Ghaus Khan eavesdrops on Dunlop's conversation with his officials and learns about Nelson's play to outwit Laxmibai.

Tatya Tope and Moropant try to convince Laxmibai against engaging the British. Fearing for the safety of her family, Laxmibai asks Tatya Tope to lead her family to safety outside Jhansi. Laxmibai reiterates her resolve to take on the British alone.

Nelson realizes well that Jhansi can be captured only after the death of Laxmibai. Nelson spots Laxmibai entering the fort all alone and decides to attack her.
