Jean sees Llewella leaving the palace. He knows that she's supposed to be under house arrest, but he doesn't know what house arrest means, so he doesn't interfere with her or tell anyone.
Jean sees Llewella gate into the Rebman Pattern room and start playing with Cailin's hat, which is inside the blucite. He sees her start wandering across the floor in some weird pattern.
She pours punch from the hat into the grooves in the floor, then pours the blood from forty or fifty Things (acquired from the hat) into the grooves. She decides that she wants Cailin, or at least his power, and goes to him via the memory of his theft of Rebma's Pattern.
Llewella blucites the remaining bits of the Rebman Pattern, rants at Cailin for some time, then tries to figure out how to walk the Pattern-box around Cailin and friends. The anti-dragons nibble at the blucite around her.
Cailin trumps Neville and chats with him.
Llewella is told that Ferro is approaching the Amber Castle, and that she should go have a chat with him about her Pattern.
Llewella blucites the outside of the Pattern-box, then realizes that she can't gate out. More ranting happens.
Kintani is currently wielding the Jean-saucer like a breath weapon, spraying fish at one of the golden dragon elders near the edge of the Sea.
Jean poses questions to Dworkin about the situation. Dworkin sends through a fish that causes the other (gold) fish to explode in a chain reaction, sending the golden dragon flying into the sea. Marial catches the dragon, and throws back a note. After some fooling around, they acquire a Dancer that can read, who tells them that the note says, "Next".
They start spraying fish under the Serpent's Apprentice, kick him into the Sea, and then start piling fish under the next. When the next note goes flying in, they detonate the next person.
Ilk gains consciousness while moving in an odd circular pattern in the Sea of Chance. He notices that he's hitting more of the pieces of the Sea that help him than pieces that would hurt, so the person causing that must be very good. He eventually gains enough coherency to determine that it's Marial.
Marial asks the Serpent's Apprentice to take a nap and let some reality accrete on him, so she has a place to put the less stable rescued beings.
Kintani goes for Shiryu. He's near the center -- he made it quite a ways in before becoming gold. However, he's fairly small.
Jean - "Nice hang time for a Realms Lord!"
Suhuy notices that the third walker of the Logrus succeeded. The fourth failed spectacularly. He tried to be showy, and blew it big time. Bits of him were blasted back out of the wall of the Logrus.
Only two of the remaining members of the class were willing to try it. One was the guy that Suhuy kept kicking back to the end of the line, and he took the lesson to heart and walked the Logrus successfully. The other one was too meek, and was eaten. The six who chickened out discover that they cannot leave the room.
Jean notices that Ferro is now approaching Amber again.
A number of Old Lords are starting to accumulate near the "wet cat in a sack", wondering if they're going to get to do the Old Lord shuffle.
Llewella fails to depart New Cataan, removes the blucite around the box made from a Pattern and continues speculating on ways to walk the box.
Eventually Tate trumps Llewella into the box, and then she joins Cailin's contact with Neville. Neville yanks her through and taps Jean. Cailin briefly feels the universe open around him, and then his mind shuts down.
Llewella chats with Neville briefly, then goes back to Rebma. She goes to Arden, loots Moira's corpse, then returns to the Pattern room with a blue jewel.
Jean notices Llewella with a Jewel of Judgment that doesn't look right, and tells Dworkin. They chat.
Llewella fools around with blucite, the Jewel, and her blood for a while. When she touches the Jewel to the blucite, there is a massive explosion and she is thrown backward to hit and slide down the wall.
Jean doesn't see any explosion, he just sees Llewella fly backward, hit the wall, and slump to the floor.
