Chapter Summaries & Analyses
The events of the barbecue come to a culmination. Ruby has fallen into Vid’s big, fancy fountain and isn’t breathing. An ambulance is called. Erika and Oliver perform CPR for 5 minutes, but Ruby still isn’t breathing. Erika, desperate and frustrated, internally demands that Ruby breathe. Finally, Ruby vomits up water and begins to breathe again. The hospital sends a helicopter for Ruby. Tiffany, caught up in the moment and her own guilt, doesn’t pay attention to Dakota’s reaction. She drives Clementine to the hospital when Sam goes in the helicopter, but they get stuck in a traffic jam. To keep Clementine calm, Tiffany tells her all about her job as an exotic dancer.
Holly stays with Oliver and Erika. Erika passes out from the interaction of alcohol with her medication. Holly confides in Oliver and shares a secret. At the hospital, Ruby’s grandparents arrive, and Pam, Clementine’s mother, scolds Clementine for letting this happen. Clementine is overwhelmed by shame.
In the present, Sam and Clementine argue and blame each other for what happened. They talk about separating. Tiffany realizes that her family needs to see that Ruby is okay to get move forward from the traumatic event.
