Although poorly educated and gullible, Amy Bates firmly believes that Pattie is able to understand what is being said in her presence, whereas Tom Bates has given up all hope of her recovery. In fact, judging from the sounds she makes, Pattie seems to realise what is going on around her, but Tom Bates is beyond noticing., 1h27

Il s'agit, pour tout résumer, de ' couper le nerf de l'émotion '. Durieux renaît à la vie, une vie toute rose dont il ne perçoit définitivement plus la moindre grisaille. Un monstre est né autour duquel le malheur fait la ronde. On apprend bientôt que les " flashés " sont assez pour former une communauté, leur bonheur radieux fait des envieux. Les postulants sont désormais innombrables. Valois mesure l'horreur de son invention. Lâchement, et pour ne pas se désavouer, il choisit de se flasher aussi. Une forme de suicide puisque le Dr Valois connaît les effets desastreux de son traitement. L'épouse de Durieux devait y passer à son tour, mais dans un premier temps refusera : "je ne veux pas être heureuse". Durieux, victime d'un accident,une chute dans l’escalier alors qu’il est repoussé par Jeanne , ne quittera plus son fauteuil roulant ultra perfectionné mais roulera mieux encore leur ménage à trois dans une félicité immuable, la tête vide de toute angoisse, de tout doute, de toute sensibilité.À la demande d’Alain accidenté et paralysé, Jeanne accepte finalement que Pierre s’occupe d’elle ,ce qui sous entend entre autre d'être flashée. Le Dr Valois acceptera les honneurs , la légion d’honneur, ainsi que son cobaye Alain paralysé, l'ordre national du mérite, sans révéler que Pierre est devenu un monstre insensible et les singes sujets de ses expériences, tout à coup agressifs.
