Mrs. Shelby rejoiced at the fact that Eliza and Harry escaped but had to hide this fact because Mr. Shelby was upset by the news fearing that Mr. Haley will think he helped Eliza and Harry run away.

Mr. Haley arrives to collect Harry and Tom and hears of the escape. He burst into the house and questions Mr. Shelby aggressively Mr. Shelby quickly tells him to calm down in front of his wife.

Mr. Haley and Mr. Shelby talk for a while until Mr. Shelby has finally had enough and sends the slaves to ready a horse for Mr. Haley so that he can go after Eliza and Harry.

The slaves take as long as the possible can and put a beechnut under the saddle so if anybody sits on the saddle and it will press on the horse's back.

Mr. Shelby tells a slave Sam to show Mr. Haley the way. When Mr. Haley sits on the horse it throws him off, delaying them longer.

By the time the horses are ready again it is almost time for lunch. This prompts Sam to tell Mr. Haley that he might need to eat before their journey, to delay him longer. Mrs. Shelby overhears this and invites Mr. Shelby inside for lunch to help Eliza get further away with Harry.

Aunt Chloe cooks the lunch at a extremely leisurely pace to stall Mr. Haley even more.

Andy and Sam serve as Mr. Haley's escort when they finally leave around 2 o'clock. Andy and Sam take Mr. Haley on a route they know Eliza wouldn't have take give Eliza more time to escape and hide.

The night Eliza ran away she prays to God and runs. Eventually she arrives at the Ohio River the barrier between the north and the south. Half the waterway is frozen so the ferry is not running. She learns that a boatman might attempt a crossing later, so she gets a room at an inn so that Harry can sleep. As he sleeps she looks out the window at the river wishing to cross it.

Mr. Haley and the slaves arrive at the town where Eliza is 45 minutes after she has put Harry to sleep. Sam sees Eliza in the window and lets his hat blow off and shouts loudly so that Eliza would see him and make her escape yet again.

Once Eliza notices Sam she jumps into action and grabs Harry and throws open the door. She leaps over the currents onto a chunk of ice and goes from chunk to chunk ignoring the pain and the cold to get her son to safety.

When Eliza gets to the other side of the river a man helps her up. She recognizes the man as Mr. Symmes a farm owner of a farm not far from her old home. At first Eliza was scared he would turn her in but he showed compassion and points her to a house where she would get help.

Mr. Haley can't follow Eliza and Harry across the river so he returns to the tavern and hires a professional slave catcher named Tom Loker to hunt down Eliza and Harry. They make a deal where if they catch the slaves, they may take Eliza as long as they bring Harry back to Mr. Haley.

Andy and Shelby are unaware of the deal Mr. Haley has made and return to the Shelby house and happily tell everyone the story of Eliza jumping from the ice chunks. Assuming that Eliza escaped completely.
