Jimmy has taken a boat out to the rock and climbed up, only for the boat to float away. The wind is strong, there is thunder in the distance and it has started to rain. Jimmy is convinced he is going to die and begins to focus on what is going on around him. He realises that every drop of rain is going into the ocean and becoming part of it. He finally understands that he is like the ocean and his four personalities are drops of water. He has to accept that he can't be a tough guy, a romantic, a bloody lunatic or a hypocritical beggar in isolation; he is and always will be all four. He must learn to love and embrace this, and Townshend has said that ultimately the hypocrite becomes the dominant personality because of this acceptance of the four incompatible aspects of Jimmy.
