I wonder if Renard is being used as the storage receptacle for the goose bone. If so, that could be what "Loup" is looking at (and is arguably indirectly linked to).

I seriously hope they weren't dumb enough to bring it with them. The spiralling hair in the top-right of the panel is what makes me think Court!Annie has been taken, since that was her end of the rey-phone. Edit: Could this be the alternate dimension's Court/Psychopomp attempt to bring her back from what they probably believe is imprisonment? I'm gonna take a guess that the Forest is the point of convergence for both of these worlds, which might be the reason some sort of recovery attempt might have worked? |

"What is this?"
It's a Friday Cliffhanger, of course!

Aha, knew I recognised this light - Loup describes encountering the same thing in Neither. They seem similar enough that I'm willing to bet they're related/the same. So this is probably some sort of interference from the court? Although maybe this is just wishful thinking on my end, but I can't help but notice that this chapter made it a point that Renard was left with Kat. Who's uh, renowned for having an interesting effect on the Ether. |

Someone on Reddit has suggested it could be Court!Annie going nuclear about Loup ignoring her, which would be also interesting to see how that plays out.

Who's uh, renowned for having an interesting effect on the Ether. Well, that's it, the official beginning of the end: Loup/Coyote, the Chaos Bringer, acknowledges Kat as the OrderMaker who is not fooled,and sometimes immune, to the Ether, and is the Creator of Robotkind. Mmm, interestingly, "Creator" is not a title I remember applied to Coyote (except for the 'failure' Shadowmen). Are Shadowmen and Robotkind the opposite sides of the same theme? That would make Shadow+Robot ship extra-significant.. |

Not sure "Loup" has failed yet; I think we'll have to wait until next update to see if "Loup" can figure out what he's looking at or not.

I think it'd be more likely to be Kat's computer, given it incorporated, or still does incorporate the Arrow, which is explicitly said to be an ether-breaking nightmare. I suppose Kat herself being the thing could still be valid depending on how much she integrates herself to it. |

Rey is still carrying the Tooth inside him, is he not? I really hope that's not what Loup is seeing.
Must trust it's part of Coyote's plan... Must trust it's part of Coyote's plan... I'm not panicking! You're panicking!

I'm not panicking! You're panicking! That was my first thought as well, but then Renard does not seem to be aware of the presence of light, and the light does not emanate from him. |

(the other half wonders what the court is doing with that ether station) |

Someone on Reddit has suggested it could be Court!Annie going nuclear about Loup ignoring her, which would be also interesting to see how that plays out. I also thought that looks like Annie approaching fast like a really angry fire train Well, that's it, the official beginning of the end: Loup/Coyote, the Chaos Bringer, acknowledges Kat as the OrderMaker who is not fooled,and sometimes immune, to the Ether, and is the Creator of Robotkind. Mmm, interestingly, "Creator" is not a title I remember applied to Coyote (except for the 'failure' Shadowmen). Are Shadowmen and Robotkind the opposite sides of the same theme? That would make Shadow+Robot ship extra-significant.. Do Coyote/Loup ever even heard Kat's name in the comic? Tom is seriously keeping them from each other, I'm dying to know what will be Loup's reaction when he sees Kat's boss ethereal form. Wonder if it'll be some kind of gamechanger.
That or Kat is Coyote in disguise. Have you ever seen them in the same place?

I also thought that looks like Annie approaching fast like a really angry fire train I have no idea what's going on, but it would be amazing if Rey was the distraction to some deep plan to clock Loup, either literally or figuratively. Of course, Loup is still a mad god, so step #2 seems a bit fuzzy. 1) Smack Loup around 2)  ? 3) Profit! "If you aim for the king, don't miss." |

It came up briefly in Totem: Kat isn't allowed to visit the forest, and Coyote&Co. don't exactly spend much time in the Court. If you look at it in a certain way, the two of them are basically representative of the opposite ends of Annie's (Annies'?) life, and they kind of just haven't happened to cross paths yet. |

I'm pretty sure there's nothing in this comic that "just kind of" happens (or doesn't happen). If Kat hasn't met Coyote/Loup, that's not an accident. The same is probably true for Zimmy.
It would be pretty cool if it turns out that ZimmyZims is the key to stopping Loup's shenanigans. Hard to see how that would work, though.

Another theory: The Court bugged Annie(s) to listen/watch in on their conversation. After all, this Loup creature threatens the Court's existence and who knows how far they really trust Annie? Especially the one that just recently left the Forest?

I wish I could hear Rey's tone of voice in the final panel. Is it surprised, i.e. an echo of Loup's surprised "What?!", or is it confused as in "What are you talking about?" or even "What? I don't see anything..."
The comments include a wide variety of guesses as to what the "What?" is. Some interesting ones are: this timeline's Annie, Surma, the Psychopomps, the ethereal judges, Annie's fire spirit, Kat's ethereal form, Annie's death, the Seed Bismuth, Coyote's tooth, a manifestation of the Court's power plant project, an oncoming train (hee!), Jeanne, Loup's alter ego (?), and the Annies' combined fire.
I hope it's something awesome like those, but it could just be Court!Annie, who Loup may not have realized was part of the connection to Rey. (After all, he's been ignoring Courtney.) Then Rey's "What?" would just be expressing surprise that Loup didn't know about that.

A possible simple answer: C!Annie is just soul-deep furious at Loup calling Rey their slave.
