    I assume that you are referring to Ponyboy's return from the church on Jay Mountain near Windrixville, where he and Johnny had gone into hiding after Bob's death.

    After the return of Ponyboy, Johnny, and Dally from Windrixville, the Curtis brothers were forced to deal with the hospitalization of Johnny and Dally, who had been injured when Ponyboy and Johnny rescued several children from the burning church and Dally, in turn, saved Johnny's life.  Sadly, the gang also eventually had to cope with Johnny's death.  In addition, Soda's girlfriend, Sandy, moved to Florida due to her pregnancy; Ponyboy was injured in a rumble the night of Johnny's death; Johnny's mother made a scene at the hospital;  Dally committed suicide by tricking the police into shooting him; the brothers had to endure a court hearing in which the Socs said that Johnny had killed Bob and the Curtis brothers were allowed to stay together; and the brothers had to overcome the effects of the problems they had been through.
