Despite traveling hundreds of miles in half a day, Kaladin runs out of Stormlight before he reaches home, and has to walk the rest of the way, resulting in the Everstorm arriving before him. Just as he is giving up hope of anyone having survived, some soldiers in the manor spot him and pull him inside.

* BoobsOfSteel: Unintentional version. Shallan creates a new personality, "Brightness Radiant," with Lightweaving to help her become the sort of person who can learn swordplay. Since she based this personality on Jasnah, she has a noticeably larger bust than Shallan normally does.

* AvengersAssemble: In the Battle of Thaylen Field, [[spoiler: Honor's Perpendicularity has faded]] and the heroes gather to Dalinar at the breach in the city wall for orders. ''Seven'' out of the ten Knights Radiant orders are represented - the most in one place since the Recreance: Dalinar for the Bondsmiths, Kaladin for the Windrunners, [[spoiler: Szeth for the Skybreakers]], Lift for the Edgedancers, Renarin for the Truthwatchers, Shallan and [[spoiler: Shalash, patron Herald]] for the Lightweavers, Jasnah for the Elsecallers, and [[spoiler: Taln, patron Herald]] for the Stonewards.

** Whatever the remainder of the team sent to Kholinar did to [[spoiler: escape a conquered city overrunning with Fused and singers, while rescuing Gavinor from Aesudan's clutches in the process.

** [[spoiler:Taravangian's plan hinges on one of these: he will make a bargain with Odium in which Odium agrees to spare the people Taravangian rules, then Taravangian will become [[TakeOverTheWorld ruler of the entire world]]. Everyone will be ruled over by Taravangian, and thus spared by the terms of the agreement. Unfortunately for nearly everyone on Roshar, Odium sees right through the trick, being smart enough to only approach him on a day where he's less intelligent and read the Diagram first, and agrees only to spare Kharbranth and anyone married to any citizen of Kharbranth]].

* Fingore: Odium is tormenting Dalinar with visions [[spoiler: of Dalinar's accident murder of his wife]]. To distract himself from the pain, Dalinar takes to ''ripping out his own fingernails''. It doesn't work.
