Chapter 37 Summary: “The Last Zap”

It’s the last day of school, the day Ross receives his last treatment, and the day of the talent show. Abby and Jimmy are excited, but Ross is consumed by anxiety about the show.

At his last treatment, Ross’s nervousness and anger energize him. A group of people greets Ross in the lobby to congratulate him afterward. He sees Abby, his parents, Frank, Dr. Throckton, and many people who work at the center; he notes Jerry’s absence. Frank presents Ross with an electric guitar from Ross’s parents. Ross loves it immediately and sketches it. Then Frank gives Ross his acoustic guitar to keep for good.

When Abby gives Ross a hug, he sees Jimmy is behind her, looking uncomfortable. Jimmy shakes Ross’s hand. Frank announces it’s time for the children to go. Denny appears and shouts, “TONIGHT WE ROCK BLOOMINGTON!” (283).

In “Batpig vs The Butterflies (of Doom)” (283), Batpig is eating cereal when he feels fluttering in his stomach. He uses his x-ray “pigvision” to see the Butterflies of Doom are in his stomach, taunting him. Batpig uses deep breathing and walking to soothe the butterflies and then returns to his cereal.
