- Skeeter is depressed after breaking up with Stewart. Hilly won't give her back the Jim Crow law book until Skeeter finally prints the stupid "bathroom initiative" in the Junior League newsletter.
- Hilly is really mad at Skeeter for her "typo" in the newsletter. Instead of having people drop off their used coats for the coat drive, Skeeter told people to drop off their used toilets for the initiative and so Hilly's "yard of the year" is covered with a ton of used toilets . . .haha. Serves her right.
- Trouble is a-brewin' with Hilly, and Aibileen warns Skeeter about it.
- Uh oh, the lie about Minny working for Miss Celia has come out . . .things look like they are going to get bad before they get any better.
- This chapter contained a weird incident where Miss Celia beat up a creepy peeping Tom . . .he was gross. I'm rather proud of her for that.
- It seems that Celia doesn't understand the dress code for the upcoming Junior League benefit and ends up looking like a hussy (in the eyes of some of the other ladies anyways).
- Minny is feeling that both she and Celia are doomed as soon as Hilly has anything to say about it.
- Oh Celia. She made such a mess of herself at the Benefit. She got really drunk and made a huge scene and puked in front of everyone. Hilly starts a rumor about Celia that she is a compulsive liar.
- There is more talk of Minny's pie and what Hilly has to do with it. Hopefully that is explained soon.
Well now that the benefit is over, I have a feeling things are all going to be concluded soon. The benefit felt like the climax of the novel, so now we just have to wait and see where the chips fall, so to speak. I'm getting anxious to finish the book so I can watch the movie. I can't wait to see what Hollywood thinks these ladies look like. Any guesses?
