Sabki Pungi Baj Gayi including Viewers - Who started it ? None other than Aryan.
Events of the Episode
Sultan takes Madhu to his place at gunpoint for his son Aryan's delirious demand. Yes, Aryan is sick. RK witnessed this scene from afar in mute fashion. He was unable to see Sultan's face, unable to see the pointed gun at Madhu, but he was able to see mixed expressions of Madhu as she was standing facing him. A knowing expression towards the man who seemed to be holding her waist, and confusing way of looking at him, apprehensive that he is looking at her and to better walk away from there. RK goes back to studio, tries to be in control for few minutes, loses it and snaps at Shraddha and calls Pack-Up. Madhu at Sultan's place tends to Aryan. We see an upset father, concerned father in Sultan, who does not know parenting. We see Aryan, deeply bonding with Madhu so much that he will not let her leave. We also see Sultan confiscate Madhu's cell phone as she is talking to Padmini. Madhu is somehow able to understand all the pain and concern of the father for his kid and lectures him a little about being soft to his son and not be harsh. She is wiling by herself to stay until the kid recovers.
Episode Reviews
The episode has riled the viewers so much that the ED thread and Main Forum, all have made peace with their excitable state with fun posts, satiral posts and realistic posts. Hence, you can read all the pages. However, if you can trust me and really want to tell you which are the meaty and neutral takes ones out of all these posts then they are:
Over the Appeal of the Episode
Page 3 - FazzyBoom - Very balanced take on the emotional appeal of the Episode - Only thing I disagree with FB is that I don't see jealousy dripping from RK yet; though he has been ambushed into getting into that trap. A lot of like minded peeps agree with me there. Barring that FB has given good review on second half of the episode...Re Sultan's emotional state of mind.
Page 3 - Pnars - She advices, how you might be able to like it.
Elsewhere, Soundarya, ritzy09, Sima have liked Aryanbala bonding
Over Construct of the Episode
Page 7 - river123
Page 11 - kodai
Page 11- anastasia21
Over what's being fed to viewers - objectively as it comes
Page 7 - SD - Have tried to see from the logical side, as in the thought and forgetfulness behind the emotions, the forced action or the slowness all getting us a contrast between how RK's drama is realized, but Sultan's drama is hazy inspite of him being the gangster raising the curiosity for Sultan as a character.
Page 9 - MarathiMulgi - MM tries to find the answers behind Sultan's actions today; and all this stems because of the same stamped curiosity that I expressed above.
Page 12 - Fazzyboom - More on emotional state of Sultan per the dramatic content.
Page 13 -swapna555 - liked the fact that she clarified that RK was just uttering his dialogues and not expressing his love for Madhu. Hehe I was so lazy to refute the fallacy of rishbala fans in earlier pages. 
The popular opinion and as promoted by Colors/Cvs is that it is a jealousy Track. However, the people who disagree with the perception that RK was riled in jealousy today , per today's episode are:
Page 8 - Ananya
Page 9 - SD
Page 13 - kodai
And this is Colors promotion of their new track.
They want your feedback if you want RK-Madhu or Sultan-Madhu or RK-Dipali.
This was the last saying on their promo
Sultan the Other Man: Lastly, let's not forget that how much ever RK tries to hide his feelings for Madhu he can't help but feel the pinch of seeing her with another man. This was proven when he saw Sultan with Madhu and since then has been having sleepless nights and nightmares about the two. His conscious has been playing against him and in a frenzy of jealousy he might just push Madhu away from him and right into Sultan's waiting arms. This way Sultan wouldn't have to move a muscle to make Madhu his and RK would have to suffice with Deepali. Who do you think make a much better pair? RK-Madhu or Sultan-Madhu? Let us know in your comments below!
Don't vent here...Go to media thread. You will have fun there with feedback we posted.

Serious review
You missed the other thing I said about Madhu. That Madhu's dictionary of langauge is being re-written. That now every word probably is the opposite of what she knew as. This is the best and closest explanation I could give.
Some one from Madhu loving-understanding Camp may be able to explain you further.
At this point i will just say...totally go into sarcastic or parody mode until something touches your heart.
Did you notice that; surprisingly at this point we only understand RK and Madhu is nowhere close to be understood. And Sultan is so strange...Bhai ke naam pe dhabba (stain). He is not sending out frightful vibes. Instead today Madhu had mercy on him, and was ready to be kidnapped by him, ready to lecture him and ready to keep quiet, ready to understand his wish of why he wants her there at his house, ready to take care of his son, ready to understand why he snatched the phone from her. Only Madhu understands him ...just like she used to understand RK before. With RK, since he used to yap, she used to be quiet, and now Sultan is quiet, so she yaps.
Sultan...he is now totally inscrutable to me. Now the initial days of his eyes beckoning me...that attraction is also gone. He was unattractive today, looked a little squinty. God!! why does he look so vulnerable instead of being fearful. What is his story ?
That RN (that's the old man's name), he is dressed mighty posh...ofcourse so is Sultan...dressed like a hunk. Since when Bhai started dressing like hunks. I remember Dawood Ibrahim, he was a skinny guy, I remember Chhota Rajan, he used to look as the chubby guy.
What's the dominant Rasa of today's episode? Its adbhuta like The Leaning Tower of Pisa. The Tower doesn't fall... Wonderment galores at the impractical chain of events before us.
And again I don't care what people say there ...amidst the whole drama, the only convincing person psychologically and behavioural terms; was RK. He tried his best to act normal, gave his best shot, followed Madhu when he realized, she might not have liked the shot, runs after her; sees her with a hunk, keeps his face normal, registers her different kinds of reactions (one she gives to the man when she does not know that he is watching her and other when she looks at him), doubts something, wants to see who is the guy...but is unable to see him.
At this point, he leaves everything as personal between Madhu and that man, coz obviously Madhu seemed to know him. And yet when is back on set, as tries to be normal, one reminder from Shraddha, her frustration that where is Madhu gone, angers him too. And poor girl becomes his punching bag to let out his steam. What I liked today was...atleast for few minutes into the episode, he was calm and trying to be in control...which he miserably failed at.
Using a kid for bonding...very cliched technique. And I like and bond with kids, but not more than it is necessary. Kids are naturally selfish. Since I care for all people equally, I also would like to think of the kids parents, on what they would feel if I shower unnecessary affection on their kids. The guy on day 1 ...said NO showering affection on my kid...and day 2 - I am kidnapping you so that your shower your affection on him. Is he sane ? Or is he also another nut-case in MBVerse ?At this rate may be he would like to keep Madhu permanently at his house. How about him making a plan as what to do with Madhu. Does he think, her ex-husband or her mother will not raise any furore in Mumbai again ? Or will Madhu become yet another "Wolf coming" "Wolf coming" case until she really is lost.
I feel for Padmini. You can see her face, how lost she feels with knowing nothing about Madhu and just deludes herself with the meager information that Madhu is providing that all is well. A couple of months back that used to be Radhaji's case...
BTW: Madhu is going to doing her second night-out going by the looks of it. Even RK has just an hour's nap. So does Bittuji until the current 36 hour range.
the entire Sultan scenes were constructed like a house from the Pack of Cards. Very confounding and dull...so we just keep watching it with nothing making any sense to us.

Shri,
Very apt explanation of RKs behavior. I agree to it. Many of us read his expressions and behavior as jealousy. Somehow, his expressions while he was watching Madhu with Sultan reflected anything but jealousy to me. He came across as more concerned to me.
Ananya,
I too got the feeling that he is not jealous, but he is deeply intrigued at the events and mixed signals that Madhu is giving him consciously and unconsciously (like his dream). And as any rational man who needs to get to the bottom of the issue, he just became personal, expecting he might get any kind of reaction from her. Although RK is using all wrong words when asking her, he is actually giving all right warnings to her and still able to express his true concern for her.
Now the fortification that Madhu is building up that if in future RK ever tells her that he loves in a romantic manner...and the way we are thinking that Madhu will never believe his romantic delivery again...IMO, RK, is never going to romantically express that to her...he is going to be passionate about it...it will be an emotional burst in a fit of anger, which Madhu would have believe it as truth and yet deny in obstinacy...the way currently things are happening between them.
Thing is Madhu is thinking she is countering OLD RK. But issue is Madhu is not realizing that even RK is changing, and he is now not the one whom she used to know as. And even now, RK has acted faster than her and is trying to find out how far she is changing. Its very fluid kind of situation between them now.
Sach Poocho tho...now the quarrel tomorrow that they will have...its the actual kind of husband and wife squabble ...very disgusting to watch. Once the dust settles down, they both will know, no way anything is clear. This why courts never settle the divorce easily for spouses...until they are completely sure that there is nothing going on between the two parties.

Agreed. The dream has left him all baffled and intrigued. On top of that, the fact that the man is stranger to him(well so far). So, this escalates his curiosity and concern even more.
@bold: We concluded that Madhu is becoming withdrawn and closed. In that case, it is obvious that she will not see through the changes taking place in his behavior. I think prior to their drunk drama, even she was confused with the mixed signals he was giving out. But, now it looks like she has willingly blinded herself to all of it. May be that is more like resigning to fate and she thinks it will just make it easier for her to move on.
RK has always been shown to bemore perceptive than Madhu. Even in his most vulnerable state, he has not failed to see the transformations that she is going through. Speaks something of his stunningly astute senses that seem to register everything but the turmoil that he himself is going through.
Re their conforntation tomorow, I completely second you. Unlike a lot of peeps here, after reading the WU, I am actually not that excited for it. In fact, to my own surprise, I have not even checked out the SBS segment yet.

@bold 1 - No that does not mean that she has to stop discerning changes in others.
@ bold 2 - Agree
@bold 3 - Agree
@ bold 4 - because the guy is a defensive person. Honestly, when did he ever initiate an offensive by himself. He always reacts to external stimuli, he changes his strategy based on others actions. And this is first time his psyche hurts him, disturbs him and so he is not knowing how to understand it, whom to attack, but is as usual reactive to his state of mind. He is expressing his dissonance through breaking things but that is not getting him answers. He is listening a lil bit if someone is telling him...like his mother, Madhu or even Bittuji. See carefully...he reacted to all these three...actually to even Trishna. And everything of all this has been accepted by him and therefore that Tujhe Bhula diya song with unwedding scenes and later that dream. If you look from my window, he has made reasonable progress towards identifying what is most precious to him now...he knows now that his life is in Madhu ...like that Rakshas whose life is in the parrots heart in old mythological stories. So obviously he is going to be jumping all over the place for his life. Now the stage is being set for new lessons for him...like the question...why does he consider Madhu as his life. It shall be another realization.
Thing is he has slowly turn to his heart for answers and not look at others. That is going to be a long journey for him, considering he definitely stifled it from last 5 years since he came a successful movie star.

Why would Sultan seek out Madhu himself this time? Last time she had wandered accidentally in his path and ruined whatever that he had planned for his enemies. He saw firsthand Madhu's interactions with Aryan then. Aryan bonded with her. Now Aryan is sick. Without knowing anything about Aryan's and Sultan's past so far, all I see is a motherless kid who got attached to Madhu. Maybe he recognized the compassionate soul in her and is yearning for that motherly affection. Maybe during his sickness he got obstinate and kept asking to see her. Sultan afterall is a father at heart after you remove the trappings of his business (meaning gangster) and is willing to do anything for his kid. Whether he has any previous enmity with RK, if he has planned to ruin RK either personally or professionally we don't know yet. Kid's sickness is unplanned, so at this point I would just see Sultan just as a father who is acting out of the best interest for his kid. And the only way he knows how to approach Madhu is based on his experience of dealing with people - i.e. using guns, threatning them with their loved ones life. That is all I managed to get out of today's episode. Sultan seems to be a man of few words and does not do small (or othewise any) talk.
Madhu on the other hand once again is on a mission. She is thrilled in a sense to be distracted from her own serious issues with RK. After Mukund and RK it is Sultan's (and Aryan's)turn now for her attention/sympathy/care. Once again her family needs to take a backseat and wait patiently wondering what will come out of it this time.In addition to that, they don't even know what is going on this time.
