Chapter 24 Summary: “2009”

India gives birth just before college graduation. The Andrews name the baby Lewis. Afterward, India recovers in her dorm room, and Dakota helps pull her out of her depression. Davis gets a dream job in San Francisco, working to bring musical theater into schools. India celebrates by showering him with confetti made from a torn-up playbill. Though they have already broken up, it still hurts India to think of him leaving. Davis encourages her to reach out to Ajax and keep chasing her dream. They both cry as they say their goodbyes.

India calls Ajax, and as he praises her performance of Lady Macbeth, she realizes that he didn’t know she was pregnant. She keeps the truth hidden and listens as Ajax proposes a role for her on Broadway in a new play based on Aeschylus’s Hypermnestra. On her way to the audition, India meets a repairman in the elevator who helps her warm up by doing improv. India auditions for the role while carefully concealing that she is still bleeding and lactating, and she gets the part. When she arrives at rehearsals, she learns that the repairman was the director Henri LeClerk, who disguised himself in the elevator to test her.
