Phaans is no more a thrilling whodunit that grabbed the audience’s attention on Saturdays; instead, it now airs midweek, the audience knows who the person is behind Zeba’s assault, and that she was telling the truth from the day it happened. After 24 episodes being aired, the audiences only concern remains to see Sahil behind bars for his crimes, and how that happens in the coming weeks. From the way Arjumand Rahim and Shahzad Sheikh are performing, one hopes the end isn’t near because they look so good opposite each other. He, teasing her with his constant ‘expression swings’ and she realizing that she gave birth to a monster every time she sees him.

The Story – Nadia moves to court against her own son, hoping to expose him!
Despite her best intentions nobody seems to believe Nadia (Arjumand Rahim) who knows her son Sahil’s secret. Neither Zeba (Zara Noor Abbas), nor her husband Siraj (Ali Tahir) stand by her for she doesn’t want to trust her, and he knows the complete story. The recently-acquitted Sahil (Shahzad Sheikh) thinks it’s all over when all of a sudden, his own mother moves court against him. She doesn’t think twice when her lawyer (Madiha Rizvi) asks her to think again, and that’s where she wins half of the battle.
Not only does she convince Zeba of her pure intentions, she also brings her to her house, tells Resham that she is safe there, and slaps her daughter Hafsa (Yashma Gill) when she calls her insane. Samad (Sami Khan) stands by her at every step, while Hashim (Zain Afzal) sees a controversy in everything; with nothing to support her theory except the now-gone Resham’s testimony, will Nadia emerge victorious, or will Sahil elude justice thanks to his dad’s clout over the police.
