Abhimanyu shames them all for their cowardice, while Yudhistir despairs about Abhimanyu’s fate. When even at many to one odds archery fights can’t stop Abhimanyu, Karna shoots Abhimanyu’s chariot’s wheel off, dismounting the young warrior. When he draws his sword, expecting a sword fight, Dronacharya shoots the sword out of Abhimanyu’s hand. Abhimanyu then grabs a chariot wheel to defend himself. But eventually, a few sword thrusts get through and fell him. Finally, Abhimanyu screams in agony as all remaining Kaurava princes, Karna and Shakuni repeatedly stab Abhimanyu while he is lying helpless.

The episode begins with Duryodhan gloating about his manipulation of Dronacharya and Susharma to Dushasan and then gloating to Bhishma that he will have the war won by tomorrow. Dhritharashtra visits Vidhur only to be told [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech that he sucks]].
The next morning on Day Thirteen, two armies rush at each other and clash. But didn’t Dronacharya order his troops into a special formation? Turns out these are soldiers accompanying Arjun and Susharma. Soon those two start trading arrows. But Susharma does his job and lures Arjun a long way away. When Arjun is far enough away, Dronacharya orders the Chakravyuh formation.
In the Kauravas camp however, [[Recap/MahabharataS01E81 the spy who was captured last night]] is shown suspended from his arms tied to a beam. He does a pull-up, gnaws his ropes off to free himself, then ducks under a tent flap and escapes. He tries to run to Yudhistir but catches an arrow. Bleeding, he staggers over and delivers a one word message before dying - “Chakravyuh”!
A shocked Yudhistir realizes the predicament they are in. Arjun and Krishna are the only ones who can penetrate the formation, but they are far away. However, Abhimanyu walks up to Yudhistir and informs him of his ability to infiltrate the Chakravyuh. When Abhimanyu states that he is unable to exfiltrate the Chakravyuh, Bhim reassures him that all remaining Pandavas and their allies will infiltrate the Chakravyuh with him and then HoldTheLine until sunset. Abhimanyu rides off to reconnoiter the enemy formation and find a vulnerability to attack.
Once Abhimanyu finds a vulnerability in the Chakravyuh and attacks it, he creates a gap in the formation and rides into it. However, when the Pandavas try to follow him in, Jayadrath shows up and obstructs them. One by one, he defeats all four Pandavas. Abhimanyu drives deeper and deeper into the Chakravyuh, but any gaps he creates close behind him. Abhimanyu ends up stranded in the middle of the formation, surrounded by enemies.
At first, Abhimanyu duels all Kauravas and their allies one at a time - and defeats them. Although he kills a few more unnamed Kauravas, he is unable to kill Karna, Dronacharya, Kripacharya, Shalya and Kritvarma. He spares Duryodhan and Dushasan for Bhim. After being shot one too many times, Duryodhan orders everyone to gang up on Abhimanyu. When they do so, Abhimanyu protests about them all violating the RulesOfEngagement. Duryodhan however brushes it off.
