** As harsh as it is, Red going ''off'' on Annie, giving her a much-needed call out about Annie's more dubious actions involving the attempt to free Jeanne. * [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1826]] Kat's response to that is even better as she talks to Annie later and says that Red was the one who insisted she should go in the first place and she was just lashing out because she brought her own friend along, putting her in danger. Kat even wonders why Red was there in the first place and says that Annie's friends all trusted her and chose to go, while Red shouldn't have been there.

** After the brief glimpse in chapter 38, we finally get a better look at [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/index.php?p=1258 Annie's fire [[http://gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1259 elemental form]].]] And boy, is it ''awesome.''

-->'''Ysengrin''': Direct your anger at me if you must. Now, at least, you cannot ignore it. Your father looks at you and sees the ghost of his dead wife. It is his loss if he does not see what an incredible creature his daughter is.

** Annie is trapped in a maze within the ether so what happens when Kat decides to go in to help her? She destorts the [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1740 ether with her presence alone. ]]

** While it dips into the horrific and TearJerker territory, we're treated to a glance of [[spoiler: Annie's fire elemental form]] [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=1042 here]].
** This moment when Zimmy [[spoiler: travels through the ether to give Annie's dad a punch to the face]], while shouting "Message from your little girl, mate!" [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=1046 Behold.]]

** Jones' entire origin story tops everything else in the series. [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=1110 Case in point]]: [[spoiler:she stopped a ''charging bison dead in its tracks'']].

** Smitty didn't expect to [[spoiler: become the Court's new Medium]], but [[http://gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1158 he doesn't hesitate to use that authority mere moments after receiving it]], essentially [[spoiler: stopping the Headmaster ''dead in his tracks'' when he tries to cut Annie off from the Court]].

** We find out [[WhatYouAreInTheDark who Reynardine really is]]. After pages and pages of ambiguity and conflicted emotions, this [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1228 moment]] hits you like...like [[spoiler:the can of gas he's [[ItMakesSenseInContext murdering Hetty]] with in it.]]

'''Reynard:''' I can never forgive myself for what I tried to do. I had already taken a life, and I was prepared to do it again...This body is my shame. [[PreAsskickingOneLiner And when she smiles at me, I feel the shame of that moment anew!]] [[spoiler: ''(attacks [[EvilCounterpart Hetty]].)'']]

** After the brief glimpse in chapter 38, we finally get a better look at [[spoiler: [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/index.php?p=1258 Annie's fire]] [[http://gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1259 elemental form]].]] And boy, is it ''awesome.''

** Paz [[spoiler: using her FriendToAllLivingThings powers to inform Lindsey of the situation. Who then [[MamaBear body slams the ship.]]]] Memorably summed up with her comment [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1441 here:]]

** Kat [[http://gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1443 here]], in [[spoiler: her etheric form]]:

** [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1520 There are some things even Annie won't give up for him.]] Considering the regression [[spoiler:Anthony]] has caused Annie these past few chapters, this simple act of rebellion shows some of her fire--the one that belonged to her mother--still rages on inside her.
** Someone finally, ''finally'', tells [[spoiler:Anthony]] to cut the crap:
--->"[[spoiler:Tony]], where the hell have you been?"

** Kat ''finally'' getting to [[http://gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1527 verbally cut loose]] regarding [[spoiler:Anthony's absence]] and defending Reynard:
--->[[spoiler:'''Anthony''']]: I cannot be so quick to assume [Reynard]'s harmless.\\

** Anthony's true motivations for what he did to Annie: [[spoiler:The Court was going to kick out his daughter and remove her from their program and support. He managed to broker a deal to bring her into line, all for the love of the last bit of his wife he had left. Keep in mind that he almost killed her with his etheric antenna, and was on the verge of giving it all up himself. He has done everything over the past few chapters so his daughter could have a chance, and so he could have a reason to live himself.]]

** Coyote comes to the Court to find out what has happened to Annie and they try to pass off everything as [[spoiler: Anthony's fault.]] In a ''very'' sweet case of LaserGuidedKarma this [[GoneHorriblyRight works too well]] as Coyote shows them how much this has ticked him off ''by knocking over a building.''
** [[spoiler: Anthony immediately gets a moment of his own following this as he questions how can he let Annie go to the forest knowing Coyote's temper. Bear in mind that he has been briefed on Annie's dealing with the forest ''and'' just saw an example of why going against Coyote may be a bad idea. Gotta respect that he's willing to stand up to a PhysicalGod [[PapaWolf just for his daughter]].]]
** [[spoiler: Coyote responds to Anthony's concerns by delivering a ''long'' overdue WhatTheHellHero speech where he points out that Tony's actions have basically shattered Annie internally and that he has no business judging considering what he's done. For bonus points Coyote is reading Anthony's mind during this and really enjoying the inner conflict the man is going through. WellIntentionedExtremist or not the man has been overdue for some karma.]]
** Ysengrin hears Annie's explanation for why she [[spoiler: partitioned her anger]]. And he decides [[spoiler: it's total bullshit and shatters her blinker stone, forcing her to face her rage, even telling her to turn her fury on ''him'' if she has to.]]

*** And of course, the end of the chapter where Annie decides to confront [[spoiler: Anthony and get Renard back from him.]]

** Parley doing to Jeanne what's basically a FightingGame combo. Upon deciding that [[spoiler:Jeanne is too fast for her]], she starts her combo [[spoiler:[[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1759 by letting her get close so she can teleport and pummel the ghost from the back]]]], then in the next page [[spoiler:[[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1760 after the wake-up, Jeanne realizes she struck her from the back, and now receives a hit right in the head]]]], then in the next page [[spoiler:[[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1761 Parley teleports again, then uppercuts her from the back, and pummels Jeanne's back mid-air, sending her to kiss the ground]]]].
** Smitty [[spoiler: [[TakingTheBullet taking the knife that he knew was meant for Parley]].]]

** Coyote comes to the Court to find out what has happened to Annie and the try to pass off everything as [[spoiler: Anthony's fault.]] In a ''very'' sweet case of LaserGuidedKarma this [[GoneHorriblyRight works too well]] as Coyote shows them how much this has ticked him off ''by knocking over a building.''

** A meta one for Tom, for [[http://gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1776 tying off a tiny, minuscule hanging plot thread]] ''fifty-two chapters later''.

** Red goes ''off'' on Annie, giving her a much-needed call out for all the bullshit that occurred involving the attempt to free Jeanne.
