Chapter Summaries & Analyses
In the present, Ted meets Brad for drinks at Cooley’s. Brad drives Ted back to his house, and they sit on the couch drinking beers. Ted understands what Lily meant when she said that some people affect the world negatively—he thinks that Brad is one of those people. Ted goes to the bathroom and when he returns, he sees that Brad passed out on the couch. Ted searches through some of Brad’s drawers. He finds a gun in one of the drawers and thinks about taking it but knows that Brad will suspect him of stealing it. Instead, he takes a spare key to the house and walks home.
In a flashback, Lily spends most of her time with Eric at St. Dunstan’s. She spends time with Eric’s ex-girlfriend Faith, who starts dating another member of the fraternity.

Afterwards, she walks towards Eric’s office. She runs into a girl named Katie from college who offers to get coffee with her. Lily asks Katie about Eric and Katie seems under the impression that Lily and Eric broke up.
