Megan proceeds with the trocheeotomy, but luckily it does not have the intended effect. Though the previous trochees have been forcefully and unkindly removed, Jill immediately generates new ones: "BAN-jo," "TUR-tle," "JET-pack," "FER-ret," and so on. The correct way of removing the fixation would be to alter {{w|mesolimbic pathway}}. Megan, not realizing this, succumbs to attempting to removing her trochee fixation via cranially applied brick. Depending on how hard Jill is hit with the brick she may have memory loss and potentially forget all the trochees she knows, but if this method is carried out, she will have significant brain damage and will likely start fixating on trochees that she hears. | Megan proceeds with the trocheeotomy, but luckily it does not have the intended effect.
