19th-century London opium den to escape the guilt of his crime, Dorian goes to an opium den, where, unbeknownst to Dorian, James Vane is present. James had been seeking vengeance upon Dorian ever since Sibyl killed herself, but had no leads to pursue as the only thing he knew about Dorian was the name Sibyl called him, "Prince Charming". In the opium den, however, he hears someone refer to Dorian as "Prince Charming", and he accosts Dorian. Dorian deceives James into believing that he is too young to have known Sibyl, who killed herself eighteen years earlier, as his face is still that of a young man. James relents and releases Dorian, but is then approached by a woman from the opium den who reproaches James for not killing Dorian. She confirms that the man was Dorian Gray and explains that he has not aged in eighteen years. James runs after Dorian, but he has gone.
James begins to stalk Dorian, causing Dorian to fear for his life. However, during shooting party, hunter accidentally kill James Vane, who was lurking in a thicket. On returning to London, Dorian tell Lord Henry that he will live righteously from now on. His new probity begin with deliberately not breaking the heart of the naïve Hetty Merton, his current romantic interest. Dorian wonder if his newly-found goodness has rescinded the corruption in the picture but when he look at it, he see only an even uglier image of himself. From that, Dorian understand that his true motives for the self-sacrifice of moral reformation were the vanity and curiosity of his quest for new experience, along with the desire to restore beauty to the picture.
