How It All Goes Down
- Okay, so when Thomas wakes up this time, he just hears whispers and sees a blinding light. He's in a hospital.
- Thomas hears a man and a woman complaining about how a working gun got into the city. They then decide to "just get on with it" (41.10).
- And Thomas passes out "for the umpteenth time" (41.12). We didn't make that up.
- When Thomas wakes up, he feels no pain. Woohoo. Then he dozes off. Aww.
- Thomas wakes up, and he hears the man and woman talking again.
- The woman says that the procedure they're doing might actually be a help to Thomas—and that him hearing them talk is probably a good thing. That way, Thomas knows WICKED will jump in if need be.
- Oh, and it turns out that there are only about four or five Candidates that are viable for whatever WICKED's plan is. Hmm.
- And then the drugs take over.
