Summary

First we find out why Bokononism is banned on San Lorenzo and why Bokonon himself is wanted by the government. It turns out that he and McCabe planned it so that way they could add some zest to the peoples’ lives. They made fake attempts to catch Bokonon and decided that the hook would be their form of punishment. When Jonah is staying at Frank’s house with Angela, Newt, and Julian Castle, Frank is eager to tell him about his fate or “zah-mah-ki-bo”. Apparently, since Papa Monzana just died of cancer Frank wants Jonah to become the new present of San Lorenzo so they can work together. And, Jonah now has the opportunity to marry Mona. <3
