History WhamEpisode / GunnerkriggCourt

* Chapter 59: [[spoiler: Annie, Kat, George, Smithy, Red and Blue decide to free Jeanne so she can move on to the afterlife. Annie finds out that the arrow that killed her Elf lover has bound his soul to the bottom of the river.]]

* Chapter 12 -- "Mainly Involves Robots": Annie finds an entire society of Robots within the Court. Reynardine shows off his wof form for the first time; more surprisingly, he's helpful for once. He informs Annie that relations between the Court and the Wood are uneasy, to put it mildly, and Annie's actions back in Chapter One may have sparked a diplomatic crisis. And he accidentally lets it slip that he has a cousin.

* Chapter 53: [[spoiler: Anthony reveals the circumstances behind his long absence from his daughter's life. He and his wife leaving the Court was Surma's idea as she didn't want Annie born in the Court. Tony agreed with her partly because of some unknown business Eglamore had a hand in. He also made a deal with the Court to observe something called the Omega device in exchange for help with Surma's pregnancy and after her death he started searching for a scientific explanation behind her death. His search eventually led him to contacting the psychopomps, which led to his current injuries. They gave him a method to see Surma again and his quest to find the needed items is what led him to contact Annie. After he had everything he needed he '''cut off his own arm''' as the final part. The results of all of this did not bring back Surma but would have killed Annie were it not for Zimmy's interference.]]

* Chapter 52: [[spoiler:Anthony reveals that Reynardine has not been responding to his commands. When we see him, as the readers expected, he no longer bears the alchemical that represents Antimony. But what they didn't expect is that he now bears the symbol that represents ''Kat.'']]

* Chapter 41: -- "Changes": [[spoiler:''Andrew'' is the new medium. Not Annie.]] Appears to be an in-universe Wham Moment, too.
** And Coyote's response to this is to gleefully accept [[spoiler: Andrew and Parley.]] He then states that he's decided [[spoiler: to choose a new Medium as well - and picks Annie, offering her full citizenship to the forest.]]

* Chapter 51 is arguably one of the biggest to date. [[spoiler:Anthony Carver shows up in person as a teacher at the Court and turns Annie's life on its ear. He humiliates her in front of her classmates by making her remove her "ridiculous" makeup and chiding her for making the class wait while she does so, and forces her to share a textbook with Kat in what looks to be a ''very'' hard class. After class, he reveals that he's aware of her cheating and has arranged for her to repeat the previous grade. And since she can't live in the Year 10 dorms (not being a year 10 student), and with the Year 9 dorms already being filled, he's arranged for her to room on her own nearby, without having told her beforehand. He's also forbidden her from returning to the forest and told her to transfer ownership of Renard to him. On top of all that, when Kat sees her again after school, she's already boxed up all her possessions and altered her appearance to resemble the little girl who wandered around Good Hope Hospital before her mom died. The chapter ends with Annie's classmates watching her and Kat boarding a carriage to take her away.]] Some commentators have called this the [[Series/GameOfThrones Red Wedding]] of ''Gunnerkrigg Court''. While [[spoiler:Anthony]]'s motives are still a mystery, there are hints that [[spoiler:the events of Chapter 38, "Divine", have had lasting effects. The bones holding Annie's elemental self looked like fingers, and when Zimmy decked Anthony his right hand and arm were obscured. Now, Anthony's right hand appears to be a prosthetic, and he pointedly (and seemingly angrily) rebuffs Annie when she asks about it.]]

After class, he reveals that he's aware of her cheating and has arranged for her to repeat the previous grade, separating her from all her friends. He's also keeping her from the forest and will be taking possession of Renard.

* The first page of Chapter 51 has a new teacher at the Court, [[spoiler: named Mr. Carver]]. Things go downhill so far and so fast [[spoiler: He singles out Annie to remove her "ridiculous" makeup, makes the class wait while she does so, doesn't give her a new textbook so she's forced to share with Kat in what looks to be a ''very'' hard class, keeps her afterward to reveal he knows she's been cheating in all but two of her classes for at least a year and because of that she'll be repeating the previous grade (hence why she didn't get a new textbook) and separated from her job and her friends (including Rey, whose control will go to Anthony) as punishment. On top of all that when Kat sees her again after school she's already boxed up all her possessions and altered her appearance to resemble the little girl who wandered around Good Hope Hospital before her mom died. Anthony also lost his right hand at some point (In "Divine" the bones holding Annie's elemental self looked like fingers and when Zimmy decks Anthony his right hand and arm are obscured).]] some commentators called this the [[Series/GameOfThrones Red Wedding]] of ''Gunnerkrigg Court''.

* Chapter 47 became an entire Wham Arc: from [[spoiler:Jones inadvertently causing Mort's death]] to the revelation that [[spoiler:Mort's haunting "job" was basically busy work to keep him occupied]] to the finale of [[spoiler:Antimony ushering him into the ether, causing him to forget Annie and probably Kat]], the whole thing was one jab to the nose after another.

* Chapter 39 -- Ysengrin, who has formed a strong enough friendship with Annie that she stands up to Coyote on his behalf, turns savage and apparently tries to ''kill'' her because he ''thought'' she might think he is beneath humans...''and'' Coyote is actively taking Ysegrin's memories. "I fear his mind is gone" indeed.

* Chapter 40 -- the entirety of Chapter 40 is a page-by-page SerialEscalation rollercoaster of Wham, as we find out what Jones has seen.
