Noticing the car is low on gas, Tom pulls into Wilson's station where he finds Wilson visibly unwell. Tom, it turns out, has been suspicious of Gatsby all along and has had him investigated. He retrieves a bottle of whiskey and the group starts out - Tom, Jordan, and Nick driving Gatsby's car, and Gatsby and Daisy in Tom's. Later, after Daisy suggests they go to town, Tom witnesses a soft glance that passes between Daisy and Gatsby and can no longer deny the two of them are having an affair.Įnraged by what he has just learned, Tom agrees they should go to the city. While all five are at the Buchanans' house, Tom leaves the room to speak with his mistress on the phone and Daisy boldly kisses Gatsby, declaring her love for him. The day, it turns out, is unbearably hot, making all the participants in the luncheon - Daisy, Gatsby, Nick, Jordan, and Tom - even more uncomfortable than expected. When Gatsby comes, at Daisy's request, to invite him to lunch at her house the next day, Nick learns that Gatsby replaced the servants with "some people Wolfshiem wanted to do something for" - he feared they would leak information about he and Daisy. As the curiosity surrounding Gatsby peaks, the routine Saturday parties abruptly cease.
