- On the way to the city, Jordan notices that Gatsby’s car is running low on fuel. As a thought, Jordan suggests stopping at a station in the Valley of Ashes so they don’t have to worry about it later.

- In NYC, they escaped to a plaza suite. While in the suite, Tom goes through with his plan of confronting Gatsby, Tom accuses Gatsby of lying about attending Oxford. Gatsby says that he only attended from 5 months through an army program following the Great War. Tom then dives into Gatsby’s “bootlegging” operation, questioning Gatsby of what his intentions were with Daisy. Gatsby goes into a fit of rage, with a look on his face that Nick described as “if he had killed a man.” Following this altercation, Daisy starts to draw further away from Gatsby
- Gatsby tells Nick that Daisy killed Myrtle.
- Myrtle runs out into the street after catching sight of the yellow convertible, thinking it was Tom Buchannan. She is struck and instantly killed by Daisy instead, who was driving Gatsby's car to try to calm her nerves. Daisy and Gatsby drive off instead of stopping to help.
- Tom noticed a backup of cars thinking there would be a wreck, thinking it would be helpful for Wilson. Then all three of them caught a glimpse of Myrtle's lifeless body wrapped in a blanket. They all heard it was a fast yellow car that hit her, Tom comes to the sudden realization that he must tell Wilson that wasn’t his car and he hasn't seen it all afternoon.
- Nick was sitting outside the Buchanans house when Gatsby came out of the woods to him and asked about the incident, and if she was killed. Nick guesses that Daisy was driving, and Gatsby said that he would take the fall for it. He also told Nick that he was gonna wait until Daisy went to bed, before he would go home to make sure she was safe.
- Yes.. but I'll take the blame.
- Was it Daisy driving..?
