After exiting their cab early due to his mother's car sickness, the pair enter the Metropolitan Museum of Art to escape an unexpected rainfall. In the museum, Theo catches sight of a young girl, Pippa, and her elderly guardian. Intrigued by the girl, Theo declines to accompany his mother back into the gallery. Shortly after, a series of bombs are detonated in the museum. In the rubble, Theo comes to and notices the elderly man (Welty Blackwell) he saw earlier with Pippa. The disoriented pair converse, and Welty urges Theo to retrieve famous painting The Goldfinch laying nearby, which he does to placate the distressed man. Welty gives Theo a ring off of his finger, along with vague instructions toward Hobart and Blackwell, before succumbing to his injuries. After learning that his mother was killed in the Museum bombing, Theo goes to stay with the Barbours, the family of his elementary school friend Andy. The Barbours take Theo in without question. During his stay with the Barbours, Theo takes the time to look up Hobart and Blackwell and travels across the town to the Village with Welty’s ring. Upon arrival, Theo meets James Hobart (Hobie), Welty's business partner in the antique shop they ran together. He also discovers that Pippa, the girl from the museum, survived the blast and is recovering in the townhouse above the shop. Theo begins to help Hobie in the shop and gets to know Pippa. Just as he is starting to emerge from his grief and settle into life with the Barbours, however, Theo's father unexpectedly reenters to take him to Vegas where he lives with his girlfriend, Xandra. Theo retrieves the stolen Goldfinch painting from his old apartment just in time to be ushered out West. Shortly after arriving in Las Vegas Theo begins school, where he meets Boris Pavlikovsky. The pair quickly become inseparable, spending long periods of time at one another's houses, stealing food from local supermarkets together, and eventually beginning to experiment with drugs and alcohol. At some point, during a drunken stupor, Theo reveals to Boris that he is in possession of the stolen Goldfinch painting. Theo is forced to call his mother's lawyer and attempt to withdraw a large sum of money under the guise of using it to attend private school. When the attempt is unsuccessful, Larry becomes extremely distressed and disappears. Later, while Theo and Boris are trying out psychedelics together, they are informed that Theo's father has passed away in a car accident. Worried about his future and unwilling to fall into State Care, Theo packs his things, raids Xandra's room, takes her dog, Popper, and leaves Vegas, and heads back to New York. Theo arrives on the steps to Hobie's shop, Hobie willingly takes him in. Theo adjusts well to life in the shop and eventually starts to mind the shop. Although he begins with simply marking up prices, Theo quickly begins to dig himself deep into the world of forgeries, passing off Hobie's restorations and "changelings" as authentic original pieces of antique furniture without Hobie's knowledge. The man he had sold one of Hobie's "changeling" pieces of furniture passed of for a genuine and claims he knows about Theo's connection to the Goldfinch (which Theo believes he has safely kept in a storage unit) goes in search of more opioids. When he strikes out at a bar, he leaves, only to be followed out by Boris. The pair reconnect over an evening of drinks and drugs, during which Boris reveals that he had stolen the painting from Theo years ago in Vegas, and recently lost it in a Miami drug deal where he had been using the painting as collateral."]

Grabbing his book Theo opens it to where he left off and begins to read. As the bell above the door sounds Theo looks up over his book and instantly smiles when he sees you enter and begin making your way to where he is.
