Tom finds that his entire life is crumbling in this chapter. His intuition tells him that his wife has been having an affair, and he's pretty sure it is with Gatsby. He then becomes aware that his mistress, someone whom he genuinely loves, is moving away with her husband. Now we see that the two loves of his life are slipping from his grasp in his fall from grace.
A three-way conflict erupts between Gatsby and the Buchanans after Tom confronts Gatsby, yet again, in regards to his relationship with Daisy. Gatsby insists that Daisy should tell Tom that she never loved him, and then tells Tom so, causing Tom to yell viciously at them both. Daisy still refuses to say that she never loved Tom, after seemingly wanting to leave him, then guiltily, sadly admits that she does love him. This causes Gatsby to be angered.
Daisy leaves, as Gatsby chases after her. They drive home in the cooling twilight. They hit down Mr. Buchanan's mistress; we are then lead to believe that it was Gatsby who drove down Myrtle Wilson, but it was really Daisy. This signifies the extent to which Gatsby is in love with Daisy
