Ladai Sarkar gets furious with Tatya Tope for slapping her. She orders that he be imprisoned. An enraged Tatya Tope taunts her that Laxmibai can win the battle without him but she cannot win it without Nathey Khan! Ladai Sarkar then goes to Hamilton to seek the help of the British Army. He refuses and says that he had warned her against fighting Laxmibai. Ladai Sarkar reminds him that Laxmibai was the only woman who had shaken the East India Company, so even he wanted Laxmibai defeated. Ladai Sarkar seeks gunpowder from him in huge amounts. Meanwhile, in Jhansi, Damodar refuses to eat anything from Moropant's hand. At Laxmibai's camp, a messenger from Orchha reads a letter from Ladai Sarkar for Laxmibai saying that she was willing to exchange Tatya Tope for Nathey Khan in the battlefield.
