The group gossips about Jay Gatsby: Catherine claims that he is somehow related to Kaiser Wilhelm, the much-despised ruler of Germany during World War I. There, in the flat in which Tom maintains his affair, they have a shrill, vulgar party with Myrtle's sister, Catherine, and a repulsive couple named McKee. Tom forces both Myrtle and Nick to accompany him to the city. Wilson's wife, Myrtle, is the woman with whom Tom has been having an affair.
Tom Buchanan takes Nick to George Wilson's garage, which lies at the edge of the valley of ashes. Eckleburg, an optometrist whose practice has long since ended.
A pair of enormous eyes broods over the valley from a large, decaying billboard.
The second chapter begins with a description of the valley of ashes, a dismal, barren wasteland halfway between West Egg and New York.
