Chapter 8 Summary

A couple of months later, Willie works as team manager for the girls' basketball team, where Jenny is the star. She scores a shot that ties a game, and then her team wins in overtime. During and after the game, Willie is ashamed of himself, because he envies Jenny. After the game, Jenny wants Willie to celebrate with her, but he admits he is too jealous to enjoy her victory.

During his next session with Cyril, Willie talks about all of this. Cyril says that the only solution is for Willie to let go completely of the golden boy he used to be. Otherwise, he will continue to feel jealous and angry with everybody. Cyril warns Willie that if he does not let that go, he will lose Jenny. Willie decides to ask Jenny to come to a session with him next week...
