The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants Chapter 10 Summary

  • Epigraph: "If you feel like you're under control, you're just not going fast enough."—Mario Andretti
  • Carmen is spending quality time with her father, but she has a guilty conscience—Lydia's first husband is a drunk and her mother is dead, but Carmen still feels bitter.
  • When Albert wants to stop to watch Paul play soccer, Carmen cops major attitude. Someone's got a serious case of jealousy…
  • Back at soccer camp, Bridget decides to take a morning swim. She thinks about Eric's words the night before, and since he said we instead of you, she decides this as a good sign.
  • Scrimmage time. Bridget tries to impress Eric—she scores a goal, and then another, and then another. Coach Molly pulls her from the game, telling her to settle down since this is just a scrimmage.
  • Embarrassed, Bridget realizes she went over the top. How can she keep her intensity under control?
  • Carmen writes Tibby a note: She is sick of the wedding talk.
  • Back to the soccer field—Paul's though, not Bridget's. Of course he's the star of team, so other parents compliment Carmen's father for having such a great son. She becomes livid, and now officially hates Paul.
  • Lydia shows up in full-on wedding-crisis mode, so Albert ditches Carmen and their tennis game to help with resolving the problem.
  • After Paul's game, Carmen kills him in a tennis match. It makes her feel better.
