Scoob begins to miss his life at home, thinking about Shenice and his dad. However, G’ma pulls him from his thoughts, and he sees that she’s holding the Green Book, which he’d last stored up in his bunk. He finds it odd that she was up there or looking through his bag, which she usually never does without his permission.
When they exit the vehicle, they stop at a marquee, and she tells him to look up Meridian, Mississippi. On the page, he finds the listening for Hotel E.F. Young Jr. G’ma then gives him a photo of G’pop standing beneath the very same marquee. She adds that it’s the last photo she took of him, remembering that “the last good night he and I ever had together was inside of that hotel” (117).
She also talks about how it was difficult for her and G’pop to be together. Neither white nor Black people were very comfortable with the idea, which is why they spent most of the trip in an RV. At the hotel, the desk manager hadn’t wanted to give them a room. She alludes to how, at the time, she’d begun to realize that they weren’t going to make it to Mexico but doesn’t explain why.
