Allegiant

Tobias Eaton walks to Tris’s cell, and the guard admits him without question. He sees Tris crouched on the ground, but she rises and hugs him. Tris asks what’s been happening, and Tobias explains that Evelyn has locked the city down. He says Evelyn doesn’t care about helping the people outside the fence because she wants first to help the city’s citizens.

Tobias then warns Tris, Christina, and Cara that Evelyn plans to put them on trial with the help of truth serum, and they will be convicted traitors if found guilty. They are traitors because they helped broadcast the video of Edith Prior in defiance of the city’s leaders. Because Tris is Divergent, Tobias tells Tris to lie through the truth serum. If she succeeds, all three girls should be acquitted.

Tris is at her trial under the influence of truth serum in a conference room within Erudite Headquarters. She’s been a prisoner for a week. Evelyn asks her why she was working with Marcus, and Tris says it was because she was too scared to be a soldier, so she wanted to help the cause in another way. She thought Marcus was following Evelyn’s orders. Evelyn ends the interrogation and releases Tris, telling her she’s a fool but not a traitor.

Tris stands up and feels dizzy, so Uriah walks her to the elevator. He takes her to an all-glass floor. This area used to be the dormitory for Erudite initiates. Caleb takes her to a bed and tells her Christine and Cara should be released later. Tris thinks about her brother Caleb, who won’t be released because he worked with Janine Matthews. She then asks Uriah how he’s handling the loss of his friends, but he doesn’t want to talk about it. He gets up to leave and tells Tris that Tobias wants to meet her at 10 pm in Millennium Park.

Evelyn questions Tobias’s loyalty, explaining that she knows he helped Tris broadcast the Edith Prior video. Tobias says he didn’t know what the video was but trusted Tris’s judgment. Evelyn asks if he thinks they should leave the city; he can’t lie and says he’s afraid of what’s outside the city fence. Evelyn then tells him about a rebel organization that wants to leave the city. They call themselves the Allegiant. She wants them under control, and Tobias wonders about her methods of controlling them. Tobias volunteers to find out who they are.

Tris takes a nap to help pass the time before she meets Tobias. As she walks to the park, she notices that summer is ending. Tris sees Tobias dressed in mixed faction colors. He tells her Evelyn released Christina and Cara without questioning them and that he is taking Tris on a date.

The couple walks to a large metal structure built over a stage. They climb up to where two metal plates meet. Tobias pours them a drink, and they discuss why Tris left Tobias to work with Marcus. Tris says she wants to be honest with Tobias but can’t if he won’t trust her or is condescending to her. She asks for his patience and kindness. They agree not to tell any more lies. Tris apologizes for lying to him, and Tobias apologizes for not trusting her.
