How It All Goes Down
Partridge (Knife)
- Apparently Partridge is pretending to be a jerk. It's all part of his plan to steal a key out of Lyda's pocketbook.
- While pretending to storm off to the bathroom, he runs into Glassings, who is the only adult he feels comfortable joking with. After a few awkward back-and-forths, Glassings tells Partridge that he knows he stole stuff from his mother's metal box.
- Glassings tells him he's not alone, but then tells him to hang around with Arvin Weed, a very smart boy in the Dome. Partridge is relieved Glassings doesn't know his full intentions of leaving the Dome.
- Partridge then enters the Domesticity Display in Founders Hall, which is what Lyda's key grants access to. Here, Partridge searches for a knife.
- But Lyda walks in on him snooping around.
- For some reason, she tells him she'll count to twenty and let him do what he wants to. He grabs the knife, and they walk back to the dance, hand-in-hand.
- Lyda and Partridge then kiss on the dance-floor.
