In which Bethanie and a special guest discuss Heartless chapters 45-47.

At the Crossroads, Cath must find a way to Chess without using any doors. Realizing they must pass through a looking glass, she discovers a shrinking potion and a small mirror that will serve as the entrance. Before they can continue, Cath hears Mary Ann screaming from behind a gate that leads to Peter’s pumpkin patch. Despite the Sisters’ warnings, Cath goes alone to save her.

Mary Ann reveals the truth: Lady Peter is the Jabberwock, transformed by the same tainted pumpkin seeds that changed the Mock Turtle. Peter has been hiding her while searching for a cure, and now plans to feed Mary Ann to the creature. Peter attacks Cath before she can free her friend.

Jest, Raven (in human form), and Hatta arrive to help. Peter blames Hatta for planting the cursed seeds, though Cath recognizes Peter’s own choices deepened the tragedy. When the Jabberwock descends, Cath kills it with the Vorpal Sword. In revenge, Peter immediately beheads Jest and flees. Heartbroken and enraged, Cath vows to take Peter’s head in return.
