In this chapter, Linda tries to convince Brooke that she's not a bad person after all. She tells Brooke that her father and stepfather both asked her to marry them, but that she was too strong and self-willed to accept them. She also tells Brooke not to worry about losing her virginity, because failure in love will make her learn and grow. Brooke tells her that it's better to lose weight than to date a man who's just playing with her. Brooke says that she doesn't deserve to be praised, and that everyone wants to praise her, but the reality is totally different.
