He does not want to be sent into exile alone. He dares to ask Creon, his brother-in-law and royal successor, for what he wants.

Which favors does Oedipus ask of Creon?
A last visit with, and royal protection for, his daughters are the favors that Theban King Oedipus asks of his brother-in-law and uncle, Theban King Creon. Daughters Antigone and Ismene are young and therefore not as adept at handling the family scandal as are their older twin brothers, Eteocles and Polyneices. Oedipus hopes that Creon will honor the ties of blood and royalty to his princess nieces. The girls well may have problems finding husbands and leading acceptable lives as the daughters of a murderous father and of incestuous parents.
What does Oedipus ask Creon regarding Jocasta in 'Oedipus Rex'?
That he give her a proper burial is what Oedipus asks of Creon regarding Jocasta in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Queen Jocasta hangs herself once she realizes that King Oedipus is not only her second husband but also her son and therefore both father and half-brother to their four children. Her body as that of one become abhorrent to the gods and to mortals is left on the bedroom floor where Oedipus puts her in order to remove her golden brooches with which to blind himself. In a chilling foreshadowing to the burial/non-burial controversy in "Antigone," Oedipus trusts that Creon, his royal successor and Jocasta's brother, will honor her divinely guaranteed right as a Theban to proper below-ground burial and funeral rites.
Whom does Oedipus ask to have brought to him at the end of Episode 2 in 'Oedipus Rex'?
The sole survivor of the fatal attack on Laius and his escort is the person that Oedipus asks to have brought to him at the end of Episode 2 in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Queen Jocasta's most trusted servant is the only person to survive the attack that leaves Theban King Creon and four members of his escort party dead. Upon his return to the palace, the servant requests a transfer back to shepherding in the hills outside Thebes. That he leaves the palace premises once Oedipus becomes King is the reason that the servant needs to be sent for when needed.
What step does Oedipus already take to deal with the plague in 'Oedipus Rex'?
Sending Creon to consult the oracle at Apollo's shrine is the step already taken by Oedipus to deal with the plaque in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus shows himself to be an effective, informed, sensitive ruler.

Is Oedipus separated from his children in 'Oedipus Rex'?
Yes, Oedipus is separated from his children in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, disgraced Theban King Oedipus asks to meet with his young daughters, the sister Princesses Antigone and Ismene. He does not ask to meet with his sons, the twin brother Princes Eteocles and Polyneices. He is supposed to be placed under house arrest pending divine indication of whether he is to be executed or exiled. His brother-in-law and royal successor, King Creon, therefore separates father from daughters immediately after the meeting is over.
