Nandini enlists the help of a group of women who work at a police station, including Ms. Pushpa and Ms. Karishma. They come up with a plan to help Anuradha find a new partner. Meanwhile, Anuradha's mother is visited by two women, Dulari and Rampyari, from the International Widows' Rules and Compliance Centre, who try to enforce the traditional rules of a widow on her.
