General Kutúzov arrives to inspect the army, with Prince Andrew and Prince Nesvítski who are joking privately. Prince Andrew reminds Kutúzov that he wanted to inspect Dólokhov, which he does, and proceeds to shame for actions that got him demoted.
The regimental commander has a conversation with Captain Timokhin, who reveals that Prince Andrew is a moody character - moody one day, wild the next - and that he almost killed a Jew while they were in Poland. The Captain threatens to take Dólokhov's epaulettes if he stuffs up again.
Zherkóv rides up to Dolókhov and asks him if we wants to play cards, who declines as he wants to restore his good name.
