After the unfortunate jailing of one of the maids because of a petty theft blown way out or proportion, Skeeter finally has all of the maids she needs to interview for the book. She continues to meet with them in secret and worries that everything will come out in the open at any minute. After dating Stuart for a couple of months, she and her parents are finally invited for dinner at the Senator's home. There, she realizes her father shares her same views about colored people and that Stuart is still in love with his ex-fiance.
Aibileen has been faithfully facilitating the interviews with Skeeter and the other maids. She continues to work for Miss Leefolt and tells Mae Mobley everyday how special and kind she is. She tells her stories of whites and colored being the same and being friends and the little girl enjoys the stories.
Minny continues to work for Miss Celia even though she thinks she is a horrible drunk. She soon realizes that the liquid in the brown bottles is not alcohol when she finds Miss Celia sitting in a pool of blood on the bathroom floor. She had been drinking a concoction she hoped would help her keep her baby inside of her but sadly it did not work. She loses baby number 4 in the toilet and begs Minny not to tell her husband.
