Chapter Summaries & Analyses
The Andersson family continue to grow farther apart and quieter, while the rest of the town grows their tension exponentially. Peter wants to avoid speaking up against the Pack and removing their standing area in the rink, but Theo reminds him that their agreement is important. Somehow, an email from the new sponsors to Peter instructing him to make the skating rink more family friendly, a sub textual hint for getting rid of the Pack’s standing area, circulates in the news. Peter cannot escape this divide. Meanwhile, Teemu’s mother receives a letter with Vidar’s new address, an apartment he has to live with instead of living his family, and Teemu angrily seeks out Theo, whom Teemu discovers is the one who filed the application on Vidar’s behalf. Theo recognizes the danger in Teemu, but also the potential alliance. He tells Teemu that they can be friends, because they are both anti-establishment. Theo tells him he can make sure the standing area at the rink remains in place. Then, Teemu receives a video circulating around town: A Beartown hockey jersey with Benji’s name on the back burning in Hed. He sends out messages to the Pack and picks up Benji to join him in Hed.
