Hima gears up to leave for her house.
Deepa asks her to come back whenever she feels like. Hima assures to visit her weekly since she is not leaving for the US.
Meanwhile at home, Soundarya is extremely worried about facing Deepa regarding her missing daughter episode. Soundarya feels that Deepa is aware that she was present at the hospital during her delivery. She is scared that Deepa might question her about the same when she comes to drop Hima and she can't lie to her now. Anand Rao tries but fails to comfort her. He requests her to keep him out of the issue.
Srilatha looks at the DNA report in her phone and thinks that Deepa will not believe her if she shows her the report. Srilatha then decides to show it to
Karthik by hook or crook. Monitha grabs the phone. This leaves Srilatha panic stricken. Monitha asks Srilatha to stop chatting with random people. Srilatha replies that she is chatting with her estranged husband about a possible compromise and patch up. This leaves Monitha surprised.

Deepa asks Karthik when he will relieve Sourya. He replies that he will not until her biological mother returns. Karthik sarcastically thanks Deepa for taking care of his daughter and offers to sponsor her (Deepa) daughter's education as well. Deepa turns down the offer and adds that her husband is bearing the expenses. Karthik further asks Deepa about her estranged husband. Deepa gives him a sarcastic reply. This leaves Karthik annoyed.
