Some guards notice that he’s been buried and go to tell Creon, who, by the way, freaks the heck out. The guards clear the dirt off of him and continue watching over the body. Antigone comes back the next day and sees him unburied and bursts into tears. Of course, then she buries him again, but this time she gets caught. So the same guard that oh, so narrowly escaped death the first time he went to visit Creon comes back, and this time he has Antigone with him. She happily admits to the “crime” and Creon is just like, “this girl is a crazy anarchist, throw her in a cave with food! The gods can save her if they want!” SO that’s just what they do, and everyone starts flipping out. They know that Antigone was right to bury her brother even though the law forbade it. So Haemon decides that he’s gonna go talk to his insane father and try to tell him that this is a bad idea, but because he’s a paranoid, power crazy lunatic, Creon is just not hearing anything that his poor son
