• 
  Beth, who doesn’t sleep, thinks all night. She decides to tell Michael that Catching can see her, in the hopes that Michael will become reinvested in the case and Catching’s story, which Beth suspects symbolises more “terrible” events than just rehab. Beth is sure that if Michael knows something harmful happened to Catching, he’ll help her, which will “help him too.” Beth worries that this plan could lead to Catching telling Michael that Beth has to move on, deepening his grief, but she doesn’t have a better idea.
  
  

1. Michael tells Catching that he can protect her and her friend. What is her reply? She didn’t want his help and believed that she could look after herself.

2. Catching uses her anger and sadness to tell Beth that she needs to move on. What do you think Beth is starting to realize? Find a quote in the last paragraph on page 125 to support this.   I believe Beth is reconsidering about staying with her father and crossing to the other side ‘You want to help somebody, Teller? Try yourself.’ 

3. Why does Catching only want to 'be heard'?  Catching only wants to be heard because the people might not support the way catching looks and would only listen to a voice and not a video.

4. I took all of Beth's energy not to cross over. Why was she fighting leaving her Dad? She was fighting leaving her dad so that her dad could continue to go on with life and not worry about his dead daughter. 

summary:

Isobel catching is not telling Michael who has abused her and is not telling Beth and her dad the truth and what she's feeling. Beth wants to deny Catching, but she knows she can't, her death has made her and her dad permanently “different.” Catching looks at Beth's face, smiles a little, and tells her to leave for now. Catching keeps urging Beth to do what's best for herself, showing that she is a true friend to Beth.

The summary- In this chapter, Beth is torn between her fear and her sense of responsibility. She knows she should help solve the crime, but it's not easy for her. Throughout the chapter, Beth's inner struggle is explored, and readers learn about her emotions and the challenges she faces.

1. Explain what we learn about Oscar Scholt and his fear of the apocalypse. He thinks the end of the world is coming.

2. This leads to a suspicion that Alexander Sholt may have been involved in what? A legal activity.

3. What do we find out about Allie's friend Sarah? She's crow and she went missing 20 years ago.

4. Finish this sentence... They find a broken window upstairs and believe.... 

5. The chapter ends with another development. What happens?

Summary- Beth rejoins Michael and Allie in the car. As Allie drives, Michael asks whether she went to school with Derek and Alexander Sholt. She says she did, though they were a little older. Alexander went to boarding school for a while but returned after his grandfather, Oscar Sholt, spent too much of the family money preparing for the apocalypse he believed was coming. Alexander made a lot of that money back on the stock market as an adult. Beth, knowing Allie can't hear her, suggests that Alexander made the money back dealing drugs or committing other crimes. Allie praises Alexander Sholt’s charity, mentioning that some townspeople didn’t want him to set up the home. Others wanted to volunteer there, but unfortunately, they were told that by law, only people employed at the home could work there. Beth asks Michael whether that’s a real law. When he shakes his head slightly, she suggests that Alexander fabricated it to keep townspeople from the home.

1. What is different about The Feed? Alexander Scholt is the feed, there's actually 2 feeds, sees mirror eyes of glasses . The fetchers are tom cavanagh and martin flint.

2. Isobe says she is turning into Crow. What does she mean?  She thinks she's dying

3. What do we learn at the end of this chapter? We learn that there is not 1 but 2 feeds.

Summary- In this chapter, we find out that there are two special feeds, which are like magical ways of seeing and knowing things. A guy named Alexander Scholt is connected to these feeds, and he looks at the world through special glasses with mirror eyes. Two people named Tom Cavanagh and Martin Flint help get information from these feeds.

1. What does Catching reveal is 100 paces to the West? 

2. Catching gains a lightness after being heard. Why? 

3. What had Oscar Sholt built?

Summary- When Catching finishes, Beth realizes that the story has taken all day and all night it’s morning. Beth feels as though the story has altered her worldview, and Michael looks as bad as he did after Beth died. When he tells Catching how he’s sorry, she tells him again that he was “too late” to help and that “it” is about 100 steps “west.” Beth asks what that means, but neither Catching nor Michael explains.
