Chapter 32 Summary

The next time Tris and Tobias pass each other in the hallway, they briefly escape their guards. They locate a central control room, which was Tobias’s real goal: identifying the locations of the two central control rooms. He tells Tris to hold on, because they have a plan. In exactly two weeks—on the day that Jeanine has scheduled Tris’s execution—the factionless, the loyal Dauntless, and the Abnegation will storm Erudite headquarters and destroy all the simulation data, freeing Tris in the process.

Tris doesn’t want to survive this process, but she doesn’t tell Tobias that.

Chapter 33 Summary

Caleb approaches Tris before one of the results sessions. She cannot understand his betrayal of their parents, or her. Caleb arrogantly assumes that his decision is right because he sees the big picture, which eludes her.

Tris discovers that she has more mirror neurons in her brain than a typical person; these neurons account for her flexible personality and multiple aptitudes. Tris cannot bring herself to care. She just wants everything to be over.

Tris wakes up inside the next simulation, in which Tobias is helping her to escape. She soon realizes that she is inside a simulation and ends it. Jeanine is so furious that she is driven to attack Tris and holds a gun to her head.
