Pat is busy getting ready to go out. She is carrying a basket. Roja comes there and wants to know where Pat is going in a hurry.
Pat : I have been too busy these last few weeks due to exams, birthdays and attending graduations. I have had no time to do my groceries, and as it is all over, I have to go now and it is very urgent!
Roja: Why the hurry? The grocery store is just around the corner!
Pat : Have you forgotten your email to me about not forgetting the poison bottle. I have to get it because Rukku of Muhurtham needs it urgently.
Roja (Thinks for a moment) Tell you what, can I follow you.
Pat hesitates at first, but seeing Roja's pavum face she agrees to take her.
At the store, Pat is busy getting grocery and after her basket is full, she goes to the pharmacy section and looks at all sorts of poison for rodents, insects, animals all in different colors. Pat stands there confused as to which one to get. She thinks (some flashback going thru her mind - Sneha drinking something that looked like honey) and decides to get that. After paying for the purchase she decides to leave and finds that Roja is missing.
She calls for Roja and after a few minutes, Roja appear with a bottle in her hand.
Pat : Where have you been and what bottle are you having in your hand?
Roja (with an innocent look): Oh nothing just some powdered candy (showing a miniature milk bottle full of pink powder).
Pat does have some suspicion but brushes it aside and they go back. Once back at the lounge, Roja helps Pat arrange the grocery. Pat is tired and leaves.
Next day, at the If lounge, there is an uproar. Pat asks what is going on and Atina, Meli, Sue and Usha are all talking at the same time.
Atina tells Pat that the IF Lounge pantry has been burglarized and that the poison bottle isd missing. Pat gets worried and quickly turns and look for Roja and is relieved to find her sucking the candy milk bottle and playing by herself with some game of target practice.
That evening, Pat sits down to watch Muhurtham. First scene is showing Rukku going to the kitchen after feeding the family with nila soru. She takes out the bottleof poison from the cupboard. Pat is shocked to see that it is the bottle she bought from the store! Rukku opens and drinks the whole content and faints.
Break.
Next scene - Rukku is rushed to the hospital andis admitted into the ICU (most famous ward in serials)ward. After sometime the doctor comes out and says that Rukku is out of danger, but there is going to be some changes in her. Everyone is relieved.
They all go in to see Rukku. Suddenly a scream is heard - It is Ganapathy, he is totally shocked. Rukku has suddenly grown facial hair. Yes - moustache and beard! She has turned into a man. THODARUM.
Next morning, everyone is gathered around in the IF lounge reading a flash news.
It seems someone had changed the honey bottle which is supposedly the poison Rukku drank with some ayurvedic medicine for sex change! The police are investigating.
Pat turns and looks at Roja who is oblivious to the commotion. She notices the sly look on Roja and thinks that maybe Roja had something to do with this.
Roja thinking: HA! HA! Pazhi vangithen intha Rukku va aduthatu - Jeeva.............
Pat goes to the pantry and locks the door.
