Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Gabi informs her family about her and Sal heading to Culeco. Despite initial skepticism from American Stepmom, Gabi’s family reveals her routine of coming and going from school with her own set of keys. Addressing American Stepmom’s concerns about the late hour, Gabi convinces American Stepmom to agree.
Inside the building, Gabi reveals that the cameras at Culeco are deactivated. Armed with the entropy sweeper, they head to Yasmany’s locker. As they contemplate the risks and benefits of Sal inhaling calamitrons to close the hole, Sal takes on the responsibility and inhales three calamitrons before Gabi intervenes. Realizing the need for caution, they decide to have Sal checked at the hospital before proceeding.
Searching the multipurpose room for calamitrons, they come across a stack of gym mats and a teddy bear, identified by Gabi as “oso amoroso.” Gabi promptly texts Yasmany, who expresses astonishment that they’ve found him.
Gabi and Sal discover Yasmany in the bathroom, brushing his teeth. Accusations fly as Gabi confronts Yasmany. Feeling hurt, Gabi questions why Yasmany ran away from home without telling her. Seeking support, Yasmany looks at Sal, who diffuses the tension with a well-timed fart, transforming the atmosphere into one of laughter, filled with fart jokes and giggles.
