Once they embark on their tour of the Reservation, Lenina is generally disgusted by what she sees. When Bernard freaks out over his impending banishment, Lenina convinces him to take soma. While the Warden tells them what they need to know, Lenina is distracted due to her breakfast of soma. Lenina flies with Bernard to the Reservation. When she tells all this to Fanny, Lenina concludes that she really does like Bernard. Lenina is hurt, certain that he must have found her unattractive. All is not well the next day, Bernard expresses regret that they had sex. Of course, she thinks all is well when they go to bed together. She's confused by his refusal to take soma and his insistence at showing her the ocean, which she finds to be awful. On their first date, Lenina tries to deal with the fact that Bernard doesn't want to be around people. She discusses it (in bed) with Henry, who reveals that Bernard's mind didn't take too well to conditioning. Lenina decides that Bernard is definitely odd, but she'd still like to go on this holiday to the Savage Reservation with him.

Afterward they have dinner, soma, dancing, and sex. In the helicopter, Lenina plays the part of a perfectly conditioned adult female, repeating her sleep-taught notions about caste. She parts ways with Bernard on the roof to meet Foster for a date. In the elevator with Alpha males she's had sex with, Lenina publicly talks to Bernard about their date plans, much to his embarrassment, which she doesn't understand. While they chat, Lenina dresses up in a cute green outfit that shows off her Malthusian belt full of contraceptives. She admits that Bernard has asked her to the Savage Reservation and that she's going to accept. Even though everyone else (including Fanny) thinks he's weird, she is attracted to him.

When Fanny is shocked to hear of this relative monogamy, Lenina admits that she has a thing for Bernard Marx. She also chats with Fanny about men, or more specifically, the one man she's been with for a few months now: Henry Foster. In the locker room after work, Lenina goes through her standard materialistic, technology-heavy routine: massage, scent organ, perfume, synthetic music. When the clock strikes four at the end of the workday, Lenina is seen exiting the Hatchery and Conditioning Centre with everyone else. Lenina Crowne is a Beta Plus Hatchery worker, who has begun to question her position within the strict social strata of the New World.
