Oedipa and Metzger have become somewhat close and it appears as though they are going to have a small "thing" between them. Oedipa talks about and compares herself to Rapunzel which is ultimately very confusing. She also goes on a rant about Pierce's extensive stamp collection. There are two groups introduced n this chapter. The John Birch Society and the Peter Pinguid Society. Oedipa meets Kike Fallopian, as in the Fallopian tube(s). Mike is a member of the Pinguid Society.
