On his way to Nebraska, Nick Andros meets three very different survivors of the superflu.

Welcome to On the Border, Book 2 of The Stand. 

"For a moment they all seemed helpless to proceed further-a group of three dots which, when connected, would form a triangle whose exact shape could not yet be foreseen."

In the last chapter of Captain Trips, Stu meets Fran and Harold.

"The worst is being alone. Being lonely."

Larry and Rita's stop in Bennington, Vermont takes an unexpected turn in Chapter 41. 

In Chapter 40, Nick Andros is tempted by Flagg... and finds comfort with Mother Abagail. 

In Chapter 39, Randall Flagg hands Lloyd the key to his freedom... in exchange for a promise.

Survivors of the superflu experience something known as the second epidemic. No great loss. 

I also chat a bit about when to expect The Stand miniseries in 2020, and Fiona Dourif's casting as Rat Man!

In Chapter 37 Stu gets to meet Kojak (yay!) and Glen Bateman, a former professor of sociology who has some thoughts on the future of mankind. 

Being the last two living people in Ogunquit, Fran and Harold decide to leave Maine and head for the Stovington CDC in Vermont, because surely there are people there who will be able to help them, right?

In order to escape Manhattan, Larry and Rita must navigate the Lincoln Tunnel, which is now a tomb of the dead...

I also give my non-spoilery thoughts on The Institute!
