Laxmibai is moved to see the pain in Tatya Dixit eyes when he congratulates the new royal priest. She tells Tatya that Gangadhar has only retired him from his services, but he can continue to advice the King on a personal note. Later, Laxmibai is deeply engrossed in praying to Lord Krishna when the accessories of the idol accidentally catch fire. Kashi comes in the nick of time and extinguishes the fire. Laxmibai asks Kashi to get new accessories. As soon as Kashi leaves, a new maid comes and hands over accessories to Laxmibai. When Laxmibai asks her identity, she claims to be the new maid and says that this idol of Lord Krishna has been given to her so that the heir of Jhansi is always protected. Ross and Malcolm, along with Sakhubai, Jankibai and Lacho plan to use a loyal servant of Gangadhar Rao as their pawn. They approach Gangadhar Rao and tell him that the Rajputs of Bundelkhand are terrorising and looting people, and so they have decided to take action against the dacoits.
