KOLANGAL
Usha is in a gift store with her son (who suddenly looks two years old). With her are Anu and Mano (when the hatchet was buried is not clear).  Anu insists on buying a gift for her nephew. Secretly dispatches Mano with her bangles to pawn to buy the gift. An expensive toy is bought and given to the kid, in the face of protests from Usha. Usha tells Anu about Anjali's admirer, who insists on visiting her. She is scared that the engagement to Kishore may be jeopardized by all this, but no one will listen to her. She says shelongs for her friendship with Abhi. Anu says Abhi is wonderful, and Usha should come home sometime. Usha agrees.

Once again her new colleagues pressure Abhi to drop Tols. She recalls all the pros and cons, how Tols was a tower of strength at all the crisis points. Also, the charges against him lately, and how he had not been forthcoming. She is still in a dilemma.

SELVI
After much quoting of the Gita by Clouseau as regards duty, Selvi hands over the tape. He says he will have GJ cool his heels, then settle Pandian's account. Tells Selvi too many women in our country are stopped by their traditional view of their husband (can do no wrong) and live miserable lives tolerating all kinds of bad things by men. She should be an example to them all.

Pandian's flunky goes to kill Karthan, who has by now slipped his bonds and escaped. He crawls on the sand, climbs over boulders, while the flunky reports this to Pandian, who now heads off to do the deed himself. Finally, Karthan reaches a railway track and runs along it. Waiting for him is a figure in black kurta-pyjama, Karthan runs right into a knife the figure is holding. The face is shown -- with a dark black beard and moustache, and with sunglases, asking Karthan. Do you remember what you did? Then  there is a flashback of all the bad stuff that happened with the burning of Selvi's family jewelry store in Sri Lanka. The guy is Selvi's father, made young no doubt by yogic penances during these months of absence.

PENN
No serial drags more. They take so much time to say so little. Anyway, Kailash throws out Karthik from Ranga's room, where the boy is yelling at Ranga. Kailash tells Ranga Deepa is not to be dissuaded from her plan. Ranga blabbers on about how she is torn between Akash the crook and Akash the son.

Poongadi has left a note for her mother saying she is marrying a man of his dreams, and not to look for her. Mother immediately begins a 100 yard sprint (to where, is not clear -- to Kasi's house, most likely).

Mohini reaches Solai's home as he is dreaming about her. She says, make me MD, and then watch -- as she says this, she takes his hand in hers, giving him all kinds of hopes.

Kailas arrives in Tanjavur at the college, looking for Ravindran (didn't they say Ravindran was in Calcutta? But who's counting?).

Yuck!
