Learning that she won’t be allowed to participate in the rebel attack on the Capitol, Katniss storms into a war meeting in the command center and demands that she be allowed to participate in the attack. Coin tells her that she has three weeks to train, after which the decision of Katniss’ participation in the attack will be left to the Assignment Board. Johanna wants to train too.They train together with the beggin.

Haymitch tells Katniss that Peeta is improving and even seems like himself at times; he wants to see her.Peeta is in restraints during their meeting, his expression one of wariness and suspicion. He says some hurtful things n Katniss responds harshly. She finds herself strangely angry with Peeta and fights to control herself. It didnt end up well.

Plutarch talks with Katniss and tells her that Finnick and Annie are getting married n going to be televised or something like that.The wedding is a big thing in 13 since they don't do any holidays or anything fun/special so Plutarch and Coin combine coins ritual and Plutarch Capitol culture with D4 things to create a great wedding.(Katniss lets Annie borrow one of her dresses that Cinna designed for the press tour)

Katniss wakes up with her bruised ribs in 13, then Johana comes to take some of Katniss' morphine since they are cutting her supply short. Johana and Katniss talk, Johana basically tells Katniss why she hates her (jealousy and an act that wasn’t an act). Then Gale visits Katniss, they talk, and he tells her that the rebels now have D2. Katniss starts moving and rumors of her death go around (which is good).

Katniss confronts everyone and ask for the rebels to stop the fire, that’s when one of the guys from the nut holds a gun to Katniss asking her to give him one reason not to shot her, and she can’t come up with one reason, instead she flips it to reminding everyone who the real enemy is, that all of this is part of the capitol games. Then Katniss gets shot. they take her to back to 13

While they were waiting for anybody to come out of the nut, Haymitch tells Katniss that Peeta saw the propo of Katniss signing the hanging tree (that propo never come out) and he had a good reaction, he remembered Katniss dad singing the same song and Its the first memory linked to her that doesn’t make Peeta react badly.the people inside the nut starting to come out in the middle of Katniss speech,

Rebels will station themselves in the square to take any survivors captive. So I understand gale for wanting to do tit for tat. But these are life of people, some innocent and others not so much, but either way his plan worked and even tho the avalanche brought memories of Katniss dad dead’s to her, the plan actually worked.

Gale suggests they trap the enemy inside,leaving them w/o supplies, as a means to gaining control of it. Katniss realizes what Gale’s true intention is:He wants to build a death trap. After a heated debate, the decision is made to bomb the Nut and trigger an avalanche, thereby blocking all the exits. However, the train tunnel from the mountain to the district’s city square will be left open, allowing people to escape

Gale and Katniss talk while they pluck some goose and while they talk gale confess that if peeta keeps going the way its going he would never get a chance to be with katniss. When they go back to get more game, gale kisses Katniss. He’s always judging katniss ugh. Lyme, a commander in District 2, gives the brains and Katniss a virtual tour of the Nut; they discuss various strategies for taking the Nut.

Katniss is in D2 (two weeks has passed), where she feels better and with a little more freedom. No schedule, she’s allowed to hunt as long as its close by and with a a guard, she also has to move often for safety reasons as the “mockingjay”. There’s an impenetrable mountain — formerly used as a mine and nicknamed the Nut — serves as the main hub of the Capitol’s military. The "brains" arrived and with them Gale came.
