Apemantus finds Timon lamenting his fate and scolds him for being an undeserving misanthrope, telling him to come back to Athens. Timon refuses, setting off an argument between them. Apemantus finally leaves Timon and returns to Athens, where the citizens are growing increasingly unruly over the high taxes and prices they’re paying as Alcibiades launches his offensive against the city. When Apemantus announces that he’s found Timon with a trove of coins, the Artist, the Painter and the Senators head for the hills to get some of Timon’s gold.

Seeing he has no chance against Lucentio (AKA “Cambio”), Hortensio drops his “Licio” disguise and swears off women. Biondello, meanwhile, has found an old merchant who will pretend to be Lucentio’s father, Vincenzio, so that Lucentio can marry Bianca without getting his real father’s permission. Meanwhile, Katherine wakes in the comfort of Petruchio’s home and is further smitten as he describes the goings-on at his farm. Later, Baptista gets all rights to Vinzentio’s property from the man he thinks is Lucentio’s father but is really the old and very agreeable merchant. Hortensio goes to Petrucio’s house and is greeted by Grumio. As they rush to attend Bianca’s hasty marriage they’re interrupted by the arrival of an old gentleman who’s lost his way trying to find his son. It doesn’t take long for everyone to realize the gentleman is none other than Vincenzio, Lucentio’s real father. Incensed to learn that his son is being married without his consent, he joins Petruchio, Katherine, Grumio and Hortensio on their way to the wedding.
