"No..." Naina woke up from the sound of Captain Rajveer groaning. She had fallen asleep against the tent wall beside him. After she and Sai treated Colonel Shakti with the help of Huda and Ali, she came back to check up on Rajveer, and sent Aalekh off to do the security duty.

She rushed forward to take the handkerchief and realised it was dry. As she tried to get up to ask someone to bring some water, she felt a tug on her hand. It was Rajveer. He was looking at her with desperation through half-closed eyes. He didn't want to be alone then. She smiled reassuringly at him and sat herself beside him.

"I - didn't... kill-" he was stopped by Naina putting her finger on his lips. She wiped his sweat from his face and neck with the handkerchief, and realised he was still holding her other hand. He wasn't completely conscious then, so he didn't give much thought to it and kept his firm grip on her hand. Her heart leaped with something unknown as she looked at him lovingly.

"Phoolan how's Sirji now?" Huda barged in, stopping suddenly at seeing her hand in their teacher's and her wiping his face. A range of emotions passed by his face, but he hid them and came over to sit on Rajveer's other side. "Sir, how're you feeling now?"

"Much better Cadet." Rajveer said as he tried to sit up, and Naina immediately came to his aid. Huda's hurt face could be seen as he watched the two.

"Huda, some help here!" Naina told him angrily. Rajveer suddenly realised the situation and let go of Naina's hand and scooted a bit away from her. Huda got up and brought the water bottle from the other end of the tent, watching the two interact. Should he give up on Phoolan? Would she never love him as much as he loves her?

"Sir! I think we've done it!" Yudi said excitedly coming over to Abhimanyu. They all gathered around the walkie talkie. Yudi pressed something, holding the antenna up, while Pooja held her mobile, giving him directions. They had discoverd a way to get the signal, so Pooja was telling him where there is a strong enough but un-detectable signal using the network level on her phone. Suddenly the noise coming from the walkie talkie was replaced with rough voices.

"Hello? Army Headquarters? KMA?" Abhimanyu tried. The man seemed to hear them, but they couldn't understand what he was saying. Yudi tried moving the antenna, but no avail.

"I know where you can get the signal." Rajveer's tired voice told them from behind. He limped out of the tent, declining Naina's help. "The best place to get a good signal without getting caught is a few kilometers away, at around a very small hill. But it's dangerous to go there." He informed them.

"I'll go Sir." Aalekh said in a tone that clearly said that he wasn't going to back down because of the dangers. Rajveer patted his shoulder proudly.

"But he can't go alone. I'll go with him, and Raj, you can take care of things here. I know you're exhausted, but I also know how strong you are. I know you can handle it here." ABhimanyu told him with a tinge of pride in his voice. His friend nodded.

"Sir, shouldn't Pooja or I go with you guys? Since we know a bit more about these..." Yudi trailed off.

"Saala nautanki." Aalekh muttered under his breath. Abhimanyu nodded and the three set off. Rajveer turned around to face his cadets, who were looking at him expectantly, to lay out some sort of plan. They weren't disappointed.

Precap - "Let's get working!" says Raj. The cadets are shown working, but it's not clear what they're exactly doing.

"Sir, uh... woh..." Naina stutters, looking nervous.
