Roland uses the Mortcypedia to get exactly what he needs. We learn a lot of details about incidental characters. Some pants are peed, some prescriptions are filled. But how is Eddie doing on the beach.

Kevin and Nick (and Roland) continue on into the mind of Jack Mort and travel through the streets of Manhattan. We discuss cab safety and they reach a spot that will hopefully be helpful for Roland.

Nick and Kevin talk about the Tommyknockers for a little while. Then get back into the text. Detta is lying in wait like an ambush predator until the time is right to spring on Eddie. Then we find out what a 'honeypot' is and we discover how strong she is both physically and emotionally. We also mention the D and D alignment chart at the end.

Roland goes through the third door. We meet Jack Mort and boy is he terrible. But we also get to see our favorite boy again, Jake! What's going on here? Kevin and Nick go off on tangents as usual. Time works differently here. Timeline confusion is discussed.

Nick rambles a bit about things that happened in 1987 in the SK trivia because he didn't want to spoil the end of The Drawing of the Three, which with we are nearly finished!

It's Episode 50 of Chapter Brothers!!!

They finally make it to the third door. Eddie does a lot of running. Is it the Lady or the wildcat? Or is it a puma? Tension mounts as Eddie screams for ODETTA! Roland tells Eddie to be on guard.. it's been a long and winding road to the third door.

Eddie and Odetta quickly make there way down the beach, leaving the ailing Roland behind. They share a romantic night under the stars together and finally spot the third door. The end of the book is slowly approaching. Disclaimer: Nick was recording in a dim basement and misplaced his glasses, apologies for the poor reading, thank goodness for Kevin's professionalism.

Eddie and Roland continue pushing the wheelchair through sand traps and spinning their wheels. Detta is wary of these two honky mahfahs. Kevin and Nick (two honky mahfahs themselves) attempt to go quickly but end up going long as they discuss consent and racial stereotypes in film and literature. Kevin defends his stance on wearing shoes and socks at the beach.

Eddie gets a rude awakening from Detta. Luckily Roland knows this gunslinger in the making is always slightly dangerous. While he sleeps with one eye open, he waits for Eddie to learn a painful lesson before the mongoose subdues the snake.
