KOLANGAL
Mano, with Suresh and his buddy, go over to Maddy's house, a mansion where he teaches dance. They call him out. They tell him to stay away from Anjali. When he asks who they are, they tell him they are her relatives. Suresh says he is her elder brother (a tortuous construction, but so what). When Maddy asks them to buzz off, words follow, and they beat him up, severely. His students come out hearing commotion, and in the finest Indian tradition, stand by watching. Maddy is badly injured. Toward the end of this blow-fest, Anjali drives up,  rushes to Maddy's aid, dispersing the trio. She asks Maddy why he didn't fight back. He says lamely that it was because they claimed they were her relatives.

Anjali escorts him to his room (maybe the mansion was not his). There he declares his feelings for her. She too is troubled by her feelings for him.

Later Anjali comes over to Mano's house, demands to see him. He enters shortly after her, and she yells at him, telling Anu in the process what has happened.

At Ganga's house, Ganga comes home and scolds her father for yelling at Tolkappian. Ramachandran talks ill of her relations with Tolkappi8an, whereupon, as previously threatened, she pulls out her slippler and thrashes him.  He leaves in a huff, telling his wife she is going to pay for this.

SELVI
The commissioner takes steps to rescind the anticipatory bail, by talking to the judge. Clouseau salutes the judge smartly and obtains the new warrant for GJ's arrest. Then he goes to the GJ household and takes GJ into custody. Tamarai's bluster is blunted by the new warrant, and GJ's father collapses into a chair, fainting briefly.

Clouseau applies the famous Madras Police 'mariyadai' to GJ. But GJ has only one word for them, 'teriyaadu', i.e., don't know. He denies knowing Pandian, Pasupathi, anything else.

Selvi comes to the commisioner's office to plead that Dileepan be released, now that GJ has been apprehended. Commisioner is sympathetic, and assures her that steps will be taken quickly. Clouseau appears. Says GJ is mentally strong and cannot be broken. Meanwhile, Amar shows up at the Commissioner's office protesting GJ's arrest. Finally, the Commissioner plays GJ's tape for Amar. Amar is thoroughly shaken. Instead of shouting at us, thank this lady, it is because of her we were able to trace the real kidnapper, says the Commissioner. But Amar leaves without even looking at Selvi.

PENN
Ranga has moved into the house of her childhood. Kailash tells her of Poongadi's scheme, and says his father now believes her, and she has moved into the flat. He says he has betrayed Deepa (what that means is your guess). Ranga launches into a flashback, saying that things we imagine are not always so. She says she grew up under an authoritarian father, who had a terrible temper. Her elder sister would often take the blame for her errors so as to save her a beating. At school, her best friends were Kala and Uma. Uma went to do college back in Tiruchi, and Kala and she remained classmates in college. Badri was Kala's cousin, and was raised by Kala's mother. In due course it was arranged by his parents and Kala's mother that they would marry. However, Ranga fell in love with Badri, but when she  expressed her feelings, he said there could be no approach between their relative statuses. She was downcast.

Kailash listens with great surprise and interest.
