Summary
“Wow, my cranial queen, you really do care,” Gideon said, and Harrowhark levelled her with her best glare. Gideon just continued to smile.
“I cannot have my cavalier primary being abused by my marshal, as much as you deserve it.”
Gideon walked over – sauntered even, if that action was something one could imagine on Griddle’s form – and cocked her head to one side. She was wearing the paint, and Harrow could see the awful job Gideon had attempted in all its glory. And it was a glory. Harrowhark could hardly decide if she preferred the skeletal visage over Gideon’s actual, brown face.
“I would believe that, if you had come into the room with Crux. Where were you, Nonagesimus?”
“It is not your concern, Nav. Would you like to spar?”
Some things would never change.

Summary
Ianthe stormed through the door, ready to wallow in her misfortune with the only people who tolerated her in the entire world. Ready to find some way to have her words crawl inside Gideon’s ears and die, leaving the poor heir to the First – and former denizen of the Ninth, shockingly – with her head on the table. Ready to continue her endless mission to get inside of the Reverend Daughter’s heart – and maybe her pants.
Unfortunately for her, Gideon was up on stage. Even more unfortunately, Harry was entirely enraptured by Gonad’s awful performance.
Oh no. Ianthe recognised those eyes.
She looked around at the table as she sat down, for once avoiding the empty seat next to Harrowhark.
Oh no.
She was the only single person here.

Ianthe is the only person working for John Gaius that seems to be actually working. It's putting an immense toll on her social life.
OR
Ianthe thinks about two certain Ninth House nuns while she masturbates.

Summary
“So, you two were friends?” Coronabeth asked. She managed to make the question seem scandalous. Gideon nodded.
“Yop,” Gideon said.
“No,” Harrow said.
Coronabeth laughed. Ianthe leaned forward, a vulture with carrion. Camilla kept her thoughts to herself, though Gideon was sure Palamedes knew them without even looking. Speaking of, Sex Pal adjusted his glasses and grimaced.
“Then what were you?” Corona asked, still smiling. It had taken Gideon a long time to realise that she was a vulture too. The twins were the unholy pairing of vulture and peacock – Coronabeth just got mostly peacock.
Harrowhark’s face was a mask. Long ago, Gideon might have been able to get glimpses beneath the black and white paint, beneath the vizard of the Reverend Daughter. Gideon watched her eyes absorb the light of the room, and gripped on to her leg to keep herself from tumbling in.
“We dated,” was what eventually emerged from Harrow’s thin lips.

Harrow broke Gideon's heart. Now, they have mutual friends who think there's a problem to fix.

Summary
'Imogen watched as Pâté climbed out of his little house and whispered something, probably vulgar, in Laudna’s ear. She laughed as Laudna spluttered and turned red, and Imogen was almost going to ask what the little rat had said, but Laudna got her words in first.
“Imogen?” she asked. “What are we?”
Imogen thought that was a silly question, and so with a coy smile, she gave a silly answer.
“We’re Laudna and Imogen?” she said.'
A missing scene where the girlies define their relationship.

Summary
“You’re thinking awfully loud back there Laud,” Imogen said, her voice rough and yet as beautiful as always. Laudna imagined a lesser woman would have been spooked. Instead, she just shook her head.
“Darling, you can’t hear my thoughts.”
“And yet,” Imogen yawned, rolling over to face Laudna. “I can still tell you’re thinking.”
OR
The night after their first (and second) kiss, Laudna ruminates on how they got here.

Summary
“Gideon,” Paul says, “will you come with us?”
Before she can respond, Harrow says sharply, “Gideon’s dead.”
“Oh, yeah, I’m super dead. No need to let that stand in the way of our tearful reunion,” Gideon sneers. “Jackass.”
Nona is returned to the tomb before Alecto can awaken. Harrow's soul returns to its rightful home; and, for the first time since Canaan House, she and Gideon have a chance to talk.

Summary
A letter from Nona to Harrow, sharing some important questions and information that she'll need before she returns to her body.
The first thing you should know is that I’m not writing this letter myself. I’m telling it to Palamedes and he’s writing it down. He says that’s called dictating. The first time he said that word, Pyrrha overheard and said, ‘Dick Tate? I hardly know him!’ and then Palamedes said ‘stop interrupting, and we don’t know anyone named Tate.’ Palamedes says I’m getting off topic again. Anyway, Palamedes is writing for me because I can’t. I don’t understand why that’s so important, but Palamedes says not disclosing that information is a serious breach of academic integrity. I don’t know what that means, but apparently you will, and you’ll think it’s important.

Summary
It was strange, how far away and blunted all sensations were to her. Most days, Gideon felt exactly like the thing she was: a ghost piloting an expired meat suit. But when Harrow slowly, cautiously bridged the space between them and her hand found Gideon's in the sheets, Gideon could have sworn that she registered the heat of her skin.
[Harrow rescues a Tower Prince and they fight their way out of the castle while arguing the entire time.]
