It tells the story of a small-town woman, Hester Linden, and her cult-like influence on a small band of followers, leaving them virtually lifeless.

Mitchell and Weck head back to the Frys' along a route that will pass by Linden's house.

When Weck questions the choice of route, Mitchell finds himself succumbing to thoughts of Linden, and he lies down in the wet grass.

While babysitting the Fry children together, Mitchell tells Weck his only interest in her is to liberate her from Linden.

Myrtle comes home early, highly upset because she has all but proven that Rex is having an affair with his stenographer.

Teeter has made arrangements to have a house ready for the two, but he alternates between worshipping Weck and wondering whether she really has any interest in him at all.

Weck proves almost useless at being helpful, unable to remember how to make coffee even.

Teeter again comes by in the morning, this time with news that his parents will give them a new Buick as a wedding present, and that their marriage license will be ready in five days, to appear in that evening's newspaper.

Linden delivers a short feminist speech in the context of a woman running for mayor of their town.
