The Selection Chapter 22 Summary

How It All Goes Down

  • We return to find America and Maxon in the garden. America is desperately trying to convince Maxon that Celeste is pulling dirty tricks, but he doesn't buy it.
  • America keeps pushing it, and Maxon eventually snaps back at her. She should know her place, he says. Ouch. Then he storms off. Double ouch.
  • Maxon tries to tug his ear twice at dinner that night, but America refuses both tugs.
  • To make things worse, America now has to walk past Aspen as he guards her door. Ugh.
  • America can't sleep that night. Suddenly, the door opens, and Aspen enters wordlessly.
  • Aspen and America are making out hardcore in about three seconds flat. They do that for most of the night until Aspen has to return to his post. America passes out instantly.
