Chapter Summaries & Analyses

Chapter 61 Summary: “Timesick”

Flynne is about to go to bed. She has a quick conversation with Janice after Pickett leaves and informs her of the two men, presumed assassins, who were killed close by. She also tells Janice that Pickett was visiting to help make those dead bodies disappear, which proves the Coldiron group paid off the governor.

Chapter 62 Summary: “Not Expected”

When Netherton arrives in Notting Hill, he is badly drunk and speaks in a disjointed manner. Ash then proceeds to treat Netherton medically for his drunkenness and preemptively for his hangover. Just as Netherton is about to fall asleep, Flynn’s peripheral comes alive and mentions that it vomited after this latest transfer. They chat quickly, and it seems as the peripheral talks that it does not know where it is. Ossian suddenly appears and is immediately kicked and beaten back by Flynne’s peripheral. It is revealed that Burton entered the peripheral and is the one responsible for the assault on Ossian, who is injured during the melee.

Chapter 63 Summary: “Threw Up”

Janice wakes up Flynne because Edward called and said she was needed at the trailer. When Flynne arrives at the trailer, Burton has just returned from occupying the peripheral. He tells Flynne that he was in the future for three hours.
