Sita cannot catch a break. She was kidnapped and held against her will and she still stayed completely faithful to Rama even when Ravana threatened her with death. She wouldn't even let Hanuman CARRY HER back to Rama out of modesty and respect to Rama and somehow he is still questioning her purity. So instead of listening to the love of his life, Rama listens to gossip and exiles Sita because overreactions seem to be a repeating pattern here. Sita gives birth to two sons of Rama's and raises them basically by herself.

Rama finally realizes how dumb he is, albeit only after listening to other peoples opinions again. A little confused on why Rama can't just have an opinion on a matter without needing the whole town to chime in, he would really have saved himself from a lot of troubles. Sita departs to the heavens and I am honestly glad because frankly I don't feel like Rama deserves her right at this very moment, he needs to do some serious priority reevaluation.

Lakshmana departs with the gods to go to heaven and Rama decides that it is his time to go as well. He appointed life to many of the bears and monkeys to the end of the Kali age. Rama enters heaven in his true form of Vishnu.
