Shree is questioned by her captors if she really means that she has forgotten Karthi, or if she is just pretending to do so, so that she can be freed. She assures them that she is sincere, so the old woman there (the one who acted as Thyagu's athai in Tirupaavai) calls Prem's house.
Prem receives the call, and relays the message to his father. Adhi has been observing his dad from behind a tree, sees this and follows Prem to a house, where he is meeting with some people. Adhi barges into the house (idhu ellam sarva sagajam in these serials - doors left open, people entering without knocking, answering other people's phones - I don't know if all serials do this, or is it only Tamil serials, to make it look like our people lack manners? Directors, please note) Of course, Shree is not there, but he manages to make those people doubt Prem, and leaves. They kick Prem out.
Prem's dad goes to see Shree, he tells her that once she forgets Karthi, he will get her married to Prem. She tells him that she will never believe this of Prem, and reiterates that she will only marry Karthi, she said she had forgotten him just to find out who her captor is.
Adhi tells Shruti that he suspects Prem and of his unsuccessful attempt to follow him and find Shree. Dad comes in and screams as usual. To add fuel to the fire, his friend comes in to tell him that his son is getting married and to give him the invitation. This was the guy who came to see Shruti, and SM screams at him, until finally Shruti steps in and says that had it been the other way around and she didn't like him, and she had married him just because he forced her to, wouldn't her marriage have been a disaster, and would he have wished it on her? Finally he is forced to face the facts, and he accepts the invitation grudgingly. Do such rude boors have any success in life?
Prem's house - mom doesn't eat, Prem's dad assures her that he will get married soon, so she needn't worry.
RR's car breaks down somewhere. Shree is looking out of the window, sees him, tries to attract his attention by calling out, but the woman in that house sees her and pushes her away from the window. RR looks up, sees a strange person, she says she was on the phone and talking loudly, so he goes away.
Karthi is being held somewhere by some people. He too tries to find out who is holding him captive. There is some kind of puja going on there, and he is also forced to take part and take the prasadam. The priest sees him and blesses him (I think this priest will finally be the person to notify the police, at least I hope so).
AAR goes to the store, and guess who else comes there? RR, with another woman called Jenny, and they do all this konjifying as if they are husband and wife. AAR hides and watches them. As they leave the store, SM sees them, comes up and screams away as usual without letting them get a word in. AAR is watching all this. After SM leaves, Jenny tells RR, Let us go to our house. (One more wifey for RR?)
AAR goes home, is all confused, Ganesh wants to know why, and as usual, supports RR and says SM behaved badly, screaming in public. AAR says she will prove that RR is lying, calls Anu, but Anu says that RR has already returned from Bangalore. Now AAR is even more confused, and Ganesh says it proves his point.
SM goes home, screams at his family and says he caught RR red-handed with another woman and of course, orders Adhi to have nothing more to do with Nivedha.
RR takes this Jenny to her house, turns out she is not his wife and talks to her mother, who promises to pray for his families. Jenny says she will talk to both Anu and Palli and explain that he was forced to marry Palli because he couldn't say No to her father, but RR says that will cause a pralayam.
AAR calls Pallu and they meet. As usual, AAR talks about seeing Anu's husband with another woman, but not once does she mention his name, and as usual, Palli says they must try to find the woman and tongue pull pannara madiri ask her some questions!
Karthi finds a phone in his room, calls home (these kidnappers are utter idiots, leaving a phone and its cord in the room, and Karthi is an even bigger idiot, not waiting for them to go to sleep before making his call!), talks to RR, but the captor comes in and catches him on the phone and cuts the call. RR goes to the police, tells the Inspector about the call, gives him the number and also tells him that it was Prem who didn't want Shree and Karthi to get married. I must have missed something, how did RR come to know about Prem's interest in Shree?
Thodarum, thodarum, thodarum ....
