Summary - It starts with Lenina and Bernard in their rest-house, and Lenina taking six half-gramme tablets of Soma. The next day, Bernard set his plan into motion. He said they have seven hours before Lenina gets back from her soma holiday, and they'll be done far before then. He lands on the roof of the Sante Fe post office and went through the world controller's office. He spoke to two of the Fordship's personal secretaries before speaking with Mustapha Mond. He got the correct paperwork to take John and his mom to London. Meanwhile, as Bernard was showing his paperwork to the warden, John found a way into Bernard's and Lenina's rest house. He played with the zipper on Lenina's shorts, and then put her slippers on. Afterwards, he goes into the room Lenina is sleeping in and watches her. He debates with himself whether he wants to touch her or not, but decides against it. He then dashes outside to meet Bernard at the helicopter.
This chapter was important because it introduced the inciting event. The inciting event is John being allowed to travel back to London with Bernard.
Allusions - Romeo and Juliet - when John is watching Lenina sleep, he recites Romeo and Juliet
