He attempted to win Katniss's trust, but she dismissed his discreet hints of rebellion, he shows her his watch which in the right position you can see the symbol of the rebellion, the mockingjay. Katniss saw it and ponders what he means but she merely sees it as one of the Capitol's obnoxious trends. Later he shows up as Head Gamemaker and keeps his cover low. Plutarch shows no thought of Katniss in public and treats her like all other tributes. He is surprised when both Peeta and Katniss go in their private training session and they show signs of rebellion. It comes as a surprise to Katniss when Plutarch is revealed as a leader of the rebellion. Plutarch comes to the Clock Arena in a hovercraft and saves her, Finnick and Beetee after a plan of his making removed the Capitol forcefield. He had already been involved in an undercover group for several years now that was aiming to overthrow the Capitol.Plutarch is a leader of the rebellion and appears during the meeting held by Katniss when she accepts the role of the Mockingjay. Plutarch is happy about her acceptance and that she hasn't changed. Plutarch wishes he could have some coffee and then takes both her and Gale downstairs, but they are stopped on their way by a guard. Gale makes a distraction which allows them to see the guarded room and finds Katniss' prep team being tortured. Plutarch is surprised by this and demands that they be freed. Plutarch goes along with the others to District 8 to shoot their first propaganda. During their visit to one of the hospitals, the Capitol attacks them. Plutarch tries to keep Katniss safe by not allowing her to fight. Katniss does not accept this and goes to fight. After the propaganda is finished, Plutarch goes to receive medical treatment. They meet in the command room and discuss the propaganda and after they finish they decide to allow Katniss to go into combat again and film more after she is fully recovered.Plutarch goes to Katniss's hospital room after Peeta's interview draws to an end because he is worried she is going crazy as a result of it. When he enters, Katniss and Finnick pretend not to have seen it. After Peeta's warning of the bombing on District 13 by the Capitol, Plutarch helps evacuate the entire district to safe bunkers. Plutarch is happy during the bombing because Beetee was successful in hacking the Capitol and airing Katniss' propaganda. Katniss does everything she can not to slap him. He informs Katniss and Prim of Peeta's condition and that he is receiving treatment for the injuries the Capitol has inflicted on him. Later, Katniss asks to go to the Capitol but he refuses because they need all the districts to be on their side first, but District 2 is still with the Capitol. Katniss tells him to send her to District 2.Plutarch shows up later after she is shot in District 2 and is happy to finally have all the districts on their side.
