Yudhishtira is not content to wait in the forest for his exile to end. He seeks alliances and hides in the kingdom of Matsya. When his presence is revealed and Suyo sends a force to capture him and his brother, Yudhishtira defeats them, killing Vasushena's brother in the process.

In the middle of it, Vasushena learns the truth about his birth, and Krishna plots his demise. Will all of Krishna's machinations come to pass or will Vasushena be able to survive?
