How It All Goes Down
- Before heading off to eavesdrop on Jack, Tris realizes that Tobias is trying to prove himself to the Dauntless… but why?
- Glad you asked. It's because he wants Dauntless to ally with the factionless.
- Tris figures all this out in her head and gets mad that Tobias never told her his plan.
- Tris gets distracted thinking about how hot Tobias is… at least until he opens his mouth and basically tells her that he expects her to stay home like a 1950s housewife and let him do all the dirty work.
- After this lovers' spat, everyone gets into position on the bridge for some super-spy eavesdropping. They listen in as Jack meets with Max, Jeanine's representative.
- Max says that Candor, Jack's faction, is expendable (like Sylvester Stallone), but he'll be nice and not eradicate them all if they do three things for him: 1) Return the Dauntless leader (Eric) unharmed; 2) Allow the compound to be searched for Divergent, and 3) Bring him a Double Stack and Chocolate Frosty from Wendy's for lunch every day.
- No, wait, we mean 3) Name the people who weren't injected with simulation serum.
- The conversation between Max and Jeanine is cut short when Lynn shoots Max. Um, that's not how eavesdropping works, Lynn.
- Everyone scatters, and Tris realizes that Jeanine must be nearby, transmitting what to say to Max through an earpiece. (When Max got shot, did Jeanine say "Ouch"?)
- Tris races for a glass building where she thinks Jeanine is hiding.
- Tris is right. Jeanine is there… with Peter. What a traitor.
- Before she can do anything to Peter or Jeanine, Tris hears a scream. She decides to go help her friends instead of pursuing Jeanine.
