Sita and K-L are back at the ashram. Sita is angry and upset at them, and they try to explain how they only acted in response to provocation by others, and how they'd not have fought them had they been obeyed. They then described their exploits.
Sita told them that the uncle they had fought Shatrughan was their real uncle. They asked to see their father, and she told them that they had seen him, but unfortunately, couldn't recognize him. The kids were shocked, while Sita told them that the ruler in whose direction they were about to send arrows was their father. K-L were mortified to hear that and in tears. Kush told her - in that case, you must be Devi Sita, and Sita admitted that she was. (The special effects here were overdone - spinning around K-L, and enough to give one a headache)
In Ayodhya, Lakshman and Bharat are very remorseful that they failed to capture the horse, and that Rama had to do it. Rama comforted them, telling them that the kids were not ordinary but that they had a great strength - one of stubbornness, which was impossible to defeat Wacko, as well as the fact that their motives were completely selfless. He told them that he didn't defeat them either, but that Maharshi Valmiki intervened and had them return him the horse.
The next day, K-L are sitting in the field, still crying, and recalling how generously Shatrughan, Lakshman and Bharat offered to fulfil their desire if they released the horse. They said to each other that the gods will never forgive us for fighting our father. Then Valmiki arrives and comforts them, and tells them that what they did was unknowingly done, and so no sin would fall on them. Kush told him that they were Rama's sons, and he told them that he had known about it all along. K-L then expressed a desire to go to Ayodhya and see him, but Valmiki told them that at the moment, their mother needed them more.
That night, Sita prays to Rama asking him to forgive his sons, since what they had done was done unknowingly. K-L then approach her, still tearful, and tell her that they'd accept any punishment for what they had done. Sita takes both of them in her arms and hugs them. (This scene was touching)
Valmiki then arrives and tells Sita that nothing will happen to them since what they were done was done unknowingly. Valmiki tells them that it's now their duty to go to Ayodhya and restore their mother's reputation in the minds of the populace. K-L ask how they are to do that, and Valmiki tells them that by singing the Ramayan as they had been taught, it could be done. Next scene is outdoors, where K-L take Valmiki's and then Sita's blessings before leaving for Ayodhya.
At Ayodhya, the words of Luv 'We are Suryavanshis' and that of Kush 'Why did you exile Sita' continued to haunt Rama. Kaushalya approaches him and asks what was bothering him. Rama tells her that the boys he confronted were courageous and asked him questions that no one dared to ask to date. "They asked me why did I exile Sita, knowing fully well that she was innocent". Kaushalya asked him what answer he gave them, and Rama replied the rajdharm response. (Rama however forgot to tell her that they also asked him what about his duty as a husband to a dutyful wife).
Kaushalya then said that she had a question for Rama. Rama asked what it was, and she told him, "Think about this and give me an answer later: have you been fair and just to Sita?" The question hit Rama like a bolt from the blue and he was in tears as Kaushalya left. (Kaushalya's question, and Rama's reaction, both looked awesome)
Alone, Rama said, "Sita, I don't know whether or not I've been fair and just towards you, but I do know that when you left me, you took my entire soul with you to the forest. My body is here in Ayodhya, but my soul has left me for good" (Aside from the last question, Rama's emotions were beautifully captured)
