In the latest episode of Karthika Deepam, Hima and Sourya are delighted to see Karthik and Deepa at home. Hima asks Karthik to drop the bet and return home. Sourya says she is also homesick.
Soundarya is worried that the kids might spoil their plan. She quickly intervenes and tells the kids that the bet has to continue and they need to stay away from their parents for a few more months. Karthik reluctantly sings along. Hima asks Karthik to drop Deepa at her home. Karthik and Deepa leave. Deepa thanks Soundarya for all the help.
At home, Deepa is seen doing the dishes and Karthik’s sleep is disturbed by this. He wakes up and shouts at Deepa asking her to let him sleep. She says it is her job as she needs to cook for her clients as well. Karthik says he can pay her for not disturbing him. She replies that she is ready to take if he is willing to pay as her husband. This leaves Karthik annoyed. He goes into the washroom to take a bath. By the time Deepa can inform him that the floor is slippery, Karthik slips. Deepa catches hold of him.
Monitha, who visits the house to get Karthik lunch, notices this. Unable to digest the sight, Monitha leaves.
Karthik joins for the lunch and Deepa serves him the food bought by Monitha. Karthik hates the food. Deepa then serves the food cooked by her. Karthik says he will not have her food until she agrees to treat him like a client and accept payment for the same. Deepa is hurt by his words. But she eventually agrees and loathes her ill fate.
Karthik pledges to make Deepa send him away within just six days.
