In Chapter V, Gatsby's plan to finally reunite with Daisy is put into effect. And within the Chapter, Daisy and Gatsby's feelings for each other are fleshed out. When Gatsby pretends to come over suddenly, and he and Daisy talk; they are initially embarrassed and flustered. Much like a couple on their first date. Later, as the day progresses the encounter evolves into much like a date; with Nick eventually becoming the 'third wheel', as the couple are fully engrossed with each other, eventually ignoring Nick's presence altogether, leading to his departure at the end of the chapter.
