Full House Restriction / "legal quarantine" after the Nuck's death

timeline_event

texture · 12-20 Nov YDAU

  • When: from the days after the 11-12 Nov fracas through 20 Nov YDAU
  • What: After the Nuck's death, Clenette Henderson and Yolanda Willis are put on Full House Restriction — meals in their room, "under orders not to come down or go near any windows, because of what happened to the map of the Nuck they allegedly stomped," i.e. kept from "fucking themselves over legally in a deposition" while the Finest and "weirder Federal guys" take the other residents' statements (161). The sequestration holds across the range: Johnette Foltz stays home from a St. Columbkill's meeting to keep an eye "on Henderson and Willis, who were under legal quarantine upstairs" (166); and on 20 Nov Joelle — released by her federal questioners and heading straight back to the House — hopes Pat "might be prevailed upon to put her in quarantine with Clenette and Yolanda, not let in no law," arriving to find a Middlesex County Sheriff's car already idling outside. This is the last the novel shows of Clenette. Fate open, as printed.
