Episode begins with Arjun meeting Abhimanyu for the first time. They hug and Arjun says he always kept hearing news about his son, while Abhimanyu says he was waiting for Arjun since his birth.
Abhimanyu says he wants to always stay with Arjun and serve him. Arjun says he has come to take him with him. Abhimanyu tells Arjun that Krishna always reminds him to kill his father's enemies, and Subhadra tells him that his duty is to take revenge for Draupadi's insult, even if he dies doing so. 😕
Abhimanyu tells Arjun that Duryodhan is in Dwarka too, which makes Arjun wonder.
Balram is about to strike Duryodhan again, but he falls at Balram's feet. Duryodhan asks for forgiveness and cries that he only sees enemies before him, his mind is not in his control. Balram tells him to stop crying as this doesn't benefit a warrior.
Duryodhan tells Balram that he doesn't enjoy his life any more, and that the Pandavas have stolen every happiness from him.
Balram questions what the Pandavas have done to him, since they were the ones subjected to exile. Duryodhan says that the Pandavas's exile isn't his fault.
If Yudhishtir hadn't played dice then he wouldn't have lost. Duryodhan complains more about the kingdom not being his, about having his bride to be stolen away from him etc etc Duryodhaan says the Pandavas are grouping Aryavrat together against him.
Krishna stands up and asks Duryodhan whether his attempt at disrobing a woman in a court of men isn't a sin?
Duryodhan says if a slave insults her master, then punishing her isn't a crime. Duryodhan says if you feel like the punishment I gave was too harsh then I will pay this with penance. Duryodhan begs Balram to stop the coming war.
Balram says he cannot do anything. Duryodhan says that the Yadavas are Pandavas strength, if you don't support them then they cannot even think of fighting a war. Krishna asks Duryodhan what he wants them to do.
Shakuni suggests that Krishna and Balram do not fight for either side. Balram agrees with Duryodhan and promises that him, Krishna nor any soldier from their army will fight on the Pandavas side. Shakuni is very happy hearing this.
Arjun arrives there and is shocked hearing Balram's promise.
Arjun asks Balram how he decided they were in the wrong without even hearing their side of the story.
Balram says he is only reacting according to the situation and tells Arjun he cannot justify a war to avenge a defeat in a game.
Arjun says they were cheated, but Balram says they should have got up and left the game. Arjun tries to explain the facts but Balram shuts him up saying he already knows all the details.
Balram tells Arjun that he believes that Yudhishtir did more adharma in the sabha that day than Duryodhan did.
Balram says that Yudhishtir wagered his wife and brothers, and he could have stopped the game when he was asked if he was proud of wagering his brothers.
Balram says Yudhishitr didn't leave the game as he is too proud of his dharma. Balram says that when someone is too proud of their dharma then they can only do adharma. He says his decision to not fight is correct and leaves from there.
Arjun asks Krishna to explain their side to Balram. Krishna agrees with Balram and says that pride always causes destruction. Krishna says he is bound by Balram's promise.
In the streets of Dwarka, Balram asks his charioteer to stop his chariot. He sees a crowd and demands to know what is going on. A women cries and says look what adharma is happening here. Men are betting their wives on mace fights.
One man tries to take someone else's wife but Balram pushes him away and says they have ruined mace fighting. Someone else says that there is no fun if they don't bet on the outcome and Balram is nobody to stop them.
Balram strangles the man trying to take the other woman. Krishna arrives and asks Balram to let the man go. Krishna says that these women (who have been lost in the game) will be safe with Rukmini and Satyabhama. Krishna says he will personally punish anyone who tries to harm them.
Inside Dwarka palace Abhimanyu is angry on Balram's decision. He says when it comes to Draupadi's insult how can Balram even think about dharma and adharma.
Subhadra tells him that this decision hasn't been taken by Arjun or Krishna. Subhadra reminds Arjun that Krishna's words never have only one meaning.
Krishna doesn't need to take up weapons to ensure victory.
Precap: Balram says that whichever side Krishna is on, that side will be victorious. Subhadra tells Arjun that Krishna has promised that whoever he sees first, he will grant them whatever they want. Arjun and Duryodhan race to see Krishna, Arjun arrives and sees Duryodhan sitting by the head of a sleeping Krishna.
