Vasushena has improved beyond recognition, but needs a teacher to complete his education. No one will accept a Suta, however, but when Suyodhana forces the royal teacher to give Vasushena lessons, it is the start of a friendship that will forge the path of destiny. In Drona's ashram, Yudhishtira shines, but the cost has to be paid by others. Vasushena decides to leave and to find another teacher. Suyodhana and Bheema's rivalry reaches new heights, and Vidura and Kunti's machinations also reach new heights. When tensions between him and his cousins mount, Suyodhana forces his father to exile them, but will it finally bring peace to the Kingdom or only make matters worse?
