  • Clitandre and more of Célimène's friends show up, and she lets them in. They all play a game of "who can say the most mean things about our friends," and Célimène wins.
  • Alceste doesn't like this game and starts blabbing about how it is immoral when Célimène decides it's a good time to go for a walk.
  • Arsinoé comes to pay a visit, thinking she can insult Célimène, but she has no idea what she is in for. Célimène demolishes her.
  • Alceste is bothering Célimène again about a letter she wrote to Oronte. She admits it and he says he still loves her. She is saved from him because he has to go to court.
  • Oronte starts blabbing on about her proving her love when Alceste comes out of nowhere and demands the same thing. Clitandre and Acaste show up with a letter and it is all over for Célimène .
  • Everyone leaves her, except Alceste, but she doesn't want to be a hermit with him, so he leaves too.
