KOLANGAL
Ramachandran shows up at his new tenants residents, making clumsy passes at her.  She seemed surprised, but not too offended.  While this was going on, Gunga appears, along with her brother.  She warns Kalaivani to beware of this louse. He slinks away.  Later, Gunga returns home and finds her mother not home.  Upon asking, her younger sister informs her that mother and the other sister have gone to the hospital, mother was not feeling well.  They soon return.  The doctor has advised her mother to undergo a scan right away, any delay would result, possibly in complications.  The standard requiresa great deal of money.  Her father and Ramachandran come up to see what's going on.  Upon being told off a situation, father refuses to give any money, saying that the doctors are all money grabbing a lot anyhow, and his wife will better served by consulting a country doctor near Tanjore. Ramachandran seconds this.  Gunga is furious, and tells her father that he had better have the money ready.

Tolkappian arrives at Abhi's place.  She scores him for adopting violent means to get the signatures from the apartment owners.  He says there was no other way.  He says everything is ready for the registration tomorrow morning.he has made other arrangements.  When she asks what these arrangements are, he refuses to divulge them, saying that she does not trust his judgment anyway!  He leaves.

SELVI
big celebration taking place, the new hotel, in grand style. Selvi does the opening ceremony, and then sits down to survey the success.  Niranjan does all the hosting duties, offering everybody thinks to eat asking their comfortable etc..  At this point, Romba too much grabs hold of Ceylon Mani and takes her aside.  She makes a sitdown, saying how the whole place has been built up doing to color and her husband's efforts.  She runs down Selvi and says that unless she is careful she will be left with nothing as will her family and son.  The brainwashing takes hold.  Ceylon Mani is noticeably cool when her husband comes and asks her to take part in the festivities.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Sentamilarasi and her husband are told by the doctor with that dead child really needs to be seen by a specialist.  They tell him that they were headed to Bombay to see the specialist, but could not secure an appointment.  The specialist, Dr. Irwin, was busy.  The doctor says, by a strange chance, Dr. Irwin himself is coming to Chennai in a few days.  He promises to secure an appointment to see that daughter in Chennai itself.  They agree.  Then Sentamilarasi settles down for a long sulk session.  Her poor husband tries to cajole her, to little avail.

GJ and Nallathambi a traveling together in the Jeep.  gJ asks why Nallathambi came back in Bombay.  He answers, because you're not able to settle the matter. GJ makes a wisecrack that he knows who tried to kill Selvi. It was Nallathambi! Nallathambi is angry. He did not do it, he says. Because you haven't told me yet that you will not be  able to do it. then, Nallathambi  utters a bombshell. the knife was aimed at you, he tells GJ.
