This episode is all about the war between Ravana and Rama.
It begins with Rama building a bridge to cross over the sea to Lanka. The Water
King assures him this can be done. Vibhishana makes Ravana mad and so he ends
up becoming allies with Rama. Once again, Ravana tries to perform magic tricks
on Sita. He had his magicians create an illusion that looked like Rama had been
killed. Sita was distraught but someone unaware of the trap came in and
announced Rama’s arrival to Lanka so the trick failed. Sita realized that Rama was still alive
and there to rescue her from Ravana. Rama sends a messenger to speak with
Ravana but he is outraged and only wants war (typical for his personality).
Ravana sends demons to attack at night but they are killed. He
next sends his giant brother who is eventually killed by Rama. He then asks his
son for help. It continuously amazes me how selfish Ravana is in how he will
send all of his loved ones out to battle for him but he won’t do it himself. Rama
sends someone to get medicine from the Himalaya mountains and this is how Sita
knew that Rama was still alive with the help of Hanuman of course. This episode
ends with Ravana finally realizing that all the people he sent to battle have
been killed. He knows now that he must go battle Rama himself.
