Caska and Cicero meet on a stormy night. Caska trembles at the omens he’s seen until Cassius arrives and dispels his fears with the encouragement that they’re not alone in fighting tyranny. Cinna nervously joins them, expressing her hope that Brutus will join their conspiracy. Cassius reassures her that Brutus is on board. Later that night, Brutus ruminates at home on the possibility of killing Caesar, deciding that murder is the only way to stop him. His servant, Lucius, announces the arrival of cloaked guests. Brutus welcomes them and Cassius introduces the co-conspirators: Trebonius, Decius Brutus, Caska, Cinna and Metellus Cimber. Together, they plan Caesar’s assassination. Cassius suggests that they swear an oath but Brutus says oaths aren’t necessary because their plan is noble. They all agree not to include Cicero in their plans. Cassius suggests that they also kill Mark Antony but Brutus advises against it, saying they will appear “too bloody” and that Antony won’t be a threat once Caesar is dead. When Cassius worries that Caesar won’t come to the Temple, Decius offers to bring him to the Temple herself. Cassius says they’ll all go to Caesar’s house together instead. Metellus suggests that they include Caius Ligarius in their plans and Brutus agrees, then sends everyone on their way, telling them all to freshen up so their looks won’t betray their purposes.

Activists assemble outside the Stadium to celebrate Caesar when they’re interrupted by Flavius and Murellus, who challenge them to honor not just one man but all the people who helped in the Movement. Once the group breaks up and moves on, Flavius tells Murellus to help him take down all the posters celebrating Caesar. Inside the stadium, Caesar and his entourage–including his closest friend, Antony, and his wife, Calphurnia–are enjoying the thrills of a drag race when they’re interrupted by an old woman who warns Caesar to beware the “Ides of March”. Caesar dismisses the woman and tells his entourage to enjoy the race with him. Cassius and Brutus stay behind and share their honest feelings about Caesar. Cassius tells Brutus he thinks Caesar is weak, spurring Brutus to confess he’s uneasy with the way things are going in Rome. As they return from the race, Caesar sees the two men talking and tells Antony he thinks Cassius is dangerous. Brutus pulls Caska aside and asks him for details about what took place at the race. Caska describes how Caesar refused the crown three times when it was offered to him, further endearing him to the crowd. Caska also describes how Caesar “fell down” and foamed at the mouth. Brutus suggests that Caesar must have the “falling sickness” (epilepsy). Cassius says Caesar is not like them. Caska goes on to describe how Flavius and Murellus were punished for pulling down placards and posters celebrating Caesar, warning Cassius and Brutus to watch how they treat him. After Brutus and Caska depart, Cassius muses to himself about how easily Brutus can be manipulated.

Phebe confronts Rosalind (“Johnnyseed”) for being rude, leading Sylvius, Phebe, Orlando and Rosalind to expound on the meaning of love as a thunderstorm descends. Rosalind ends their railing by telling them to meet again tomorrow for a wedding where they will all be married to the one they love. Touchstone and Audrey celebrate as two musicians from Duke Senior’s camp pass by.

Jacques returns to Duke Senior’s camp to discover that someone killed a deer. He suggests they present it to Duke Senior as an offering and asks Amiens to sing a song to mark the occasion. Back at the farm, Silivius delivers Phebe’s letter to “Johnnyseed”. Seeing it’s full of praise for Johnnyseed, Rosalind scolds Silvius for loving a woman who treats him so badly. S/he sends him back to Phebe with the message that Phebe should love Silvius. As Silvius is leaving, Orlando’s brother Oliver enters, transformed. He tells Rosalind and Celia that Orlando defended him from an attack by a lioness and presents a bloody handkerchief that had bandaged Orlando’s wounded arm. Rosalind faints at the sight of the blood and scrambles to resume her disguise when Oliver questions her manliness,. Back at Filippini Pond, Touchstone and Audrey are skinny dipping with throngs of other concertgoers when Audrey’s suitor, a local farmhand  named William, shows up. Touchstone chases him out of the water with a barrage of questions to challenge his wit before Corin arrives to tell Touchstone that Johnnyseed and Anne Emma Grant would like to see him. Later, Oliver confesses to his brother that he’s fallen in love with Anne Emma Grant. He gives Orlando his inheritance and vows to live and die in the country as a shepherd. When Rosalind (“Johnnyseed”) enters, Oliver leaves. Orlando spills his heart out to Johnnyseed, saying that Oliver and Anne’s love has made him yearn even more for Rosalind and he can no longer keep on pretending. Johnnyseed comforts Orlando by saying that he has magical powers and that Orlando will marry Rosalind when Oliver marries Anne.

Celia tries to comfort Rosalind when Orlando doesn’t show up at the cottage for his first coaching. Corin arrives to invite them to spy on Silvius courting the reluctant Phebe. Rosalind, still dressed as Johnnyseed, follows and confronts Phebe when she sees how poorly she treats Silvius, but it backfires when Phebe falls for her instead. Rosalind beats a hasty retreat with Celia. Phebe tells Silvius she’s going to write “Johnnyseed” a love letter for him to deliver. Back in the forest, Rosalind teases Jacques about his melancholy until Orlando finally arrives. Jacques leaves and Rosalind (Johnnyseed) berates Orlando for being late to his tutoring session. Johnnyseed (Rosalind) convinces Celia to stage a fake wedding between Johnnyseed and Orlando in order to make Rosalind jealous. Orlando isn’t sure about this and leaves to have dinner with Duke Senior. Celia scolds Rosalind for misrepresenting women, but Rosalind can only respond that she’s fallen deeply in love.

Celia tells Rosalind that Orlando is the poet whose writing has so delighted them. When they hear Orlando approaching in argument with Jacques about love, they hide to eavesdrop. Once Jacques leaves, Rosalind steps out and introduces herself as “Johnnyseed”. She promises to cure Orlando of his lovesickness provided he agrees to pretend that she’s Rosalind and comes every day to practice wooing him. Orlando happily agrees. Back at the concert, Touchstone and Audrey make their way through the crowd with her goats, trailed by Jacques. Audrey tries to keep up with Touchstone’s wit until they come across Sir Oliver Martext, who Touchstone asks to marry them. Sir Oliver says he can’t marry Audrey to Touchstone until she’s “given away”. Jacques emerges and offers to give Audrey away, but not until he has a word in private with Touchstone.

Jacques is enraptured by Amiens’ music and begs for more. Meanwhile, Orlando leaves the elderly and exhausted Adam to find food for them to eat. Later in the day, Duke Senior comes upon Jacques, who is elated by his conversation with a fool he met in the forest (Touchstone). As they sit down to eat with their entourage, Orlando enters, sword drawn, and orders them to give him food. Duke Senior soothes him and welcomes him to their feast. Orlando apologizes for his rude behavior and goes to get Adam. Jacques describes how all the world's a stage. Orlando re-enters with Adam and they all dine together. As Amiens sings another song, Orlando describes his saga to Duke Senior, who replies that she knew and loved Orlando’s father, and wants to hear more. Back at the Court, Duke Frederick berates Oliver for failing to kill Orlando. He seizes Oliver's land and property, ordering him to find his brother and bring him back within a week or be banished from the realm forever. Back in the forest of Arden (or Woodstock), Orlando hangs poems to Rosalind on the trees and gives them to everyone he sees. Meanwhile, Corin and Touchstone debate the attributes of courtly and country life. They hear Rosalind (or “Johnnyseed”) reading Orlando’s bad poetry. Touchstone steps forward to mock the poetry and is joined by Celia. They all laugh together.
