The Queen has her doctor, Cornelius, bring her a vial of poison. In an aside, Cornelius tells us he’s substituted it with a sleeping potion that will temporarily simulate death. The Queen tries to convince Pisanio to help make Imogen fall in love with her son Cloten, but Pisanio says nothing. She drops the poison, but when Pisanio tries to give it back to her, she tells him it’s medicine and he should keep it to use whenever he’s sick. Later, Iachimo arrives at the palace to win his bet with Posthumus. He tells Imogen that her husband has taken a prostitute and she believes him, but when he suggests she can get back at Posthumus by sleeping with him, Imogen realizes the story is a trick to get her into bed. She calls for Pisanio but Iachimo backtracks, pretending he was only testing Imogen’s fidelity to her husband. Imogen believes his story and agrees to keep a trunk with valuable jewels in her room that night while Posthumus stays at the castle. Meanwhile, Cloten complains that no one will fight him because he’s the Queen’s son. The Lord showers him with praise and encouragement but mocks him behind his back. That night, Imogen falls asleep while reading in her bed. Iachimo emerges from the trunk and steals Posthumus’s bracelet from her wrist.
