The Wynand house is built, and Wynand, Dominique, and Roark luxuriate in it. The even seem to enjoy the natural surroundings. Yes! I, too, am shocked!
Roark would like to stay and play, but he has a secret project that's keeping him busy busy busy.
Keating presents Roark's plans for Cortlandt Homes as his own to Toohey. Toohey: Well done!
Wynand sees a copy of the awarded design for Cortlandt Homes in the Banner. He recognizes it as Roark's work. So does Dominique. Roark insists he didn't design the project, and he'll sue anyone who says he did.
Alvah Scarret is getting uppity with Wynand.
Wynand has ordered the Banner to puff Roark. Because it's the Banner, this actually hurts Roark's reputation. Heller complains to Roark about this. Roark is unmoved.
Wynand takes Roark to a run-down, two-block by five-block section of Hell's Kitchen that he bought long ago. This to be the site of the Wynand building, the tallest and awesomest skyscraper in New York. He wants Roark to build it.
One day Keating runs into Katie. Awkward! They go to a quiet sandwich shop to talk. He feels bad about jilting her. Yes, it hurt her terribly. She's over that now. They reminisce. She leaves.
