Update: November 14, 2008
Some lame comic relief. Srini returns home to find the door unlocked. He wonders whether thieves have broken into his house but is puzzled as everything seems intact. Then he spots wife Rani in the kitchen. Rani says she is back to try to reform Srini, who is making a fool of himself and is becoming a public nuisance too (not exactly in those words but you get the drift of her intention from the previous episode). Some inconsequential dialogue. Srini claims her absence has changed him as he has begun to realize her qualities. Rani doesn't buy the crap. She remains skeptical but seems intent on staying put to keep a leash on Srini.
Shanti and Rocky in clinic. Doctor says it's just a fever and asks whether Rocky had felt giddy before. Shanthi gets Rocky to wait outside and then tells the doctor about Rocky's cancer, which was believed to have been in remission. Doctor says the fever could be a symptom of a relapse and suggests taking Rocky to the doctor who had treated his cancer. He gives Rocky a jab to take care of the fever.
Manisha at home talking to Mom on the phone. The usual, stale dialogue about the same old dilemma that won't go away. Indhu comes home alone and discloses that Rocky has been taken to the hospital by Shanti. Manisha calls Shanthi, who tells her to join her at the hospital.
At hospital, where Shanthi and Rocky are waiting to see the doctor, RK comes in. Some sogam dialogues.
Anita at home waiting for Arjun. She too has been alerted and wants to go to the hospital. Arjun comes home. He suggests that they not go to the hospital and raise the panic level. (The only sensible dialogue today. Good advice since it is already amber alert.)
At ashram, Manisha's Mom is in soga kattam. RK comes in. She asks what's happened. RK says we'll have to wait and see. More polambals by Ammijaan.
Crybaby Karthik polambifying to doctor. Blurts out all the family secrets -- I helped Rocky in his cancer cure when I had no idea who he was; it was all out of charity; now, I know he is my son, I am overwhelmed by love. Blah, blah. (Needless dialogue before a doctor.) Shanthi and Manisha then come in with Rocky and are surprised to see Karthik with the doctor. (No knocks? Or perhaps they had gone to an adjoining room for a test and in the meantime Karthik had barged in?) Karthik goes to sonny boy and hugs him and cries. Overly melodramatic. (Mr Viduthalai, can you stop these needless tearjerkers and give us anandham?) Doctor tells the crowd that they won't know anything until the test results are out and suggests that they return with Rocky in two days' time.
Husband, wife, lover and illegitimate son walk out of hospital together. Shanthi's Atthai calls and says she and Mama are going to the temple to do a prayer for Shanth's wellbeing. Shanthi hangs up and says she wants to take Rocky to the temple. Manisha offers to go along but Shanthi says there's no need since she's going to the temple in Mama's village. Karthik says why bother when doctors are here. Shanthi says she has faith in the power of prayer. (But, imagine, taking a sick boy all the way to a temple in the village. And that too without his biological mother.) Manisha gives in and Shanthi walks off with Rocky. Karthik gazes at her as she leaves and says he can't understand her but Manisha says she can understand. Ends.
