Chapter 22 Summary

Pete uses his connections to get Mal, Ingrid, and Kath inside the radio station. The receptionist, June, is eager to cooperate with the sheriff’s son and allows them to observe the office freely. They enter an empty booth, and Mal abruptly asks Pete if he feels bad about being a bully. Pete defends himself and says Jennifer isn’t fragile and that they became friends after the capoeira incident. Then, Pete turns the tables and accuses Mal of bullying Jennifer by sharing secret photos. Mal is shocked to learn that everyone knows about the pictures, including Kath and Ingrid. She admits that what she did was wrong but thinks Pete is worse for telling Jennifer about the photos. When Pete argues that he didn’t say anything and doesn’t gossip like girls do, Ingrid shouts at him for being sexist and a bully. Flustered by their attacks, Pete leaves, and Kath tells Ingrid that she’s “awesome.”
