We cut to Jerry, who is in Brother Leon's homeroom. He has to go to Room Nineteen, Brother Eugene's classroom, and unscrew all the screws in all the furniture, so that when you touch it, everything falls apart. Next, The Goober is getting his assignment from The Vigils. Archie is a bit reluctant, but agrees to help him make the sale a success. Soon, Archie learns that Brother Leon, the sadistic teacher, has ordered twice as many chocolates as last year, and he wants Archie and the Vigils to make sure they get sold as part of the school fundraiser. Obie protests, saying that Jerry's mom died only last spring they should leave him alone. Jerry, Archie decides, will get an assignment that has to do with chocolates. They decide that Roland Goubert, The Goober, will be given an "assignment" (2.16) having to do with Brother Eugene's classroom. Archie (the mastermind) and Obie (one of his thugs) are in the bleachers, picking their newest victims. Now we meet some villains, Archie Costello and Obie, members of Trinity's secret society, The Vigils. After practice, Jerry muses about the recent death of his mother. The coach wants to see how much he can handle. His friend, The Goober, has already warned him to show no fear. He's a freshman at Trinity High School, and wants to make quarterback. Not a literal one, just normal football practice abuse. We find him on the football field, taking a beating. Meet Jerry Renault, the hero of The Chocolate War.
