Andavan Moves in, Thiru-Sister Meeting

Selvi
Andavarlingam goes to the lockup and taunts GJ.

Conversation in Tamarai's house: Pooja says she will not go to Maya's place, after what Maya has done to her brother. Tamarai is pleading with her not to let one relationship interfere with another. Meanwhile, Andavarlingam and Co. walk in. To everyone's surprise, he says he agrees with Pooja. He too was so disgusted with what Maya did that he had severed all relations with his brother-in-law's family (Maya's) and moved out. His sidekick Kartha helpfully asks, should I book tickets? Andavan plays the sympathy card: "Are you nuts? Here is brother GJ in trouble, and you are suggesting we go abroad? Of course not. Book me a hotel room." To which the crony says, "Where can we find a hotel for a man of your status? Why not stay at Madame Tamarai's place?" Andavarlingam makes protesting noises, but Tamarai immediately says, "This is your house. You can stay as long as you want.". So it is settled.

In Selvi's place, Selvi is sitting alone, weeping. Niranjan comes and talks to her. After a long conversation, where she tells him about Tamarai's words, he seems to melt, and says he will help her secure GJ's release.

Manaivi
Thiru goes to the hospital to meet Aruna (his sister). She says Divya is a fine girl, and Thiru's responsibility is to look after her and keep her happy. She says she was wrong in mistreating Divya. Thiru is surprised by her about-face, and asks what had happened. She refuses to tell him, says she and he cannot stay in the same home again, and that if he comes to see her again, he should only come with Divya.

At Krishnaveni (really, Hamsaveni)'s place, she explodes in anger when her father-in-law calls her to eat. His parents send Ramani to pacify her. He tries talking to her.

Divya hands her resignation to her lecher boss. He tries to misbehave again, but she spits on his face, shoves him aside, and leaves.

Mala's mother tries to tell her about Arasu's involvement in Sivapragasam's murder. She is agitated, but says she will talk to Arasu. He is standing right outside the room, listening.
