• Taylor’s narrative force
• Just how cautious is Coil?
• Are the Undersiders in too deep?
• The urgency of saving Dinah
• Coil’s a control freak and a show-off

• Uh oh, does this mean they’re going to start losing all the time?
• Even before showing them Dinah, Coil’s non-apology should have the Undersiders worried
• The problem of managing other capes
• The Undersiders came into this chapter united
• Skipping that week made the arc better paced and the chapter more exciting
