When Toohey emerges victorious from the strike, prepared to dictate editorial policy on The Banner, Wynand shuts down the paper rather than allow Toohey to control it.
Years of Toohey's scheming are wasted; he has failed both in his attempt to stop Roark and in his attempt to take over the Wynand papers.
Toohey must start over at another paper, but time, for him, is running out — as it has for Keating, who is publicly exposed as a fraud at Roark's trial, as a man who puts his name on another man's work. Keating, who once enjoyed acclaim, now finds that his career in architecture is finished.
He is a rotted-out shell of a man. The End.
