When Laxmibai gets ready to return to her palace, she feels a little faint. However, she manages to reach the palace and learns that Gangadhar has left for Gwalior. Dalhousie warns Gangadhar that as per the Doctrine of Lapse, Jhansi would soon go to the East India Company because he did not have an heir. However, Gangadhar assures him that his queen was capable of managing Jhansi, in the event of his death.
