The members taunt the African-American aides by making wisecracks and breaking wind. All is jovial until the aide Washington begins to harass Rub-a-Dub George, who is obsessed with cleanliness but never uses soap.
As George becomes more upset at Washington's claims that he is infested with bugs, McMurphy steps in to defend George. Calling Washington several negative sexual and racial epithets, McMurphy shoves Washington away from George. Washington, still angry with McMurphy for bloodying his nose in the basketball game, strikes him. Noting that McMurphy's voice reveals a "helpless, cornered despair," Chief relates the details of the ensuing fight. Nurse Ratched entertains the idea of letting the men watch a baseball game on TV and takes it to a vote.
The next day, when McMurphy goes over to the TV to watch baseball, she turns the TV off so that he has to watch a blank screen. At the staff meeting, Nurse Ratched is silent when everybody discusses whether to send McMurphy up to the Disturbed Ward.

At midnight, Mr. Candy arrives with Sandy, the whore who had skipped the fishing trip. While Candy gives Mr. Turkle wine, McMurphy attempts to pick the lock to the drug room. Harding gets pills for Sefelt and imitates a religious ceremony, sprinkling them over Sefelt and Sandy. Turkle unlocks the seclusion room for Billy and Candy.
Harding has a plan to tie up Turkle and make it look like McMurphy had tied him up and taken his keys. This plan, according to Harding, would keep the other men out of trouble, keep Turkle his job, and get McMurphy off the ward. McMurphy asks why Harding does not leave, and he responds that he is not ready. He claims that he is guilty and has indulged in certain practices society considers shameful.
The black boys find him when they arrive at six-thirty that morning. Chief Bromden realizes that what happened that night was inevitable, even if Mr. Turkle had gotten McMurphy and the two girls off the ward as planned. The black boys herd all the inmates into the day room, Chronics and Acutes alike.
Everyone is still in pajamas. Turkle resigns and leaves with Sandy. Harding tells McMurphy to run away with them, but McMurphy refuses. The boys take roll in reverse alphabetical order to throw people off. Nurse Ratched does a room check to find him and reaches the Seclusion Room.
