Chapter 25 Summary

The Keepers are stunned by Minho’s recommendation, and stare at him in silence. Gally breaks the silence by declaring the recommendation absurd, which prompts the Keepers to argue about Minho’s suggestion until Newt is finally able to calm everyone down again. He threatens to disband the Council and start with all new people if the Keepers do not remain civil, and then asks Minho to explain his proposal. Though exhausted, Minho adamantly defends his recommendation, saying that none of the Keepers have even been in the Maze besides Newt and himself. Gally interrupts, saying that he has been inside the Maze, but Minho cuts him off and yells at him. He calls Gally a hypocrite, because when he entered the Maze he broke the same rule that Thomas did, and which he is now trying to punish Thomas for.

Minho continues, saying that when the two were inside the Maze, he got scared and ran away, but Thomas remained calm and risked his own life to protect Alby, even though he had heard all of the terrible stories about the Maze.
