Pretty as a Picture The pilgrims are welcomed to a village headman's house. He shows the disciples a screen that has a picture of the beautify Goddess Sorovasti painted on it, along with the six other Gods of Good Fortune. During the night, the goddess magically steps out of the screen, tricks Tripitaka, and takes his place in the pilgrimage. While she enchants the others, Monkey discovers Tripitaka trapped in the screen. Can Monkey free Tripitaka and get the goddess back on canvas.

Mothers The pilgrims enter a country where an evil wasp witch with a magic whip flies on her chariot and steals children from their parents. The witch lives in a poison mountain called Kijo, and has a hundred or more children of her own. No one knows what she does with the stolen children. While Sandy and Pigsy help the villagers set traps and prepare themselves to fight the witch, Monkey decides to pay her a visit.

At the Top of the Mountain Tripitaka has an ominous dream that his mother is dying and becomes very preoccupied the next day. Concerned about his master, Monkey cloud-flies back to China and finds Tripitaka's mother, Wing-Chow, infected with a deadly plague. Just before dying she tells Monkey that her son must continue on his journey to India. Monkey returns and impersonates Wing-Chow to pretend she is alive, fearing that Tripitaka would stop his journey and return to China if he knew the truth.
