girls in pants: The Third Summer of the Sisterhood
It is the girls last summer before college and they all find themselves in
different, but challenging situations. They all struggle with their identities,
love, and relationships.
Lena
Lena is taking a figure drawing class at an art school, despite her parents'
advice. However, when her father comes into the class and sees her drawing
a nude model, he forbids her from taking the class. Lena tries to fund the
class herself, but is caught by her father, who then announces that he will
not pay for Lena to go to RISD.
Shocked by her father's decision, Lena goes to the class's instructor, Annik
Marchand, who advises Lena to try for a scholarship. Lena makes a portfolio
of drawings of her family, as well as Paul Rodman, who comes to stay with Carmen
and ends up visiting and posing for Lena.
At the end of the summer, Lena mails in her portfolio, and receives word that
she has gotten the scholarship. She tells her father, who allows her to attend
art school. Now, her relationship with her father is better than ever.
Tibby
When Brian and Tibby go to the senior party together, and Tibby decides to
leave with Brian after a dance to go the places they used to hang out. She
tries the 7-11, but finally decides on a park where Brian finally kisses her
and tells his feelings to Tibby. The next morning, forgetting that her little
sister Katherine has been wanting to get an apple from the tree outside her
bedroom window, she leaves her bedroom window open, and Katherine falls out
of it in an attempt to pick the apples from the tree. Tibby is thrown into
depression, concerned for Katherine and blaming herself for the accident because
the window Katherine fell out of was hers. She also begins avoiding Brian,
feeling that the accident wouldn't have happened if she hadn't been thinking
about him.
Tibby eventually realizes that she can't avoid her problems, and decides to
begin taking chances again. Shortly afterward, when Carmen's mother, Christina,
goes into labor, Tibby becomes Christina's unwilling labor partner, and helps
Christina to be brave enough to have the baby. She later becomes the baby's
godmother.
After helping Christina, Tibby finds Brian. The two strip their clothes before
jumping over the fence and into the city pool, together, becoming a couple.
Bridget
Bridget goes to soccer camp in Pennsylvania and is shocked to discover that
one of her fellow coaches is none other than Eric Richman. She finds her feelings
for him reawakening, but is stunned by the discovery that he has a girlfriend,
Kaya. Bridget plans to begin avoiding Eric, but her plan is shot down when
she and Eric are made partners, causing them to see each other constantly.
Not wanting to upset Eric, Bridget selflessly puts her feelings aside and
restrains herself to being Eric’s friend while respecting the relationship
between Eric and Kaya. The two develop a friendship despite Bridget’s
uncertainties.
Later, Bridget comes down with a fever, and Eric finds her in her cabin very
ill. Eric carries her to his cabin and he takes care of her. They fall asleep
together, and Bridget wakes up to find Eric holding her. Feeling guilty, she
tries to break the hold quietly, but her attempts wake up Eric. Bridget feels
confused and betrayed when he leaves the camp for an unknown reason, and decides
that she won’t hope for his attention anymore. As much as she prided
herself on making this summer with Eric different from the first one (where
she went after him and had to have him), it began to feel the same because
once again she is left wondering why he left her. She trains her soccer team
hard, and they go on to defeat Eric’s in the championship.
Bridget later questions Eric about his leaving, and Eric reveals that he returned
to New York to break up with his girlfriend due to his feelings for Bridget.
At first, Bridget asks Eric if he gets closer to her just to leave her, but
he lets her know otherwise. He tells her that he thinks they were always meant
to be. Afterwards, they become a couple.
Carmen
Carmen feels stressed out over her mother’s pregnancy and her job watching
Lena’s grandmother, Valia, who has become cranky and sullen ever since
she was forced to move to the United States following the death of her husband.
Carmen also begins to feel that her leaving for college will leave her unable
to return home, and decides to attend the University of Maryland instead of
Williams so that she can stay home and retain a part of her old life.
While taking Valia to the hospital one day, Carmen meets Win Sawyer, a college
student who volunteers at the hospital. He begins to develop feelings for her,
and she for him, but she fears that he only likes her because he assumes that
she is a kind and selfless person, and is afraid of telling him the truth.
When Carmen’s mother goes into labor four weeks early, Carmen enlists
Tibby to stay with her mother, and together with Win Sawyer heads off to find
David, Christina's husband, who is out of town. Together, Tibby and Christina
do it and she delivers a baby boy which Carmen names Ryan. After the baby is
born, Win and Carmen finally kiss, and leave the hospital hand in hand.
