Part 4, Chapter 48 Summary

The helicopter continues searching for Eurydice, who isn’t aboard the ship with Charlie. Officers bring Charlie to a hospital where he’ll be treated and questioned. The helicopter returns to Monet’s estate after a few hours. Lorelei and the girls are at the hospital, and she calls to update Noah about Charlie, who has a fractured leg and a ruptured spleen. Charlie spoke with the police already, which worries Noah because he was likely still in shock. Lorelei invited Julia to join them, and Noah puts his hurt ego aside to accept her help.


Buses arrive to take away the Monet Group retreaters, and Morrissey offers Noah a ride to the hospital. They pick up clothes for Noah, and Morrissey talks nonstop on the whole journey.


Alice tells Blair about Charlie’s accident and Eurydice’s disappearance, which isn’t in the news yet. She guiltily thinks that the situation is so extreme that no one will care about the accident anymore, so she won’t have to reveal her secret.

Part 4, Chapter 49 Summary

At the hospital, Noah splashes water on his face before meeting his family. He’s thankful that there aren’t any stories about Eurydice yet since Charlie’s reputation will likely be tarnished by the incident.
