- Jeannine has abandoned her engagement to Cal. Back in Joanna's world, she meets Joanna, Janet, Jael, and the omniscient narrator for Thanksgiving dinner at Schrafft's. Jael renews her request for support in the war, and Jeannine agrees. Janet says no, and Jael reveals that the plague that wiped out the men on Whileaway was brought by her people.
- As the women part ways, Joanna/the omniscient narrator sends The Female Man—the book itself—out into the world, all the way to us, Shmoopers.
