Book 2, Chapter 14 Summary

Arthur grew increasingly irritated with the mix-ups between alters, especially when he discovered that members of the family were dealing drugs, sleeping with Marlene, and stealing increasing amounts of unaccounted-for time. Therefore, Arthur decided to get away from Ohio and bought a one-way ticket to London. However, when Allen took control, he discovered what Arthur had done and promptly flew straight back home to Ohio.

Allen eventually got a job packing glass at a factory and rented an apartment. Marlene visited Milligan every evening after work. However, the mix-ups kept worsening, and Tommy found himself constantly losing time. Arthur blamed things on Marlene, claiming that she suppressed everyone’s efforts to improve themselves, and he ordered the relationship terminated, despite Tommy and Adalana’s protests. However, the breakup lasted only a couple weeks; Tommy took advantage of the mix-ups and reconciled with Marlene.

Book 2, Chapter 15 Summary

Danny headed to the men’s room, waiting for one of the adults to take over and drive back, and narrowly escaped being sexually assaulted by two men inside. Ragen emerged to defend Danny, breaking both men’s bones, stealing their belongings, and destroying their car before driving off again.
