Rama leaves Ayodhya and goes to confront K-L. Valmiki gets a premonition that father and sons are about to fight, so he leaves to intervene. In the meantime, Nani tells Sita that K-L have captured the Ashwamedha horse and defeated SLB as well as Hanuman, and are poised to confront Rama. Sita is shocked to hear this and starts running to the place where K-L are. Oh, and before, Sita had prayed for herself to be able to introduce her kids to her husband today, and have a darshan of him. (I didn't get the point here of showing this, since it wasn't to happen, at least not that day itself Ouch)
Rama is amazed that Hanuman has been captured and asked him why he didn't break free, but Hanuman tells him he can't. Rama then asks K-L why they captured the horse, and they said that they want to ask him a question. Rama rudely tells them that he'd answer no question of theirs, but orders them to surrender the horse. Luv tells him that they are Suryavanshis and they do not bend from their resolve. Both sides then place their arrows on their bows, but their hands are frozen WackoWackoWacko and they are unable to release them. (I didn't like how Rama was depicted being needlessly vicious - he could have simply answered their question and got back the horse w/o anyone intervening Ermm)
Valmiki arrives and stops Rama from launching any arrows and demands to know from K-L why they captured the horse. They explain to him that they wanted to ask Rama a question, and capturing the horse was their way of getting him there. Kush tells him that the question was why did Rama exile Sita despite knowing that she was chaste. Rama gave the usual rajdharm answer about how he had to do that to respect the sentiments of the populace. Kush then reminded him that he was also a husband, and didn't he have any duties towards his wife who always faithfully walked as his shadow. Rama hung his head embarrassed, but Valmiki upbraided Kush for asking such a question Confused(Why?) Kush apologized, and asked Valmiki what he was to do. Valmiki asked them to free Hanuman and release the horse. They did so and handed the horse to Hanuman, and Rama w/o any reaction turned and returned w/ the horse. (Uncharacteristically mean reaction Angry)
Just then, Sita arrived and asked Valmiki where her Raghunandan was, and Valmiki told her that he had just returned to Ayodhya. Shocked that her prayers hadn't been answered, Sita watched tearfully in stunned silence and folded hands as the Ayodhya troops, back towards her, continued towards Ayodhya (Such sadistic scripwriters Angry)
