Opening scene: Tamil is handing over MK to his parents. MK cries to his father, mother, anyone who will listen - why me? He bawls on Chithappa's shirt (who looks too old to have a young daughter like Meena), and KS scolds him for being so tender-hearted. Tamil interrupts and then proceeds to give a lecture of her own, on how one must never give up, regardless of gender, and cites her own example for hiding all her problems behind a smiling face (blowing your own trumpet, lady?). KS thanks her for bringing back MK safely and she takes her leave. Mrs. KS and KS decide to visit a repured astrologer nearby so they can do all the parigaarams.
Karthik enters and tells Meena to bring his food to his room. KS comes in and scolds him for leading Prema on , he denies having led her on, Saravanan comes in and tells all about his pawning the ring and using the money for his own use. He continues to deny, and then says that Saravanan is meeting his AE in private and is using this as a diversionary tactic..Saravanan denies it, KS and KK look at each other and decide to go to Alangudi for parigaarams.
KS and wifey go to MK's room and find him lying on the bed, and take leave of him after encouraging him to go to the store and resume his usual schedule.
Tamil's house, mom is doing Puja, all the family assembles and they do community puja. She thanks God for this day, since they are going to get their house back, and dad asks when the money will be available. She says that Mr. Varadarajan has said that he will come there at 7:30. Everyone is waiting, no signs of him, and she and the others are waiting anxiously.
Thodarum ....
