The play resumes by repeating the end of the first act, beginning with Pierrette’s entrance. Angéline cries, “My God! I’m caught” (74). The women are indignant at Pierrette’s familiarity with Angéline, and Angéline pretends to faint. The women fuss over her, but Pierrette informs them that Angéline visits her at the club every Friday night. She nudges Angéline to stop faking, and Angéline admits that Pierrette is telling the truth. The women are shocked, although Angéline swears that she does nothing wrong and only drinks Coke. Pierrette verifies this, but the women are still horrified that Angéline is spending time in a nightclub. Rhéauna renounces Angéline as a friend, and the three sisters pronounce, “A club! The fastest road to hell!” (77). The women shame Angéline and Pierrette in unison like a Greek chorus. Linda, Ginette, and Lise respond together, protesting that clubs aren’t evil places. The other women reply that young people are fools and that they won’t realize that they’ve lost themselves until it’s too late. This causes Lise to worry that it is in fact too late.

The women continue scolding Angéline, reminding her that going to a club is a mortal sin. Angéline begs them to listen to her, explaining that she has been going to clubs for four years and that the people there are no different than they are.
