Sue tells of the dark thoughts of a friend of the old artist Berman, who lives below. He is going to create a masterpiece for a long time, but while he does not stick to something. Hearing about Johnsy, old Berman was terribly upset and did not want to pose Sue, who wrote him a recluse gold digger.
The next morning it turns out that there was only one leaf on the ivy. Johnsy watches him resist the gusts of the wind. It was getting dark, it started to rain, the wind blew even harder, and Johnsy did not doubt that next morning she would not see this leaf any more. But she is mistaken: to her great surprise, the brave leaf continues to fight with the storm. This produces a strong impression on Johnsy. She becomes ashamed of her cowardice, and she finds a desire to live. The doctor who visited her is celebrating the improvement. In his opinion, the chances of surviving and dying are already equal. He adds that the neighbor from the bottom also picked up pneumonia, but the poor man has no chance of recovering. Another day later, the doctor says that now life is out of danger. In the evening, Sue tells her friend sad news: in the hospital, old man Berman died. He caught a cold on that rainy night when ivy lost the last leaf and the artist painted a new one and, in the pouring rain and icy wind, attached it to a branch. Berman still created his masterpiece.
