Mrs. Salt calls Wonka a liar, he insults her, and tells Mr. Salt to shut up when he defends Mrs. Salt. The OL’s were painting faces on the square candies. Mr. Wonka unlocked the door and all the candies looked “round” to see who opened the door. Charlie and Grandpa Joe agree that Wonka was telling the truth about the candies.

Veruca runs into the room and the squirrels attack, decide she’s a bad nut, and throw her down the garbage shoot.

Chapter 25: The Great Glass Elevator Mr. Wonka mentions that he seems to be losing all the children, but was sure they would be fine. They take the elevator because Mike mentions that he’s tired and wants to watch TV. The elevator ride was more like a rollercoaster ride and they go to the TELEVISION ROOM.

Chapter 26: The Television-Chocolate Room Mr. Wonka tells the group how he wants to share chocolate with everyone through the TV. He demonstrated by showing a Wonka bar transported by TV. Grandpa Joe was impressed. Mr. Wonka explains that it is quite dangerous to send things through the TV.
