Krishna's Visit: Draupadi is obviously angry at the whole situation. She thought that her husbands should have protected her and stood up for her but they did not. Yudhishthira spends much of this time trying to convince Draupadi to forgive him saying that non forgiving him would be a sin. This is ridiculous because Draupadi has every right to be mad. Her husband lost her in a gambling match and then sent her to exile in another. I'm pretty sure anyone would be mad in this situation.
Riddles at the Lake: The Pandavas approached the water when they were thirsty. Four of them heard a voice that warned them that they must answer questions before they could drink the water. They did not listen and drank the water anyways and died. Yudhishthira was the only one who listened to the voice and he was forced to answer numerous riddles. He was able to survive though because he listened to the voice. Its a strange turn of events that Yudhishthira was the brother that wasn't smart enough to stop gambling and lost everything, yet he was the only brother that listened to the voice and didn't die.
Bhima and Kichaka: The Prince Kichaka tries to rape Draupadi but she is able to fight against him. When she tells others what happened, she gets laughed at because everyone fears Kichaka. She is able to tell Bhima and finally one of her husbands is able to defend her. They trick Prince Kichaka and convince him that Draupadi will finally be with him but instead he finds Bhima and Bhima kills him.
