After Manu detonates the arrow bomb, Manson's delight is short-lived as Christina enters the prison and gives him the Governor-General's order for Manu's release. Moropant explains to Tatya why Manu revealed the arrow-bomb's secrets. Later, as preparations are on for Indu's wedding, an enraged Vahini prevents Manu from entering the Bithur palace until she undergoes purification. But Christina resolutely defends Manu and says that Manu's heroism would have been lauded by British society.
