Thenu informing Swami that Rani, is sitting thinking of old memories. Swami request thenu to bring her back to celebrate Karthikai Dheepam. Thenu tells that this can be done by Swami himself, because Rani was not listening to them. Finally thenu agrees that she shall go and pacify Rani along with Sara. Both kids trying to pacify Rani, where Rani tells she is remembering all the sweet memories which they had last year along with her akka family. Vani too in the same thoughts remebering Rani, and the kids. Surya coming and speaking with Vani, where she informs Surya that last Dheepam, they had enough of fun and joy and she did not expect that everything will go upside down in the next one year and the family has shattered into bits and pieces. Surya says that she should remember this Dheepam also unlike last year. Vani continues sure she will because this is the first Dheepam without Rani and Thenu. Surya then brings Vani down, where the house is full of lights, lamped by Devi. Vani continues, that the happiness of the entire family has gone without Rani, and now atleast Devi has brought a smile in their faces, and leaves. Devi continues her mind talk, that she has now entered the family as a match stick and later she will ruin the entire family, and Vani cannot smile anymore.
