SELVI (Episode 323)

Ranjani kindles Tamarai's worst instincts by feeding her a steady line of taunts from Selvi's stealing her husband to Selvi being disloyal for all her help, to Selvi's family scrounging off Tamarai's dad, to Selvi poisoning her family against her. She tells Tamarai to be reliant on her and her cohorts, rather than anyone else. Tamarai's rage rises. At Deverajan's place, Andavan and Devarajan, along with strategic interventions by Karthalingam, suggest to Dileepan that Maya is available for marriage. Dileepan at first refuses, but, after allowing them to sweet talk him, cleverly accepts, then smiles to himself at his strategic win. Later, GJ goes to Dileepan and demands his 2 crores back. Dileepan tries to explain to him, but he will not listen, and grabs him by the collar. Dileepan politely tells him he will call security. GJ leaves, full of threats. Dileepan calls Selvi and tells her GJ doesn't understand he is doing all this to scuttle Andavan, and that the entire plan will unravel if he continues to be disruptive. While he is meeting Selvi at what seems to be only restaurant in the city for all Selvi episodes, Maya comes down the path and sees the two of them engrossed in conversation.
