- Amusa and a couple of constables have arrived in the market to stop Elesin's suicide. However, when Amusa and the gang get there, they are greeted by some women who taunt Amusa and demand that he leave. Iyaloja isn't thrilled by their behavior.
- Elesin then comes in, apparently fresh from consummating his marriage.
- He indicates he's now ready to head off to the great beyond, and then Elesin and the women start dancing, the Praise-Singer starts talking back and forth with Elesin, and the drummers drum. Elesin falls into a kind of hypnotic state/trance.
