Johnsy showed no interest in the soup that Sue bought her. Sue told Johnsy not to look out of the window and let her finish that painting so that she could get both of them some money. Johnsy wanted to die peacefully while watching the last leaf fall.
Sue went to Behrman, who lived on the ground floor. She asks Sue if Johnsy was stupid. Behrman came to see Johnsy, and she was ill as always. He returned to his room. The next Johnsy woke up and saw the leaf, and it was green and healthy. Johnsy was excited and told Sue to check the leaf as it was intact.
