In BNW, when Linda is dying, the Savage is now kneeling next to her bed in the "death hospital". I noticed when reading John is trying to remember all of the good memories with his mother, he fails to remember them as good ones. He states that "there was only a hateful resurrection of jealousies and uglinesses and miseries." This quote states that in this world, John is totally lost and only feels hatred and confusion.
There is also reference to an actual God. John keeps repeating "Oh, God, God, God..." when Linda has died in the hospital. One of the twins going through death conditioning hears him and is totally and utterly confused, to which the head nurse reacts quickly and gives the children chocolate. John is probably going to be in a great deal of trouble in this society because of the many rules he has broken and lines he has crossed.
I predict that John is going to be sent back the Savage Reservation, but this is what he wants because of all the horrible memories he has in this new society he is "trapped" in. Now that he has dealt with Lenina, and he still has to see Helmholtz before anything major can occur.
