Subtlety!It's not often that Annie gets to rock the ponytail, so this is a good page to me.

I just realized that you can see Annie's fingerprint on the moon. Great detail.

I gotta say I was expecting Kat to offer to tag along... and by offer I mean insist. She must have gone at least part-way else how could Antimony have gotten past the security system? Why not the rest of the way?

Omgomg, new book! *bounces up and down*
What's up with Rey? Despite being in the toy body he's quite serious for the past two pages, far less cheeky than he usually acts when wearing that body. Well, not that I'd mind.

If the mind is nothing but the plaything of the body he has an innate interest in protecting Antimony. He is, after all, a child's stuffed toy.

I think Kat is somewhere out there. I do not think she will be sitting at home, sleeping while Annie is going outside. "Reynardine, I'm worried about Kat" should be followed by "She was not there when I went by her room, earlier". We will see more of Kat this episode.

I wanted to mention it in my first post, but I figured that Tom had already noticed it and would fix it and then I would look all silly and out of date and nobody wants that.

Reynardine and Kat have a good point about Annie's meddling - she generally does it out of concern for others rather than mere curiosity, but it never seems to occur to her that she could solve those problems far more effectively by just going to the teachers (Eglamore, Mrs. Donlan, Jones) rather than trying to handle things herself.
I sometimes wonder whether Surma's concern about Annie's taking on medium responsibilities as a child (cf. Chapter Sixteen) might have stemmed, in part, from a fear that it would lead to this: Annie assuming, even in spite of the evidence that she's received since coming to Gunnerkrigg, that grown-ups are no good at handling things and that she can solve these problems on her own.
Of course, if Annie stopped meddling and went to the teachers instead, there'd be far less story.

I imagine that if Annie turned Jack over to them, they'd simply put him back where he was, rather than trying to treat his etheric illness. It also needs to be said that the Court is likely unable to treat the "spider" infection properly. As a general rule, GC hasn't really invested in etheric sciences other than attempting to isolate people with etheric conditions from the rest of the populace. See: Chester.

I love Annie's hair in a ponytail. I bet Kat is secretly lurking/following somewhere, since it would be kind of out of character (to me, at least) for her to let Annie go off somewhere with someone she doesn't trust. Sure, Annie goes off into the forest alone, but she has Eglamore for protection across the bridge, and I'm pretty sure Kat doesn't see coyote as being as creepy as Jack.

Of course, if Annie stopped meddling and went to the teachers instead, there'd be far less story. Considering what we saw of Surma's early days, that seems unlikely. She was pretty well into defying rules and dangerous situations herself. Of course, she still might not like the idea of her little girl doing the same, parents can be like that. Fingerprint on the moon==awesome. Why is she worried about Kat? Kat's seemed pretty stable for the last couple chapters. The only things I can think of is if she was affected by the Diego story and her comment on Monday. Maybe Annie is concerned about this "Let him deal with it himself" attitude that's emerging.

I was thinking she is worried because Kat is following and Annie knows it :3

See definition 2 a here. I'm not sure from context: maybe both of you recognize that, but enough people on the board don't so I'm pointing it out, anyway. Also, there's a print on the moon (there's a print on the moon).

Is anyone else with Annie on missing the nice and non-grouchy Kat? She used to be so chipper...
Hopefully she just woke up or something like that.

Clearly the new hair style is sapping away her sanity like some sort of leech. Past a certain point hair stops growing based on whatever it usually grows on and grows based on happiness, effectively stealing away the host's niceness until it gets long enough where it just grows on fairy magic. Also I am alright with this change of thoughts. "concerend" I'm sorry, I can't help noticing these things. Also: Missing dot. Also there is a print on the moon (there is a print on the moon). Haha, I like how they finally let her go in spite of complaining about it. Gentle mocking! Because teasing can work just as well as debating.

I'm pretty sure they couldn't change Antimony's mind anyway; she's a stubborn one.

Though I still wonder whether Annie ought to inform the Court about the side-effects of that experiment by the lake on Zimmy (and eventually, on Jack); it could be that they don't realize the damage that it's causing, and need to be informed. (Assuming that they aren't doing it on purpose as a horrible experiment on Zimmy to study her - after what we saw of the Founders, I'm not entirely certain that we can dismiss that theory.) Of course, the drawback of that is that Annie would have to admit that she and some of the other children were sneaking about after bedtime.

call me paranoid, but the first thing that came to my mind when the note said to bring the wolf along is that Jack wanted Annie and Reynard at a specific place and time where he knew they couldn't be protecting Kat.

Would Jack actually target Kat? He doesn't seem to have any reason to go after her (she shouted at him in "Residential", but that doesn't seem enough provocation to seek revenge) - unless it's the old "get back at the person you hate by endangering his/her friends", which seems too melodramatic.
But I can't blame Kat for being upset about what she and Annie learned in Chapter Twenty-five; discovering that the founders of your school (not just the school you attend, but also the school that your parents teach at) carried out an act of cold-blooded murder is indeed unsettling.
