The leader is trying to calm Oedipus and Kreon down. Jokasta goes in the room with the leader and tries to discuss the situation with Oedipus. Oedipus ends up finding out that he may be the killer based on the clues and the story. However, they must wait for the slave that was at the scene to verify all the information. If it’s correct then Oedipus will have to resign and run away. A messenger from Korinth came to Jokastas house and announced that Chance killed Polybos so Oedipus is not guilty! Oedipus was now relieved. 

Oedipus is still afraid now because he slept with his mother and it isn’t allowed but the messenger is telling him It’s all okay and Polybos isn’t even his father. The messenger was telling Oedipus that his father abandoned him and he was taken and cared for by someone else. Oedipus then finds out that he wasn’t supposed to be alive but someone decided to secretly keep him alive but it sounds like he doesn’t appreciate it. Oedipus mother commits suicide and he is devastated and wants to die too.
