The friends try to avoid the match through playful schemes, but their plans backfire and they even get into minor trouble with the police before being released. The episode underscores the social pressures looming over their relationship.

Varkey, the aging garage worker, endures a stream of scolding from a drunken man who visits to vent his anger.

Sarath's father tells him that they would have arranged something if he had spoken earlier, but now it is too late. He advises Sarath to forget the matter and move on. The conversation marks a turning point, as the family wraps around the looming marriage.

On the eve of the wedding, Sarath accidentally goes to Shari's room and finds keepsakes from their shared childhood. Shari reveals that she has liked him since childhood but kept silent because he showed no interest back. Now they realize their affection, but she laments that it may already be too late.

Sarath meets Sahadevan, who makes it clear that he never intended a lifelong match and had lied to Shari. The revelation upends Shari's understanding and adds a layer of betrayal to the relationships. It also explains why the marriage had been being pushed.

On the wedding day, Sarath marries Shari in the same planned time, surprising everyone. The ceremony resolves the immediate tension and unites the couple despite the earlier obstacles. Friends and family watch as the couple commits to a future together.
