The very end of this book is when they arrive back at the Ruins and try to figure out their next course of action. Maddy told David that his father had died while being experimented on in an effort to erase his memories and to bring him back to society under control, not spreading his "crazy" beliefs. Doctor Cable had told Maddy about Tally's betrayal and eventually told David about it too. She also explained to them that she had found a way to erase the lesions from pretty's minds through some of Dr. Cable's previous work. It was after Shay refused to be altered by any of Maddy's cure for the lesions that Tally made a fateful decision in an effort to help other pretties who wanted to be free from government control.. Tally chose to turn herself in to Special Circumstances and would sign a release saying she wanted to take the cure no matter what she said after her operation. She sacrificed herself to become what she hated the most which showed how much she had changed throughout the book and was no longer a selfish person who did everything for her own gain.
