- Hardcore Literature IJ lecture III: The Map is Not the Territory (pages 489–795)
- IJ Book Club Ep. 37 (S3 Ep 3): Wait — the wraith's confession, Gately's Mrs. Waite/death dreams, the mirror-bus plan, Hal's first-person return (pp. ~832–848)
- IJ Book Club Ep. 38 (S3 Ep 4 by feed position): Full of the sound and fury... — the off-the-board roadmap session: the head-dig as settled fact, JOI's save-Joelle scheme, the hole-communication mechanism, and the who-is-the-plant fight (no new pages)
- IJ Book Club Ep. 39 (S3 Ep 5): Ablutions, eh? — the toothbrush walkthrough delivered at last: Joelle at Gately's bedside, abiding between heartbeats, and the wraith-and-Lyle DMZ dosing mechanism argued in full (pp. ~854–mid-860s)
- Infinite Cast Part 108: Hal a week clean, Mrs. Waite's cake (pp. 845–854) — commentary segment (~14 min): not an NA share, the past-life mother taken personally, Wallace-as-Mrs.-Waite — and not a word about the bus heist
