Stillness of Hours

- Karkat meeting the parents of the child he saved in The Great Escape.
- John comes to see Karkat.
- Jinda's mother's speech. "This is Jinda. She is my long-held dream. For twelve sweeps we prepared ourselves for her arrival. We loved her long before she existed. We were commemorating her hatching day when the ships came. Thanks to you, we will be able to commemorate again her next one."
- Karkat and John decide to learn each other's languages because their translators aren't working.
- "You are forever friend. Okay?"
(i'll see you on) the other side:
- Eudora freaks out at the sight of a child sex slave, and once he recovers, beggars himself to buy her so she won't wind up being raped for the rest of her life. He and his crew then set up a home for her on the ship and go out of their way to be nice to her in every way they can.
- Eudora himself is one of the nicest trolls in existence. Upon discovering that one of the corpsesnote he intended to feed to his plants was actually alive (and wasn't even part of his crew in the first place), instead of just culling her and feeding her to the plant anyway, he instead nursed her back to health himself and let her hang around on his ship. He treats everyone like an equal, and just wants to garden and be chill instead of the usual highblood rampaging.
- Chapter 7 reveals that the Spiceler is the head of a secret faction among the Horticutters who have made it their mission to buy any child sex-slave stolen off Alternia, kill the sellers along with anyone who buys a child for a sex-slave, and rehabilitate the child. Eudora made all this faction incredibly happy when he bought Zaphir and managed to bring her back to herself, without even knowing of their existence.
- Olvier gives Eudora a captchalogue card containing a sealed folder and a letter. The letter says that the folder is full of crucially important and treasonous secrets, and if Eudora wants to preserve himself and destroy the Spiceler, everyone he knows and all he's built up, all he'd have to do is deliver the folder, still sealed, to any agent of the Condesce. Eudora immediately stops reading the letter, unseals the folder, and then goes right back to reading.
- Crossing over with Tear Jerker (but in a good way): Pascal, a non-verbal autistic troll, manages to tell Zaphir that they never wanted her to be their sex slave, they just wanted to help her because she was suffering and they had the means.
