Raji is sitting in front of her Pooja room with her eyes closed, and seems like she is deep thought. MAdan & rohini enter and call out Amma , Amma, but no response from Raji. So Madan calls out for Karthik, & Karthik comes down and madan asks him what happened to Amma. Karthik replies that since amma came from the temple she has been sitting like this and does not utter a word. Then Rohini Shakes Raji calling her Athai, AThai and Raji opens her eyes.
They ask Raji what happened, she says that she had gone to the temple to pray that RK should return safely soon, and kept the kumkumam in her forehead, and when she turned around she saw that DEVIL( that is right the DEVIL). She went on and said that Abhirami told her very sarcastically that your Thali will nellaikum to Raji. Madan & Karthik want to kill her, but Raji says this is why she never mentioned anything to Karthk, as she knew he will lose his temper.
AT this moment Rohini mentions that if you all dont mistake me let me tell you all something, the reason our kudumbam is like this is because of Shanthi's tears. as you all have wronged her in one way or the other. Karthi (my friend calls him bracket kai) agrees to this, and asks his mom to go and visit shanthi and ask her to come back. Raji is hesistant at first , but rohini convinces her that if Athai goes Shanthi will come. Raji says kadvule., and as suggested by Karthik, plans to leave with Karthik's friend Balaji.
Now Abhirami is shown in the office talking to her lawyer, inquiring about her divorce case. She mentions that she wants to put madan in jail, where he can never get any bail, as she cannot stand watching madan with rohini. The lawyer says that she needs provide proof where in there is evidence linking Madan as Rohini's husband. Abhirami remembers that Madan had signed the hospital register during Rohini's delivery, gi ving them permission to operate on Rohini. Now Abhirami heads to the hospital bribes the account register guy and acquires the document with MAdan signature stating he is Rohini's husband.
Now Srini's car is shown stuck in the middle of the road and the kandhuvaddi karan approaches him and inquires about RK's disapperance. Srini is trying to avoid him. The conversation between these 2 is being noticed by the Inspector who is following the Kandhuvadikarran. Then the Kandhuvadikarran, meets another accomplice in a hotel and is plotting on getting the Dhanalakshmi(he is referring to abhirami, as she acquired all of RK's property) on to his side.
In the meantime Balaji & Raji arrive at kannikapuram(im not sure about the village name) at Shanthi's residence which is locked. Raji stops a lady walking in the road nearby and inquires about shanthi. The lady says that shanthi has gone to the temple to do Thali poojai, for the save return of her mamanar. Raji is so moved, so they decide to go to the Amman temple where the pooja is happening. Raji & Balaji witness the entire pooja, & at the very end the little girl notices Raji and calls out patti. Now Shanthi also sees them and then offers kumkumam to Raji and they both hug. Shanthi says dont worry athai, though mama was tough with me, he is a very honest, & genuine person, so nothing bad will ever happen to him and he will return safely. Raji has a flash back of Abhirami calling RK a coward the previous day, and she appreciates shanthi more. Shanthi is trying to talk more, when Raji says, let us go home and talk the rest. Shanthi is thinking that surely athai has come to take me with her, how am i going to tell her that i wont come with her, the screen freezes on Shanthi's face.
