Knox went to Chris's party, he had way too much to drink, Chris fell asleep on couch next to Knox, he made the mistake of touching her hair and kissing her on the forehead. This was noticed by one of Chris's boyfriends' friends and of course he brought it to his attention. Knox was roughed up by Chris's boyfriend. It did not discourage him from perusing love.
Charlie brought some girls to cave and made a motion that they campaign to have girls at the school. This bold behavior was seen as very insubordinate. There was a meeting held by headmaster, and board, they initiated an investigation into who was responsible for the dead poets society and wanted every name in the group. The first boy confronted was Dalton. The board was convinced that this behavior was considered non-compliant, and a result of Keating's teachings.
The headmaster then met with Mr. Keating, encouraging him to stick to more traditional ways of teaching. Mr. Keating had a talk with the boys asking them to be cautious.
Neil's dad finds out he is acting, and is very upset. Neil try's to convince his dad to let him continue.
His dad insist he quit now. There was no negotiating with him. Neil visits Mr. Keating. Mr. Keating encourages him to talk to his dad and to tell him how he truly feels about acting. The next day in class Neil lies and tells Mr. Keating he talked to his dad and he was not happy about his choice to act, but will allow Neil to continue.
Knox goes to Chris's school and brings her flowers and reads her a poem he wrote, in front of the whole class. She was embarrassed. The next day the boys are on their way to a school play and Chris shows up at the school to let Knox know she does not feel the same way about him, he convinces her to spend the evening with him and if she still does not like him by the end of the night he will leave her alone. She agrees.
Neil's father walked in during the school play, and unexpected visit. His father was not very happy. His father thinks that he is ruining his life. His Dad takes him home and informs him they are making him withdraw from Welton and are enrolling him in a military school and then on to Harvard. Neil is extremely upset about this and takes his own life. The boys take Neil's death very hard but Todd takes it the worse, Mr. Keating discovers that the boys have started meeting as the dead poets society, starts to weep, maybe feeling some sort of guilt.
Cameron was the first to talk to the board, and head master. They want to put the blame on Mr. Keating. In a confrontation with Charlie and Cameron it got very intense and Charlie punched Cameron, Charlie was suspended. The boys were coerced into signing a statement implying that Mr. Keating was the one who encouraged them to meet as the Dead Poets Society, and talked Neil into pursuing his dream of acting, against his fathers wishes.
Mr. Keating was fired and headmaster took over the class. He ask the students to read out of the introduction. At this moment there is a knock at the door, it is Mr. Keating, stopping by to pick up some personal items. The boys informed him that the pages were previously ripped out. Todd announces that it was not their fault, they made us sign the false statement. Mr. keating said "I Know". All the boys stood on their desk, one by one, starting with Todd, and called to Mr. Keating "Oh Captain my Captain".
