The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants Chapter 8 Summary

  • Epigraph: "I have seen the future and it's like the present, only longer."—Dan Quisenberry
  • Tibby is trying to eat dinner and help her mom feed her younger siblings at the same time. Mom has been busy since she became a real estate agent, and while the family seems to have more money, they also seem to have less family time. So telling mom about Bailey was a no-go.
  • Tibby tries to sleep, but she can't stop thinking about Bailey lying on the drugstore floor.
  • Meanwhile, Bridget is relentlessly chasing after Eric—she writes to Carmen and admits she is the ultimate flirt.
  • Lena is wearing the Pants for the last day. She heads to the olive grove for some quality painting time.
  • Feeling pressure to create history in the Pants, she impulsively goes skinny dipping in the pond. She feels like a Greek goddess in the water, but then she hears footsteps. Uh-oh…
  • Kostos appears. She assumes he has been stalking her, so upset and very embarrassed, she returns to her grandparents' house.
