Ashwathama tells Duryodhan that he has killed the Pandavas. Duryodhan sacrifices his life. Ashwathama becomes shocked on seeing the Pandavas. Yudhishthir informs Ashwathama that he has killed the Upapandavas. Ashwathama decides to kill Uttara's unborn baby, and uses Brahmastra for the same. Arjun asks Ashwathama to withdraw the Brahmastra. He uses Brahmastra to stop Ashwathama. Krishna asks Arjun to withdraw his Brahmastra. Arjun tells Krishna that Ashwathama will not be able to withdraw his Brahmastra.

As Gandhari blames Draupadi for the dreadful outcome of the war, Duryodhan asks Ashwatthama to kill the Pandavas. Ashwatthama sneaks into the Pandavas' camp at night and kills Dhrishtadyumna and the Upapandavas, mistaking them to be the Pandavas.

The Pandavas ponder over Balarama's advice and finally understand Duryodhan's weakness. Arjun informs Bheem of the same. Bheem injures Duryodhan by attacking his weak areas. Balarama is furious with Bheem for breaking the rules and challenges him to a fight.

Duryodhan emerges from the lake and begins fighting with Bheem. Bheem recalls Hanuman's advice and uses it on Duryodhan. Draupadi learns that Bheem's life is in danger and seeks Balaram's help. Draupadi berates Krishna for not saving the Pandavas.

As Yudhishthir and Duryodhan fight it out, Shakuni tries to hide himself from Nakul. Dhrishtadyumna challenges Ashwatthama and sends Arjun to support Yudhishthir. Later, Sahadev kills Shakuni and Bheem throws his body in a lake. But what about Duryodhan?

The Pandavas learn about Duryodhan's body. Krishna suggests that they divert Duryodhan's attention by attacking Shakuni. Shakuni seeks Shalya's help to defeat Nakul. Later, Arjun challenges Shakuni but Duryodhan rushes to rescue him.

Dhritarashtra is delighted in the belief that Duryodhan will kill the Pandavas. Bheem strengthens his mace. Duryodhan takes Gandhari's blessing and vows to destroy his enemies. He targets Bheem first.

Shakuni convinces Balarama into believing that Krishna cheated the Kauravas. Balarama arrives at the battlefield and tells Krishna not to disclose Duryodhan's weak parts to the Pandavas. Will Krishna agree?

Krishna sees Duryodhan going nude to his mother. On Krishna's advice that one should not go before one's mother in that state, Duryodhan covers himself with a banana leaf and goes to see Gandhari. Every part of his that she saw is strengthened. What about the parts that were covered?

Gandhari visits Kurukshetra. Shakuni apologises to her for failing to protect her sons. He also tells her that she can protect Duryodhan by transforming him into Vajra with the rays from her eyes. Ashwatthama informs Duryodhan about Gandhari's power.

On his death bed, Karna requests Arjun to grant him a wish. Arjun agrees and performs his last rites. Meanwhile, Duryodhan is depressed for trusting Karna. Seeing Duryodhan, Ashwatthama promises to support him. However, Duryodhan orders him and Shakuni to return to their kingdom.

A depressed Kunti tends to an injured Karna, which surprises Arjun. When she tries to tell the truth about him to the Pandavas, Karna stops her. Somehow, Arjun learns the truth and regrets injuring Karna.

Krishna informs Karna about Parshuram's father, Maharishi Jamadagni's death. He tries to make Karna realise his and Duryodhan's mistakes. Then, Krishna tells Arjun to kill Karna. Who will survive?

Karna informs Shakuni that he can kill Arjun without Takshak's help and Duryodhan orders him to do so. But will they be able to kill Arjun who has Krishna by his side? Krishna asks Arjun to kill Karna as the latter seems to have forgotten his lessons.

Takshak decides to sit on Karna's arrow, to kill Arjun. Later, Kunti shares her helplessness with Karna and requests him to allow her to reveal the secret of his birth. Finally, it is time for Karna and Arjun's duel.

As Shakuni consoles Duryodhan, Draupadi advises them to surrender and accept defeat; Duryodhan wishes to witness the death of one of the Pandavas before his death; he takes the help of Takshak for this; Karna also vows to fulfil his wish.

The Upapandavas take Draupadi to the battlefield. Bheem washes her hair with Dushyasan's blood. According to his oath, Bheem drinks Dushyasan's blood while Duryodhan, Karna and Shakuni witness his act. How will Duryodhan fight back?

Bheem kills more brothers of Duryodhan. Shakuni suggests Dushyasan should escape from the battlefield. Nakul, Sahadev and Yudhishthir stop him. Meanwhile, Arjun captures Duryodhan while Karna captures Bheem. As Karna rushes to rescue Duryodhan, Bheem escapes from captivity.

Ashwatthama and the Kauravas accuse the Pandavas of killing Dronacharya by deception. Duryodhan appoints Karna as the new commander of his army. Arjun tells Draupadi about the motive of the war.
