The Kid has been absent for some time during the winter and the narrator suggests that Alicia may have thought that his disappearance was for good. She returns home one night from supplemental courses at the university and finds The Kid in her room. He begins ordering her around and takes an antagonistic tone toward her. He questions her on the B that she received in religion class, and says that a B is the equivalent of failing. As The Kid and Alicia argue, a hallucination named Grogan appears and begins singing and dancing to a lewd Irish limerick. The Kid shoos away Grogan; Alicia becomes defiant toward The Kid; finally, new characters emerge who once again perform auditions. The Kid is unimpressed and sends them away as well.
Bobby meets Oiler for lunch at the bar, named the Seven Seas. They discuss the plane crash again, and that two men visited Bobby, seeking information on what he knew. Oiler mentions a job he is taking, one that involves assembling pipe underwater in Colombia. Oiler tries to get Bobby to come along, but because of the nature of the job, specifically because of how deep the water is where they will be working, Bobby declines.
