Laxmibai notices Ganga's absence and inquires with Sunder. Laxmibai learns that Ganga was not interested in warfare techniques. Laxmibai is surprised. Hira Bai comments that she always found Ganga's intentions suspicious so it was good that she was not being trained.
On the other hand, Ganga starts training with Tatya Tope.
Nelson visits the palace and notices the women undergoing training. He taunts the women for taking up weapons when they were only suited for handling kitchen equipments. Laxmibai counters Nelson's attempts to discourage them and forces the British official to leave. Laxmibai rejoices at the fact that the training of the women's army had rattled the British. She exhorts the women to keep up with their practice.
Ganga has hard time learning under Tatya Tope. However, the fire to defeat Laxmibai keeps Ganga going. Tatya Tope motivates Ganga to be strong and persevere with her training.
When Laxmibai comes across Ganga, she asks her the reason for failing to come for the training. Laxmibai gets concerned on seeing the injury on Ganga's hand. Ganga lies to her that she slipped from the stairs and claims she is incompetent to handle weapons. When Laxmibai leaves, Ganga resolves to defeat her one day.
