Chapter 86
- We're back with Whit's van on the subway tracks of doom. Emmet thinks they should abandon the van and run, but Margo says they should stay put.
- Whit can't get the car to start so he somehow starts the van with his wizard powers. He slams on the gas, and after a few seconds, the van finally lurches forward.
Chapter 87
- Wisty grabs a rope as she falls. Whew. That was close.
- She uses the rope to sort of rappel down the side of the building. Her feet encounter something solid. Oh dear, it's the corpse of the Visitor.
Chapter 88
- Whit's still trying to outdrive the train. They come to a fork in the tracks and Whit's not sure which one to take.
- He uses his wizard powers to alter the track so that the train follows the fork the van didn't take. Crisis averted.
- Everyone in the van is just sitting there trying not to puke. Emmet finally says they're close to the portal back to Garfunkel's.
Chapter 89
- Wisty screams and lets go of the rope, falling to the ground. There's a sign pinned to the Visitor that indicates he was executed due to her and Whit's escape.
- While she's been distracted, the guards have caught up with her. Her magic is still dead, so she cries. When a guard makes fun of her, she spits in his face.
Chapter 90
- The hospital administrator can't figure out where Wisty belongs—they don't have any unaccounted-for prisoners.
- The administrator gets a call and realizes the prisoner the guards have captured is Wisty.
- Excellent, now he only has to catch Whit and the Allgood parents. Wait… aren't they supposed to be imprisoned at the hospital?
- Turns out Wisty's parents aren't there after all. Wisty's puzzled, but glad.
- Wisty is getting angry because she realizes Sasha lied. Is he a spy? She wonders about it as she's dragged into a cell.
