Nelson bribes Samar Singh with freedom by asking him to confess about Laxmibai's role in releasing him. However, Samar spits on Nelson. Nelson continues to torture Samar and Karma so much that they collapse. Laxmibai meets John Lang for the first time. She requests John to save Samar and Karma, and John agrees. John says that he needs secrecy and privacy, so Laxmibai replies that he would get it in her palace but only after seeking her king's permission. On the other hand, Gangadhar asks Raghunath to find out where Laxmibai has gone with Tatya Tope, and why. The subjects of Jhansi voice their grievances about the injustices inflicted by the new battalion, and about Jhansi being in deeper trouble because Gangadhar lacks an heir. Gangadhar promises to look into their problems personally. When he sees Laxmibai outside, he taunts her again about only Samar and Karma being everything to her. Laxmibai gets upset. She orders Tatya Tope to bring John to the palace at the earliest.
