Nishant offers to take Amma with him, but Amma is apprehensive as she knows Seema will not welcome her. Amma is upset that its not even 13 days yet and the brothers are squabbling and none of them have any respect for the occasion of grief. The 13th day arrives. The rituals are completed and the brothers find that the ritual has to be repeated after a year. Amma orders that the ritual be completed today itself as it is not clear if everyone would come one yr down the line. Mamaji is the first to leave. Bitto is in love with Rahul, but he pushes her away, saying that she is just "friends with benefits". Nisanth and Seema leave. Seema hugs Amma before leaving, and shows genuine concerns for her.

Amma converts the house into a musical school after getting the piano fixed.
