Ransom awakens and eats. As he walks, he notices an animal on the ground. It turns out to be an injured frog that has a huge tear across its back. He kills the frog to end its misery. He begins to walk againbut finds a trail of these injured frogs. The trail leads to Weston, who is tearing another frog with his fingernail. Weston looks up and appears corpselike. Ransom decides that whatever powers the body is no longer Weston. He sees pure evil in Weston and finds himself weakened by the presence. Ransom faints.
When Ransom awakens from fainting, he is alone. He decides to search for Weston, to try to stop him from meeting the woman. After travelling to find Weston, Ransom finds him and the woman in conversation. Weston is attempting to make her move to the Fixed Land. He argues that Ransom wants to keep her ignorant because he didn’t teach her about death. She asks Weston to teach her. Ransom tries to argue that she should learn these things as Maleldil teaches them, but Weston claims that Maleldil would want her to become her own, instead of relying on Him. He claims that Maleldil wants her to disobey.
