Katniss and Peeta have one last interview, where Katniss has to pretend more to be in love with Peeta. After the interview they are on the train heading home, where Haymitch mentions cameras. This makes Peeta confused and we see that the entire time, he has not been faking a single thing. He then realizes Katniss has been faking everything and now seems expressionless. They step out of the station when the book ends.

Once lifted into the aircraft, Peeta is immediately worked on by doctors while Katniss screams his name. After a few weeks, she's been stuck in a hospital and she saw that her body has been worked on a lot to look extremely clean and like she was never in the games to begin with. She realizes bc of threatening to die, the capitol is really mad. To be safe she has to be in love with Peeta still to look convincing.

When it's just Katniss, Peeta, and Cato left, the gamemakers choose to release wild mutated wolfdogs. These dogs end up tearing up Cato to a point where he is unrecognizable but not dead yet. When Katniss finishes him off, it's announced that there will still only be one winner. Peeta and Katniss decide to both die via poisonous berries, but last second the gamemaker shouts to them, saying that they both won.

Katniss has found Peeta and for a while his leg was badly injured, leaving him unable to walk. Peeta acted as if he was in love and Katniss realized they still need to pretend to be a couple in order to be supported by people outside the games. After Rue died too Katniss had a resolve to win the games with Peeta. Eventually Peeta's leg was able to get healed and they now continue to act in love, it can even feel real

A lot has happened in the games, and at some point Katniss was being staked out while she was on top of a tree, but she cut down a beehive and extremely deadly wasps drove the enemies away. She was finally able to get her hands on a bow and arrows too. Katniss decided to team up with Rue because she likes her and because Rue is really smart with plants and she's really fast.

All the tributes are going to be interviewed and Katniss has a lot to work on. She's pretty quiet and seems standoffish and also doesn't know manners. When it comes to the actual interview she does know how to be polite but it isn't exceptional. But when it's Peeta's turn he ends up lying and saying he has a crush on Katniss. The entire audience is now fans of them and they're marketed as star crossed lovers.
