The episode begins with Parvati confronting Adi in the garden. She looks worried and asks him how he came here. Adi asks her the same question, reminding her that the doctor had not discharged her. Parvati explains that when she woke up, she couldn’t find him at the hospital. Adi tells her that his mother, Rajeshwari, called him home in anger, so he had to leave before she regained consciousness. Parvati asks why Rajeshwari was angry and reveals that she knows everything because Adi’s younger brother, Arun, told her. She pleads with Adi not to reveal his feelings to his mother, fearing the consequences.
Adi, however, is determined. He tells Parvati that he is tired of their secret love and that now is the perfect opportunity to tell his mother the truth. He believes that while his mother might be angry initially, she will eventually accept their love. He reminds Parvati that their love story has been hidden for too long. Parvati, in tears, begs him not to do this. She warns him that if he confesses their love to his mother, she will take her own life. Adi is left shocked and speechless by her threat.
Adi walks into the house, and the entire family is gathered in the grand living room, looking tense. Parvati follows him and hides behind a pillar to listen. Rajeshwari looks furious. Adi’s father asks about Parvati’s condition. Adi lies, stating that Parvati is still unconscious in the hospital. Rajeshwari immediately confronts him, asking if he is in love with Parvati. She reveals that Vanaja has told her everything, including Adi’s desire to marry Parvati. In a shocking turn, Rajeshwari accuses Vanaja of poisoning Parvati’s milk to get her out of the way. Adi is stunned and defends Vanaja, but Rajeshwari presses on, demanding to know if he loves Parvati.
The scene flashes back to Adi being taunted by Guru and his friend. They dare him to burn Parvati’s photo to prove he doesn’t love her, but he is unable to do it, which leads them to call him a coward. Back in the present, Guru rushes in and defends Vanaja, explaining that she only did what she thought was necessary to protect the family’s honor. He declares that Parvati is his responsibility and he will marry her. Sundaram is asked to take Parvati to her room to rest. As Parvati is taken away, a flashback shows her father lovingly feeding her as a child, dreaming of her grand wedding one day. The episode ends with Adi looking conflicted and Parvati heartbroken, overhearing the chaos her love has caused.
