The Candymakers

The contestants continue touring Life Is Sweet and meeting the factory workers before breaking for lunch. Everyone orders chocolate pizza, except for Philip; he wants traditional pizza. He stays behind to wait for his pizza while the other contestants venture outside for a picnic. While sitting by the pond, Miles admits that he’s allergic to rowboats, pancakes, and the color pink. These are all things that remind him of the drowned girl.

Daisy goes off by herself to read a book, although later we learn that she’s actually conducting spy business through a secret screen that’s hidden in the book. Logan and Miles walk into the woods so that he can show Miles a chrysalis that he’s been observing every day. Logan hopes to see the moment the butterfly emerges from its cocoon, and he has made a temporary shelter to protect the developing butterfly from the elements. 

Logan visits Henry the marshmallow maker, who is like a grandfather to him. Logan admits that he’s feeling insecure about his candy idea, but Henry reassures him. He pulls out his mother’s note for the day that says, “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about” (76).
