Gangadhar Rao is shocked on learning about the attack on Laxmibai from Hira Bai. Gangadhar Rao orders Raghunath to enhance Laxmibai's protection. Hira Bai reminds the King that enhancing security would not ensure Laxmibai's safety as someone was conspiring to harm her. Laxmibai suggests establishing a women's army. Gangadhar Rao agrees.

Laxmibai orders Sunder to assemble all the female servants working in the palace. When they assemble, Laxmibai along with the women pledges to drive the British away from their country.

Ganga asks Laxmibai to personally train her in the army. Despite being reminded of Hira Bai's warning, Laxmibai agrees to train Ganga. Ganga tries to convince Tatya Tope to train her as he had trained Laxmibai. Ganga lies that she wanted to learn it so that she could take good care of Laxmibai. Tatya Tope gets convinced by Ganga's motive and agrees to teach her.
