Sakhubai instigates Tatya Dixit to punish the king and queen for replacing a learned man like him as the royal priest. Sakhubai narrates to Lacho and Jankibai how Tatya Dixit had attempted suicide after being humiliated by the king but had got saved. Sakhubai assures her accomplices that Tatya Dixit would never betray them because he was not greedy; he was only seeking vengeance for being dishonoured by the king. She says that he would finish off the king tonight itself as the auspicious time for the consummation of the king and queen's marriage was tonight. Meanwhile, Sakhubai and her accomplices monitor Malcolm's men placing spears on the riverbed so that Gangadhar would get killed when he would come to bathe in the pond. On the other hand, Tatya Dixit visits the queen. He tells the king that her condition is deteriorating and it could be result of someone performing black magic on her. He advises the king to cleanse himself in the pond and perform a ritual so that she improves. On his way out, many pouches fall from Tatya Dixit's bag. Laxmibai realises that all of them look the same and that he must have used another pouch while testing for poison. The queen tries her best to alert the king but is unable to speak. The king leaves to go to the pond with Tatya Dixit. Laxmibai recalls the mysterious lady warning her to save Gangadhar from water and fire. On the other hand, Malcolm assures Sakhubai and her accomplices that in case Gangadhar decides to take a dip in the pond instead of jumping in it, then he would be attacked by his men hiding behind the boulders.
