Jai Siya Ram
The soldiers of Ayodhya are out searching for Sita. On seeing so many soldiers, the people of Ayodhya are wondering if some enemy has attacked. One person comes there.He says - Queen Sita has gone for vanvas. These soldiers are searching for her.
A messenger comes to Ram.
Ram - What is news about subjects?
Messenger - Everything is normal. But they are thinking various things because of the queen's vanvas.
Ram comes in the court and orders the proceedings to begin.
Hanuman - Lord, mother's place is empty. Without her, how the proceedings begin?
Ram - Royal duties do not wait for anybody. Therefore, let the proceedings begin.
Messenger - Guru-mata herself has come. She says that she needs justice.
Ram - Bring her with honour.

Guru Vashishth's wife Arundhati comes. Ram is about to stand in her honour.
Arundhati - There is no need to stand for an ordinary woman like me, king.
Ram (with folded hands) - You are worshipable. You are our dynasty's guru-ma. Let me know the purpose of your coming here.
Arundhati - I have come here to seek justice for a woman.
Ram - You could have sent that woman. The rules of Ayodhya are equal for all.
Arundhati - King, I am afraid that she was punished even before she could get justice.
Ram - This is not possible. Bring her here. Who punished her?
Arundhati - Her husband. He listened to useless talks of people and asked her to leave the house.
Ram - Who is the person, who has behaved this way with his wife?
Arundhati - That woman's name is Sita and her husband is Sri Ram.
It was quite obvious which woman Arundhati was talking about. Then why was it shown that Ram did not understand?india forums
Arundhati - King, just because a few people said something, you did not consider it important to find the fault of that woman before punishing her?
Ram - It was important, guru ma. But people and their feelings are supreme.
Arundhati - Therefore, just for making people happy, you forced Sita to leave the palace? I want answer. I want justice.india forums
Ram - Some questions are answered by time.india forums
Arundhati - But for how much time do we have to wait to get the answer? Do we wait till the life of the person seeking justice is over?india forums
Ram - Untill the suspicions in people's heart is not over.
Arundhati - Is Sita responsible for what subjects think?
Ram - If subjects make such allegations on their king regarding the queen, then, for an ideal kingdom, the king has to take such decisions.india forums
Arundhati - This means rules are not equal for all. For subjects, one set of rules and for queen, another. Is there any place for woman, the king of Ayodhya? Being a woman, I want the answer.
Ram - Guru ma, the yagya of kingdom are so cruel that only the king has to offer sacrifices in it, because there is nothing personal for king. I was helpless, guru ma.

The court is over. Ram is in his room.india forums
Hanuman - Prabhu, what was mother's fault? Why did you punish her? During vanvas, you cried so much for mother. If I can cross the sea and go to Lanka; for Laxman bhaiya, I can bring sanjivani, then I can search for mother too. Give me permission. If I have served you whole-heartedly, then I will be able to find mother.india forums
Ram - I know Hanuman that you can do everything. But sometimes not being successful in certain acts is good for the public. Therefore do not despair. Time will heal everything.
Hanuman - I understand your pain, prabhu. You can bear everything. But I cannot. Till mother returns, I will not be at peace.india forums

Kaushalya is talking to Dashrath's statue.india forums
Kaushalya - I am feeling so alone, maharaj. Why did you leave me? My bahu Sita also has left me.
Sumant comes there.india forums
Kaushalya - Sumant ji, where is Sita? Why didn't you bring her?
Sumant - Forgive me, rajmata, but we could not find her. Our soldiers are still trying.
Kaushalya gets angry. A dasi comes and informs that Maharaj Laxman has come back.
I do not find it correct to call all brothers of Ram as Maharaj (king). Only Ram is king. His brothers are prince. Bharat is yuvraj.india forums
Kaushalya is happy to hear that Laxman is back. She thinks that Laxman has come back with Sita.
The women of Ayodhya stop Laxman on the way.
Women - Maharaj, where is queen Sita?
A soldier - Maharaj is already so sad. Let him go. Do not cause him any more pain.
Women - Nobody is worried about where the queen is even though she is carrying a child? Answer me, maharaj. Since the time queen Sita has gone, the whole of Ayodhya is worried.
Laxman gets down the chariot and goes inside.
india forums
Sumitra - I feel sad Laxman that I gave birth to a son, who could not fulfill one wish of his mother.
Kaikeyi - Why do you blame him? Do you think he would not have tried to bring back his mother-like bhabhi? Why blame him for our fate?
Kaushalya is very sad. She walks away without saying anything.
Sita is unconscious in the forest. Valmiki is meditating. A light appears. Most probably, it is Lord Brahma.
Light - Get up, Valmiki. You are about to earn the fruit of your tapasya. The time has come when you will play a role in the story of Lord Sri Ram.
Valmiki opens his eyes.india forums
Light - Your good fortune is waiting for you. You are going to get what you desired.
india forums
Valmiki comes to Sita and puts his hand on her head.
Valmiki - Get up, daughter.
Sita opens her eyes. She is very tired (good acting by Debina). Still she sits up and greeks Valmiki. Sita is happy to see sage Valmiki.

Precap shows Luv and Kush.india forums
india forums
Today's episode showed as if it was Ram's decision to exile Sita. It contradicts what was shown in previous some episodes. But if we forget what was shown in previous episodes and judge today's episode on its own merit, then it was much better than last some episodes.
india forums
But I am surprised over the precap. Will Luv and Kush be shown of that age in one episode itself?😲
india forums
And there is one thing, which I find objectionable. It is being shown that the men of Ayodhya found Sita has guilty and women as innocent. That cannot be true because otherwise it would mean that Ram was concerned only about what men felt.i😕ndia forums

On the positive side, I am liking the portrayal of Valmiki a lot. His greatness and importance are shown very nicely.😊👍🏼
