Kolangal

In the hospital, much confusion. The hospital needs 10 lakh rupees to perform surgery on Abhi. Her mother turns on Aarti. If you can, get the money. Otherwise, shut up. Aarti shuts up, (doing us all a great favor). Meanwhile, the seth, after talking to Adi, puts a call through to his son,who is leading the money to Ishwaran. Back to the pavilion, he says. The son, who has just reached the hospital and it is greeted anxiously by Iswaran, tells him he has just received instructions to return with the money.

Easwaran returns home in great anger. He shouts for Adi, who appears on the balcony upstairs. Easwaran goes up the stairsand demands to know what his son has done. Kanchana and her mother come up to see what is going on. She accuses her husband of supporting Abhi against his own son. He says he is only doing an atonement for his son's sins. She continues to accuse him off and undue soft corner forAbhi. finally in frustrationhe says he will tell them why he is concerned about Abhi. His mother-in-law tries to stop him, succeedsthe first couple of times. But, when Kanchana keeps taunting him, he shouts that he will tell them why. This is too much for his mother-in-law, who shouts saying he should not, and then collapses. She is dead.

Adi accuses his father of murdering his grandmother. The cremation gets over, and at the ghat, after having performed the ceremonies, Adi turns on his father, yelling and screaming and lunging at him. Others restrain him. When Easwaran returns home, Kanchana asks him to get out of the house. Adi rants. Easwaran leaves home, and takes a long walk. His daughter spots him walking on the roadand tries to reason with him, but he ignores her and keeps on walking. He reaches the beach.

Arasi
Sentamilarasi's mother, continues her diplomatic initiative. Today she visits the estranged daughter in law, and tries to reason with her, telling her that she has been unfair to Sentamilarasi, who had been so fond of her. The daughter-in-law says she cannot do anything without her brother's consent.

Minor brouhaha, amongst Sentamilarasi's colleagues. Two of them have dropped some uncharitable remarks about their boss (Sentamilarasi) to the inquiry committee. The third, Iman Ali, is miffed at this. An argument ensues, and he tenders his resignation to the police commissioner. the commercial refuses to accept his resignation, saying he does not want to lose an honest officer like him.

Tamarai's father brings Aishwarya to the hospital. She has been sick for a couple days, running fever. The doctor examines her, then leaves the room and calls Nallatambi. He describes the young patient, and Nallatambi is overjoyed to that this is actually GJ's own daughter. He tells the doctor to give some medicine that would actually make her condition worse, and ask her to come back in a couple days. The doctor does so. Nallatambi chuckles to himself, saying to G. J.that he is going to take revenge on him through his own daughter.

Kaveri visits her father in jail, only this time he sees her. He subtly encourages her to kill Sentamilarasi, but to wait until she gets into uniform, after her suspension is lifted.
