The snake flairs its hood and stops Surya, who pleads with it to move away. But the snake bites Surya. Despite the snake bite, Surya reaches the ‘Kattamman’ temple but faints before lighting the lamp.
When Surya informs the family that Devi visited him, Tara feigns happiness for him. Later, an evil Tara appears in front of a portrait of Devi and boastfully declares that she will send Surya and Maari to her, and if she fails to do so, she will not hesitate to kill the unborn child if Maari becomes pregnant.
Maari and Hasini dress up Jasmine for the nuptial night. Maari advises Jasmine to take good care of Murugan. Hasini pokes fun at Jasmine when she loses the challenge and gets married to Murugan.
Jasmine further tells Maari that her happiness is short-lived as she will tell Surya to put mehndi for her. Surya readily agrees to apply mehndi for Maari. Jasmine gets jealous to see Surya applying mehndi for Maari.
Maari feels empathy towards Surya and becomes frustrated with Tara's manipulation of him. Maari turns to Devi in prayer, seeking help to teach Tara a lesson.
Surya returns with the idol, which relieves Maari. Surya and Maari return home with the idol, they then place the idol in the puja room and worship it.
Sujatha and the family panic when Maari's sari mysteriously catches fire. Surya rushes with the blanket and puts off the fire. Surya astonished by Durga's words takes the toy gun and is aghast to find acid in it instead of water.
