A chain of misunderstandings leads all concerned to believe that Chance is not only a businessman but also an economic prophet. He is invited to speak on national television where he talks about the only thing he understands, gardening. A series of speeches about the changing of the seasons in the garden is taken to be a sign predicting an upturn in the economy, and the public love his supposed optimism.

Kosinski's Chance is fairly young, attractive and “emotionally detached from his surroundings.” This detachment allows others to treat him as a picture of one's wishes, a blank canvas onto which one can paint one's own desires. Each of the other characters sees in the supposed Chauncey Gardiner whatever he or she wishes to see. Rand, who has no children with EE, sees him as a possible successor to his business empire
