Jai Siya Ram
Lord Shiv asks Hanuman to test if Luv and Kush are free from fear.
Luv and Kush are sleeping.

Hanuman thinks - You two have slept a lot. Now you will have to wake up. After all, this is the time for the next test.
He again takes the form of baba.
Baba - Children, wake up. It is so late.
Luv - Baba, you took so much of time in your evening prayer.
Baba - I have been waiting for you two for so long.
Kush - Why did you not wake us up?
Baba - When you are not worried, then why should I wake you up?
Kush - If you think like this, then we will never reach Kuber lok.
Baba - That is why I am asking you to hurry.
They again move.
Baba - We have been walking for so long. But you did not say anything about yourselves.
Kush - We have come from gurukul.
Baba - So you are learning in gurukul. How is your gurukul?
Kush - It is very good. There are many people. There is an old nani ma, who loves us a lot. Our guruji teaches us many knowledgeable things. He loves us a lot.

In Valmiki's ashram
Valmiki - Bhardwaj, destiny plays strange games. Luv and Kush made a small mistake and they left for Kuber lok to save the results of my pious works.
Bhardwaj - Gurudev, the entire ashram is proud of those two children. They are very curageous.

In forest
Baba - You are great that you are going to Kuber lok for your guru.
LK - It is our duty to do it for our guru. He cares for us a lot. When we go anywhere, then he gets worried. Without us, nobody in the ashram is happy. Do not know what they all would be feeling now.

Baba sits besides a tree.
Baba - I cannot walk in so much of sun. My throat is parched and I cannot find any water here.
Kush - Even we are feeling thirsty. But how will we find water just by being seated here?
Luv - We will go further and check if there is any river or lake.
Baba - I will move further only if I get water.
Luv - Sometimes you feel hungry, sometimes you feel thirsty. How will you get water here?
Baba - How do I know? Search for water. Then only I will go.
Kush (to Luv) - Ok, let us search for water.
Baba - Wait children, I will also come with you.

After some time, they hear sound of water.
Luv - Bhaiya, it looks like there is water-stream nearby.
They move further. They find a lake of water.
Baba is happy.

Baba - Cold and clean water.
He happily drinks water. Luv and Kush are happy that Baba got water. Suddenly baba faints.
Luv - Bhaiya, it looks like baba is dead.
A yalksh comes there.
Yaksh - I punished him because he drank water from my lake without my permission. This lake is mine and I punish whoever drinks water from my lake without my permission.
Luv - Who are you?
Yaksh - I am yaksh, the yaksh of this lake.
Kush - Ma says that giving water to a thirsty person is a great work. Then why did you punish him?
Yaksh - Because he drank the water without my permission.
Luv - Please cure baba. Do not give him such a big punishment.
Yaksh - My rules are equal for all.
LK - We are going to Kuber lok to get swarn-kamal. If we do not return before full-moon, then the results of our guruji's all pious acts will be destoyed. Only baba knows how to go to Kuber lok. If he is not saved, then how will we go to Kuber lok? (Are Sagars trying to show that Luv and Kush wanted Baba to be saved only because they needed him? Were they not otherwise concerned about him?)

Luv and Kush plead.
Yaksh - You have to answer two questions of mine if you want to know how to save him. Tell me when a person deviates from his goal?
Luv remembers the time when he was the king of Mayapur.
Luv - A person deviates from his duty when he gets entanged in Moh.
Yaksh - You are right. Moh blinds a person. Whose position is bigger than even heaven?
Luv - Bhaiya, who can it be?
Yaksh - Do not delay.
Kush - Please wait a moment.
Kush remembers mother Sita.
Kush - Mother. She is greater than heaven.
Yaksh - Very good. Nothing is greater than mother. You two are very intelligent. You answered my questions correctly. Four yojans to the south, there is a village. You have to bring water from the well in that village and make baba drink that water.

Yaksh disappears.
Kush - Luv, take care of baba. I will go to get water.
Luv - Bhaiya, you wait here.
Kush - Luv, I am elder. Listen to me.
Luv - No bhaiya, today you will have to listen to me.
Kush - Ok go but take care.
Luv - Bhaiya, you also take care of yourself and of baba.

Narad meets Lord Shiv.
Narad - Such a bad thing happened. Pavanputra drank the water of the lake without yaksh's permission and yakhs gave him such a harsh punishment. If Hanuman does not recover soon, then it will be so bad. You were taking the test of Luv and Kush. But Hanuman himself is trapped here.
Shiv - Devarshi, sometimes guru has to become a part of disciple's test. That is what Hanuman ji is doing.
Narad happily goes from there.
Luv goes to the village mentioned by yaksh. He finds that the whole village is deserted. There is nobody in the village and he is not able to find any well. A very strong wind blows and Luv sees many people running around. Luv tries to stop them but they keep running.
Luv sees a lame person.
Luv - Where are they all running away?
That man - If you want to save your life, then you also run. A terrible demon is coming.
Luv - I have nothing to do with that demon. I have come here to get the water of the well.
That man - Forget that. Just run.
Luv - Leave me. I will not go anywhere without taking the well's water.

That man goes. Luv hears a boy crying. He is tied to a tree.

Precap - Kush is worried that Luv has still not returned. He decides to search for Luv but he wonders what to do about baba. He comes up with an idea. He covers baba's body with leaves and goes. After he goes, baba gets up. He thinks that it is good that Kush also went - that way Kush also will face the test.
Our patience is also being tested.

Congratulations on 3300!!!👏

This episode wasn't tooooooo bad - one can see the that Hanuman gets right to the test, instead of the previous one where Kush was first tested with the fruit-snake combo, and Luv with the fruit-king combo.

One thing - when Luv was going to the village, the limping guy told him that if you have moh for your life, then flee. But we know that K-L are above moh now, so wouldn't this test have been redundant? Besides, when Kush plucked the pomegranate (I'm guessing that was the fruit?) even though he knew that it would endanger his life, didn't he already prove that he was above both fear and moh? Looks like testing is a hobby for Mahadev & Hanuman. (I preferred it when Hanuman took tests, rather than proctered them)

Also, I'm curious whether the greed test is to follow, since of the 3 surasura rakshas, 1 died of moh, another of fear and the third of greed. Since the first one died because he was attached to the throne, wasn't that greed as well? How is greed different from moh?😕

To be very frank, Sagars are not using the word Moh in correct sense. Moh means excessive emotional attachment towards something. That something may be anything - a human being, some other organism, a non-living thing, a certain life style, a certain process or any phenomena. How much attachment should be called as excessive attachment? It can be answered in two ways. One is that the attachment stops us from performing our duty. Another is that if we are not able to live our life happily in the absence of what we are attached with, then the attachment is excessive.

Let us consider some examples.
1. A person is living in luxury. A day comes when he becomes poor. If he keeps on feeling sad over his poverty, then he has Moh for luxury. But if he feels, "Oh, I do not have so much money. No problem. I will live happily in whatever I have." Then no Moh.
2. A mother loves her son a lot. A situation arises when it is necessary for the benefit of the son that he be away from the mother for some days. If the mother says that come what may, he will not let her son live away from her, then it is Moh. But if he thinks that even though he will miss her son, she should let him go for his benefit, then no Moh.
Depending on the situation, greed may become an example of Moh, but it is not the same as Moh. But looks like Sagars take any greed and decide that they will call it moh.

I agree, but why is a plain desire to live here considered moh? Moh would in this case be if someone was so determined to survive that he would do anything for that, including sacrificing others so that he wouldn't die. But a plain desire to live can't be moh. Otherwise, when K-L were confronted by Durdant, or even earlier, when Lakshman was injured, wouldn't one then be able to claim that Rama had a moh for Lakshman? Using the Sagar definition, one could claim that K-L had a moh for life in not willing to be eaten by the rakshashas.

I think the Sagars are overusing this term to cover any and every attachment, rather than the limited obsessive attachment that you describe above.
