On C.S. Lewis

In this week's chapter, the powers of the N.I.C.E. will try to tighten their grip on Mark by entrapping him with planted evidence, and when he flees, he ends up in a showdown with Dr. Dimble about Jane. Dr. Dimble stands fast about Mark and the evil represented by the N.I.C.E. and refuses to reveal where Jane is. Meanwhile, the Director and the Company at St. Anne's prepare to take action and enter the fray based on the spiritual guidance they have received.

To his horror, Mark finds that the Head of the N.I.C.E. is not just a nightmare he has dreamed up, but instead the head of a dead criminal whose life has been artificially prolonged. As Mark's attempt to leave the N.I.C.E. is thwarted by Wither, Jane learns about Ransom's history at St. Anne's and the role of the angel-like spirits known as the Eldils in guiding the Company

While Mark enjoys what he believes to be increasing success at the N.I.C.E., Jane discovers some of the unusual aspects of life at St. Anne's. However, things at the N.I.C.E. are not as they first appear to Mark, and more of its sinister characteristics become evident over the course of the chapter.

Jane flees to St. Anne's and is welcomed into the Manor. She is taken to meet the Director, Mr. Fisher-King, and she is overwhelmed and transformed by the beauty and holiness of her encounter with him. Upon returning to Edgestow, she is caught up in a riot and then arrested by the N.I.C.E., who torture her to try to extract infomation about St. Anne's. Jane escapes and manages to find her way back to the Manor.

As we embark on Chapter 6, we will see fog envelop the N.I.C.E. as it works more aggressively on media propaganda and using riots to advance its agenda, while Jane's visions continue to disturb her daily routine. Meanwhile, the company at St. Anne's is an island of light and beauty unaffected by the fog.

The true nature of the N.I.C.E. starts to become more apparent in Chapter 5, as even through the cloud of double-speak it becomes evident that propaganda and coercive control are key parts of its mission. We also gain insights into the community of St. Anne's and its leadership.
