She's Come Undone Chapter 15 Summary

How It All Goes Down

  • At the Halloween party, Dolores's costume is "refreshment committee member" which means she looks just like she always does.
  • Naomi is arguing politics with Marcia until her boyfriend arrives.
  • Dolores is supposed to be staying in Naomi's room while Kippy and Eric stay in their room all weekend, so Dolores goes after Naomi to get her room key.
  • Eric, dressed as the Jolly Green Giant, grabs Dolores, pushes her down, and tries to hump her in the grass.
  • She knees him in the balls and runs away.
  • Dolores hides in the parking lot before sneaking up to her room. Eric has trashed it, ripped up her clothes, and broken her mother's paining.
  • She salvages a few remaining articles of clothing, a scrap of the painting, and Dante's boudoir shots, then she calls Dottie for a ride.
  • Dottie is excited to show Dolores her fish and feed her some clams (we are not making this up).
  • At her apartment, they eat, drink, and look at fish.
  • Dottie confesses that she had a son who died, then she tells Dolores again that she loves her.
  • Dolores tries to push her away, but Dottie kisses her anyway.
  • They go to the bed and Dottie undresses them both.
  • "Do me first" (2.15.152), Dottie says, and she guides Dolores's hand between her legs.
  • After that's done, before Dolores even has a chance to use some hand sanitizer, Dottie gets on the floor and returns the favor.
  • They sleep a bit, but then Dolores wakes up, goes to the kitchen, grabs a knife, and considers killing herself.
  • She doesn't. She kills the fish instead, pouring Clorox into their tanks.
  • She runs, and gets a cab (with the same cab driver who took drove her to the college) to… we're not sure where yet, but it's thirteen hours away.
