As we saw in the previous episode, Manthara continues to wheedle Queen Kaikeyi to act against the interests of King Dasaratha. While the king is set on to make his eldest son, Raama, as Yuvaraaja, he is anxious of precursors in his dreams. The queen asks Manthara what she can do if she wants to install Bharata as Yuvaraaja. Manthara reminds the queen of the two boons she is owed. Will the boons become useful? What is the cost?
