Fighting continues in this episode of Series/{{Mahabharata}}. Duryodhan has to fight through a lot of {{Redshirt}}s to get to Yuyutsu but can’t. Shikhandi insults Bhishma.

Shalya duels and by the skin of his teeth, defeats Uttarkumar, causing Viraat to retreat to his tent and mournfully praise him. Yudhistir is unnerved by the high numbers of KIA compared to wounded. Krishna muses that there is still a lot more war to be fought.

On Day 2, Dronacharya duels Dhrishtadyumna and almost has him ready to die, but Bhim saves him. Arjun toots his conch, preparing to duel Bhishma. Draupadi insults Karna for having to stew in a tent like a woman. Karna stews in a tent like a woman.

!! Tropes found here are

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Shalya’s spear impales Uttarkumar through his belly.
* LoopholeAbuse: A possible reason why Uttarkumar stopped attacking and started gloating was because a chariot borne warrior prince cannot fire upon a dismounted warrior. But nothing stops a dismounted warrior from attacking a chariot borne warrior - such as throwing a spear at him while he gloats.
* TalkingIsAFreeAction: Uttarkumar catches a spear in the gut while floating about having destroyed Shalya’s chariot.
* TookALevelInBadass: Uttarkumar, who previously [[Recap/MahabharataS01E58 tried to scamper away in terror at the sight of an invading army]], almost vanquished King Shalya. It was a combination of gloating and rule bending on Shalya’s part that lead to his demise.
