At Gav's trial the lawyer says that one of the victims was dressed like she was begging for it, and that is something that still happens today in trials. Lawyers keeps asking the question "what was she wearing" as if it was relevant. As if it's okay to rape someone based on what she is wearing.

At one point in the book Dale pretends that he isn't bothered by Sally and Hawthorne just because he doesn't want to satisfy them. I think most people have done something similar to this, including me.

Dale is really curious about why things turned out as they did, and the thought of that he might turn out to be just like his brother scares him to death. At the same time he tries his best to fit in his new school, but his way of trying to impress Sally and Carla only leads him to being humiliated by both of them and he feels even worse than before.

He goes to his weekly meeting with his counsellor Rolf, who knows everything about Dales past and his true identity. Upset, Dale tells him about how he feels and what he is worried about, that he’ll turn out like his older brother. Rolf calms him down and explains to him that murdering isn’t something that you inherit.

Dale could barely bare with Will since before, and he really gets his patience tested when Will shows up after the meeting in the crypt, to ask him out about what he was doing over there and puts Dale under pressure.

In class, Dale gets a question about Wuthering Heights. He answers the question a little too detailed which almost causes the teacher to find out that he is from Haworth, but Dale saves the situation by saying that he has only visited the area but that he used to live miles away. By saying that, no one suspects anything, and Dale’s secret about his real identity and where he used to live before is safe. But Will is a little curious about Dale and feels like he’s hiding something. He has felt that way ever since he found Dale in the crypt the other day.

He starts lurking into Dales private stuff, and hopes to find out what he is hiding.

At the same time the journalist Minnie Cooper talks to different people who were in the family’s life before, pretending to be somebody else, to get as much information as she can get about where the family possibly could be. Dale’s ex-bestfriend gives her the idea to wait at Gav’s prison until somebody from the family shows up. Gav’s mother comes to visits the prison, and ironically she stays at the same pub as Minnie Cooper overnight.
