Chapter 9 Summary: “Sydney/Ridge”

As the group ventures out for the night, Sydney feels jealousy over Maggie and Ridge’s relationship. She begins to cry. Warren comforts her, and Sydney notices Ridge’s jealousy. Two hours later, Sydney and Ridge find themselves alone in a booth while Warren and Maggie dance. Sydney asks Ridge why Maggie talks while Ridge does not. Ridge explains that Maggie has only mild hearing loss and divulges that he stopped speaking at the age of nine. After Sydney urges him to explain, Ridge shares that his parents had substance use disorders and never learned to sign using American Sign Language (ASL). Ridge taught Brennan how to sign so they could communicate. Forced to verbalize with his parents, Ridge stopped speaking after his father continually shamed him for his voice and once hit Brennan to make Ridge stop speaking. Saddened for him, Sydney begins to cry.

Drunk, Maggie and Warren return to the booth. Ridge and Sydney help Maggie and Warren out of the club. As Ridge helps him into the car, Warren says that Ridge likes Sydney. Ridge and Sydney share an intimate moment when he touches her back and helps her into the car.
