-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.

-In New York, Nina reads the Ramayana and works on the film. You see Chandra the moon god, Vishnu rubbing Lakshmi's feet and the final credits roll.

-The way this story is told and the way I listened will have an effect on how I would tell stories in person from now on. My story telling just isn't up to where I thought it was and I want to be able to make my words come to life.
