony went very well and everyone was happy; when Abhay came home, Rhama was very happy and Abhay should come back to his family. She says she she's happy that he agreed to both weddings and that's how it should be; sometimes a parent has to sacrifice for their child's happiness and in doing that, he will also find happiness.
She thanks him and leaves.
Her words seem to have struck a chord with Ranbir.


Vinay goes to meet Anjana in the room. She’s lost in her thoughts and he asks what she’s thinking about.
She wants to know who invited Abhay and Lisa to the henna ceremony.
Vinay says he has no clue but what's worrying is that Ranbir did not react to Lisa's presence.
He says what if he allows the weddings to go on.
Anjana says they will just have to accept Lamita in that case.
Vinay says he will never accept Lamita the village girl. He will get his mother to do something about it.
When he leaves she thinks to herself that she likes the idea of Lamita being in the family because it will guearantee that she (Anjana) is Rheka’s favourite daughter-in-law.


Rheka orders the houseman to turn off the decoration lights in the living room.
Ranbir tells her that the house is in a celebratory mood as there will be two weddings tomorrow, so the lights should stay on.
She looks at him and says she has no doubt that there will be no weddings.
He tells her not to second guess him as he will not tell her of his plans.
She says if anyone comes at her she is capable of hitting back.


It's the morning of the wedding day.
Ranjeet comes to Udey room, he gives him a hug then thanks him for agreeing to the wedding because it will help mend fences between him and Ranbir.


Lamita 's aunt is preparing the house and setting up for the wedding.
Govind asks Jatan why he is looking worried.
Jatan says that Lamita doesn't look happy.
Govind tells him that it is to be expected and he should trust that all will be well.


Ranbir is looking for something in his wardrobe. His mother asks him what he wants because Rhama is not home so she will attend to him if he needs anything.
He asks where Rhama has gone.
She tells him that she has gone out and he shouldn't fight with her when she gets back; she has a lot to do before the wedding.


Lamita's family is getting ready, they pray together and begin to sing.
Lamita's aunt, Hadeep, tells her a bride cannot see the ceremony so she needs to close her eyes till it’s over. Lamita closes her eyes as they fit her bangles on her.
They finish dressing her up, then begin to give her gifts as Jatan watches with pride.


Abhay and Lisa are in their hotel room.
Lisa asks him what time they have to be at the wedding. He teases her about being impatient to marry him.
Udey calls him on the phone.
He tells Abhay that he is very excited and all their problems will soon be sorted.
Abhay says he's worried because Lamita looked worried and his father didn't talk to him.
Udey tries to allay his fears and tells him to have faith.
Lisa leaves for the beauty salon.


Abhay hears the doorbell and answers it. He sees his father standing there. He is shocked but invites him in.
Abhay starts to speak even before Ranbir says anything.
He says he knows his father wants him to come home, he apologises for how he got married to Lisa but he knows his father loves him,  he has never said no to him and he knows in the end,  his father will forgive him.
Ranbir says he has not forgiven him, he is here to say that Abhay can't come to the wedding anymore because he cannot guarantee that the day will go smoothly and he doesn't want to complicate it for anyone; so Abhay is not allowed to come
He opens the door and sees Lisa all dressed up in Indian attire. He looks at her without saying anything, then he walks off.
Abhay is in tears but he wipes them when he hears Lisa's voice.
She asks him what Ranbir said. He tells her he wants to show her something.


Banwari is chatting with Anjana and Vinay in the living room.
Ranbir marches into the house.
They ask if he knows where Rhama is and he says he doesn't.
He tells Banwari to come with him and then he goes upstairs.


Vinay asks Banwari if he has noticed a change in Ranbir. Banwari says he has and he doesn't understand it.
He goes upstairs to meet Ranbir.
Anjana thinks Ranbir may have agreed to Abhay's wedding so she decides to call Rheka on the phone and inform her.


Grandmother goes to meet Udey in his room. He shows her the suit he is wearing but sees tears in her eyes.
He asks her why she is crying and she says they're tears of joy; she is amazed at how he has matured over the years.
She says it's because of him that Abhay is coming home and she hopes Ranbir appreciates the sacrifice he is making.
Udey says it is not a sacrifice because he knows Lamita is a good girl and she likes him.


Abhay and Lisa are at the restaurant by the hotel pool.
Lisa tells the waiter that they're about to leave but Abhay tells him they are not.
She asks him what is going on. He loses his temper a bit but apologises to her.
He asks if she's happy with him because he is aware that since they got married she has been deprived of a family and a home.
She asks him if Ranbir  Said anything.
He tells her that Ranbir said they're not allowed to the wedding and he never accepted Lisa and he never will.
He apologises for letting her down. She is in tears.
She tells him that she chose to marry him because she loves him and if his family cannot accept who she is, she cannot do anything about it but she's ok with just having  him, she doesn't need anything else.


Udey is ready. Vinay says he can't find Rheka.
Ranbir says they need to get going.


Lamita is all dressed up and waiting.

The family is still waiting for Rheka to come back home. Ranbir has lost his patience.
