In which Bethanie and a special guest discuss Heartless Chapters 41-44.

Jest explains that if Cath crosses the chessboard, she can become a queen without marrying the King. She agrees, and they prepare to journey to Chess, ignoring Cheshire’s warnings of danger. At the treacle well, the eerie childlike Sisters open the Looking Glass maze in exchange for small offerings and five minutes of Hatta’s time, warning him he cannot escape Time. Entering a mirrored forest clearing, the Sisters show disturbing prophecies of Cath as Queen, Jest beheaded, and Hatta mad, urging them to avoid doors. Finally, the group enters the maze, discovering a well that leads to a spiral staircase deep underground—the true beginning of their challenge.
