The second half of Season 4 begins in earnest, as we move into chapters 1-4 of the novel Arlington.

These chapters will be covered by three smaller episode in total, and today we get into:

A look back on where we've been

The connecting thread of how these four chapters introduce our four primary narrators

A discussion of Annie Oakley, and how starting with her narration puts us in familiar territory 

A change of mood, and a new setting that makes the beginning of the novel line more up with what we learned of the world from the Handbook

How from the very first chapter, plot twists occur that throw everything into chaos, and set not only the tone for everything going forwards...

...but also with it's final lines, the novel telling us exactly what kind of story it is.
