Not a whole lot of motion in these two chapters. We've got one chapter of Jubal talking down to Jill and passing the reader some info about what happened to Ben (honestly, I'd forgotten the dude's name--probably just as well Heinlein reminded us about him here). And then we've got some exploration of Mike's abilities.
Those are interesting, but less original now than they might have been when the book was written. Mike is super smart, and can learn things incredibly fast. He's got some telekinetic abilities. And he can make dangerous things disappear with a thought. It also seems that on Mars, spirits/souls/some such hang around after a person's body dies. K.
No doubt we'll discover that Mike has these abilities because his Martian upbringing helped him access the other 90% of the brain that most humans don't use. :/
