At a point Tommy’s tantrums were gone. He told to Kathy that it came because something that Mr. Lucy said, one of the guardians. She said: ‘it is idiot to punish you for something you don’t can.’ When Lucy told him this, she was shaking because she was so furious, deep inside. She also said that the students aren’t enough been taught about there future.

Later came the tantrums from Tommy sometimes back. Tommy told Kathy that Lucy said to him: ‘that it wasn’t right and that art was really important. There was no excuse for that his art being so rubbish. Art is not only important for evidence, but also for your own sake.’

There came more and more strange things from Lucy and at a moment she was fired.

There were also strange things with Madame. It seems she was afraid of the students. So the group from Kathy make a plan. The children walked unexpted near her, they sees that she really was afraid of them. But she was afraid of the students, like people are afraid of spiders.

A couple of months later, when Kathy dance on a song with a invisible baby, Madame came inside. When Kathy saw her, she was crying.

After Hailsham eight of the students were going to the Cottage. This was a home from a lot of students from other schools. Here became Ruth really mean and used sometimes the secrets from Kathy. There are 2 older students, Rodney and Chrissie. Ruth copied a lot of the students and ignore Kathy and Tommy when she are with those two.

At a moment Rodney claimed he saw Ruth ‘possible’. So they were going with five to Norfolk. Ruth was again really mean at Kathy. When they came at Norfolk, they first go to a café. Rodney and Chrissie asked the three Hailshamstudents, if they know about deferrals from the donations if there is real love. Ruth said that she knew, but they didn’t talk so much at Hailsham. Tommy denied this and said he never heard about deferrals. Ruth said that Tommy wasn’t a real Hailsham student. They let him always outside of secrets.

Then they go to the office were maybe the possible from Ruth was. But when they sees the woman, and follow her, was the conclusion that she wasn’t the original.

Ruth was angry and she was going with Chrissie and Rodney to a friend. Kathy didn’t want to come and Tommy stayed with Kathy. Ruth was furious about that. Tommy said that he was seeking the tape from Kathy, a really important tape, which she lost at Hailsham. So they both seek the tape. They were going to second-hand shops. Kathy find the tape. Tommy was a bit sad, because he didn’t find the tape, but he paid the tape and they went outside.

Tommy had a theory why Madame wanted the art from the students. With the art could you see, if a couple really loves each other. If the art is the same, than you are soul mates. Then Ruth, Chrissie and Rodney showed up and they went to the Cottage.

When they were back on the Cottage, they doesn’t speak about the trip to Norfolk. A couple months later, when Kathy’s boyfriend left for his training, were Ruth and Kathy laughing about Lenny. Then Ruth suddenly stop laughing and have the tape in her hand. Kathy explain everything and Ruth laugh and putted it away. Then they were laughing about Lenny, then about Tommy and his drawings.

Later on, when they were outside, Tommy told Ruth his theory about the art. Kathy walked to the two and Ruth was very angry, because Tommy told it first to Kathy. Then Ruth laughs and said that is was funny, because Tommy thought he could real showed his drawings to Madame. The drawings were awful Ruth said and she said that Kathy agree with that.

The friendship was really broken, but they acted that it wasn’t broken. At a moment Ruth told Kathy that if she and Tommy ever split up, Kathy never can get Tommy. Tommy saw her if a very good friend and Tommy never wanted her because her sexual history.

Not long after that, Kathy decided she wanted to be a carer.

Kathy hadn’t seen Ruth and Tommy for ten years. In that ten years, Hailsham closed. The first donation from Ruth goes very badly. Ruth health is very weak and she knows that she dies by the next donation. Kathy become the carer from Ruth.

Ruth wanted one time to make a trip, with Kathy and Tommy. Ruth said, during the trip, that she was sorry about that she hold Kathy and Tommy apart. She always knew that Tommy and Kathy were the real couple and loves each other. She gives the address from Madame to Kathy and Tommy and said that they must go to Madame and ask her for the deferrals.

After the trip Ruth makes her second donation and she dies.

Then Kathy becomes the carer from Tommy. And they begin a relationship. They were going to the address from Madame, with the drawings from Tommy. When they were at the house from Madame, they saw Madame and Miss Emily, the old headguardians from Hailsham. They came inside and asked the two for the deferrals. The two said that there were never deferrals, they hadn’t the power to give that and they never have that power. They said that Hailsham was an experiment, to give clones a humane treatment. What wasn’t at other institutions. With the art, they want to prove that clones are similar to people. With the art they want to prove that clones have a soul.

When they were back, Tommy knows that the fourth donations his last donation is. He confronted Kathy, because she worked as a carer. Kathy quit to be the carer from Tommy and they never sees each other. Tommy dies when he has the donation.

The book ends that Kathy looks at a field from Norfolk. She imagines that Tommy walks to her waves and maybe says something. Then Kathy get in her car and drive away.
