In this chapter George spills out the truth to Slim, about why they had to run away from Weeds. They had to run away because Lennie was accused of raping a woman, but he just touched her "soft" dress. George relied on Slim, a very trustworthy person to keep it a secret.
Candy joins in on George and Lennie's impossible dream of owning a little piece of land. Candy has quite a bit of money saved up, and once he gets fired he'll have no where else to go, so he chose to join in.
The fight between Curley and Lennie also occurred in this chapter. Lennie had no idea what he was doing. it seemed like he was waiting for instructions from George. But when George did tell Lennie to fight back Lennie absolutely crushed Curley's hand (not the one full of Vaseline for his wife)!
In this chapter there wasn't any racist comments but Crooks seems invisible in this novel. No one hangs out with him because he is African-american.
