Scene - In Varnavat, the Pandava's chamber, the brothers are goofing off.

Nakul - So brata , how was Dwarka ?

Arjun - It was the most beautiful place in the world, the Vaikunth of Aryavart.

Sahadev - Not that brata, a person.

Arjun - I met Balram, King Vasudev, Mata Rohini and Mata Devaki and (I almost wrote Praddyumn and I remembered he wasn't born yet. His parents just got married 😅) that's it.

Bheem - I thought Krishna's younger sister was there too right ? And what's thatt ring in your finger ? It wasn't there before

Arjun turned red.

Arjun - Ummmm... Subhadra gave it to me.

Kunti (oblivious to what her sons are thinking) - Wow ! That's a very pretty ring !

Arjun (getting normal(as in being able to talk)) - She suspects something strange here. I think she's right. There were no ceremonies for our father in the past. Why suddenly out of the blue (properly quoting Subhadra, remembering each and every word of hers.)

Yudhishthir - Even Mahamantri Vidhur suspects something. He has sent some people to secretly dig an underground cave. So if anything happens, we can escape through the cave.

Arjun was sitting on the floor leaning against a pillar. Suddenly, his back felt sticky. He glanced back only to see the pillar melting. Subhadra's words of suspicion echo through his ears.

Arjun (In his mind) - Thank you so much Subhadra and Madhav ! You literally saved our lives !

Subhadra (in Arjun's mind) - You're welcome. Now if you don't mind, bratashree is busy eating makhan, and I am going to catch him red-handed for blaming me the last time he got caught eating makhan by Dau. Remember what I told you if you feel scared.

Arjun (In his mind) - Yes, I remember. Thanks again. And don't be too hard on Madhav.

Subhadra (in his mind) - We'll see about that. No go on. Tell everyone. Do I have to explain EVERYTHING to you ?

Arjun (in his mind) - Yeah, yeah, I'll do that.

Arjun - Jyesth, this house is made of lac ! 

Yudhishthir - What are you talking about Arjun ?

Arjun shows them the melted pillar. They also find out that the palace is not only made of lac, but also mutter, dry grass and other inflammable substances.

Kunti - Arjun how did you find this out ?

Arjun - Subhadra told me Mata. And Madhav already gave me a clue on this, which I did not understand, but now I do.

Nakul - I would have teased you right now brata, but this sis a serious situation ! Jyesth, is the tunnel ready ? I'm sure that Duryodhan has conspired with mamashree to set this palace on fire and burn us alive !
