After they learn that they have both won the Games, Katniss and Peeta use the lake’s water to swoosh out all the berry remnants from their mouth. Luckily, neither one of them swallowed any of the berries.
Soon, a hovercraft appears and picks them up. When it brings them inside, Peeta passes out from blood loss. Eventually, Peeta is brought to doctors who begin to operate on him. Katniss is so conditioned to respond to threats that she tries to save Peeta from the doctors, but she is quickly separated from him. She must watch him being operated on from behind a glass wall.
Back at the Training Center, Peeta is taken away and Katniss is subdued with a needle that puts her to sleep. She wakes up in a hospital-type room. Her wounds have been well taken care of, including her left ear which is back in working condition. She learns from the Avox girl that Peeta has survived.
Katniss goes through a few days of recovery. She is hooked up to tubes and restrained to a bed. Finally, one day, she awakens to find that she is completely healed of every scar that ever plagued her and she’s free of her bed restraint. An outfit has been left for her.
She gets dressed and walks out to find her way to her awaiting crew. She runs first to Haymitch who gives her a hug. Effie pats her and Cinna also gives her a hug. Cinna then takes her to an elevator and to a dining room where she eats. Then she is prepped for her on-air reunion with Peeta. A team of people, a prep-team, work on her appearance, and then Cinna presents her with a yellow dress. Cinna has dressed her up to look sophisticated. Cinna’s decision to dress her up in this manner is surely calculated. Katniss knows that Cinna is keeping something from her.
Before her reunion with Peeta, Haymitch gives Katniss a hug and he whispers something in her ear. He lets her know how upset the Capitol is with her and the way she concluded the Games. She forced them to declare two victors, making the Capitol look like fools. Haymitch tells Katniss to tell the world that her reason for doing what she did was because she is in love with Peeta. She must convince everybody that her actions were not ones of reason, but actions done under the influence of love. If she fails to convince the Capitol of her “feelings,” they might punish her and they might even punish her family too. The Capitol must make it look like it was their intention for the love-story scheme to have played out exactly as it did. The Capitol doesn’t the world to know that it was Katniss’ surprise actions that helped determine the end of the Hunger Games.
