BNW Chpt 6

After Lenina gets Bernard to go to the wrestling match, he acts upset and refuses to take soma from Lenina. On the way back, he stops his helicopter over a channel and tells Lenina how the water makes him feel like an individual, but Lenina pleads to him to leave. Sooner than later, they end up taking soma and having sex.
The next day, Bernard is in his feels and whines to Lenina that he didn't want to have sex, and he'd rather had acted more mature. Afterwards, he goes to the Director to ask for permission to travel to the Reservation. Expecting the Director to say no, Bernard is approved to travel by the Director and is told that he went 20 years prior with a female. The female was lost as the Director explains but he realizes he's exposing too much of himself and starts criticizing Bernard for being awkward and even threatens to exile him. Bernard leaves feeling proud for being considered a rebel.

John hates Popé so he attempts to kill him while he's sleeping with Linda and all Popé does is credit his bravery.
