Belarius and his sons return to their cave to find Imogen feasting on their food. She apologizes and offers to pay for what she’s taken, introducing herself as “Fidele”. Guiderius and Arviragus (who go by the names Polydore and Cadwal) feel an immediate kinship with the stranger and take to calling Imogen their brother. Meanwhile, Cloten, dressed in Posthumus’s clothing, makes his way through the wilderness towards Milford Haven. Later, Belarius and his boys set out for another hunt. Imogen, feeling ill, stays behind and drinks the potion Pisanio gave her thinking it will make her feel better. Out on the hunt, Belarius and his sons see Cloten. Belarius and Arviragus run ahead to find out if he’s alone. When Guiderius comes forward, Cloten challenges him to a duel. Guiderius cuts off Cloten’s head and returns to his brother and father, who recognizes Cloten’s face and laments that they’re in big trouble. The boys disregard their father’s concern and go triumphantly to wake Fidele, only to find the disguised Imogen seemingly dead from the potion. Grief-stricken, Belarius and his sons sing a prayer as they lay Imogen in the woods next to Cloten’s headless body, covering them with flowers. Imogen awakens after they’ve departed and sees the headless corpse next to her, dressed in Posthumus’s clothes. Assuming it’s her husband, she realizes she drank a sleeping potion and thinks Pisanio slipped it to her in order to kill Posthumus. She collapses in grief and is later discovered by Caius Lucius and his men. Remembering her disguise, Imogen introduces herself as Fidele. Lucius is impressed and employs her as his page.
