The two most significant things that happened in this part of Cuckoo's Nest are one Chief decides to speak, and two McMurphy's fishing trip. These two events added some spice to these otherwise boring characters. Chief opens up to McMurphy at night when they are supposed to be sleeping. Once he starts, Chief finds it difficult to stop talking almost getting caught by one of the black boys when he comes around to figure out Chief's chewing gum mystery. The fishing trip seems to give the men their metaphorical balls back as they become master of their own domains rather than submitting to Nurse Ratched's orders.
In the beginning of the trip there was a few mishaps, but with the help of Doctor Spivey it went away. There were a few more complications which McMuphy's wit got them out of, and soon enough they were on the sea fishing, drinking beers, and enjoying the company of each other. They even seemed normal without Nurse Ratched there putting them down all the time.
The characters further develop, especially Chief Bromden, as the plot progresses. The rest of the group show a sign of some relative independence. Regardless of the change, they all return to the ward with even Doctor Spivey enjoying himself.
