Sita tells Rama she is pregnant. Meanwhile, a laundry man (a dhobi) beats his wife, accusing her of being unfaithful and comparing her to Sita.
-To protect his reputation, Rama tells his brother Lakshmana to take Sita into the forest and abandon her.
-Sita, now very pregnant, sings the blues again. Lakshmana, weeping, takes her into the forest and abandons her. Nina is living in Brooklyn, and she dreams about Dave.
-Sita thinks it is karma from a past life that is bringing her grief. She would kill herself if she were not pregnant. Valmiki rescues her.
-Sita sings the blues on the shore of the river. She gives birth to twins, Lava and Kusha. From Valmiki, they learn to sing the praises of Rama.
-Nina calls Dave in India and begs him to take her back. The narrators debate Sita's devotion to Rama. Sita sings the blues again, looking at Rama's picture.
-Rama hears the boys singing in the forest. He learns they are his sons, and they learn Rama is his father. He asks that Sita once again prove her purity.
-Sita calls upon Mother Earth to prove her purity and take her back into the womb. Sita sings about her love for Rama one last time, and then leaves them behind.
