In this chapter, we find out that Gerald still keeps his cool, despite the fact that he's been using dirty tricks. He's still confident that he can defeat Gerald, even if he has to use dirty tricks to do so. He tells the demon and the old man that he needs to get rid of Gerald. He also tells them that if they don't do it, he'll reveal their weakness and they'll all be hurt. The old men tease him about it, but he doesn't care. He wants to kill Gerald today, but the old men won't let him do it. He threatens to draw the boltons into the fight if the two old men try to stop him.
