A When they come back, Daisy and tom have an argument on how Gatsby got his money. Tom believes that he got it from bootlegging but Daisy thinks that he got it from the chain of drugstores that he owns. After Daisy and tom leave the party Gatsby finds Nick and tells him that he is unhappy because Daisy had an unpleasant time. Gatsby wants things to be like before he left and wants Daisy to leave Tom but Nick tells Gatsby that you can't re-create the past.

     The next Saturday instead of having a party, Gatsby locks himself up and fires all of his servants to prevent gossip and hires new mean servants. On the hottest day of the summer, Nick visits Daisy at her house and is surprised to see Gatsby and Jordan. Nick, Gatsby, Tom and Daisy all decide to go to New York together. Daisy and Gatsby ride in the Buchanan's car and Tom, Nick and Jordan ride in Gatsby's car. Tom stops for gas at Wilson's garage and Wilson asks for money because he knows that his wife is having an affair but he doesn't know with who and wants to move West. To cool off, the four of them go to the Plaza Hotel where Tom accuses Gatsby of lying about going to Oxford. Then Tom and Gatsby argue about who Daisy loves Tom or Gatsby.

Before Myrtle died, Wilson took her to the window and told her that you can't fool God and he thought that the eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg were the eyes of God.

Mr. Gatz also filled Nick in with Gatsby's early life. Shortly after the funeral, Nick decides to go back home. Before he leaves Nick meets Jordan one last time. Jordan says that Nick is just another careless driver like her. As Nick is leaving he bumps into Tom. Tom reveals that he was the one who told Wilson that it was Gatsby's car. Then the book ends with Nick on Gatsby's blue lawn looking at Daisy's green light.
