Hubba! Hubba! Cherry in a bathrobe! Well, I didn’t picture that! No, not Cherry in a bathrobe, but Cherry spending time scrolling social media for disaster articles. Well, to each her own.
Here we have one of Rivera’s oft-used plot devices: Interweaving Mark and Cherry into each other’s storylines. It’s not always simultaneous: Sometimes Mark gets involved in Cherry’s work and sometimes it’s Cherry helping out Mark. This time the focus is the exploding train, not the depleted beehives.
There isn’t much Cherry can do about the train situation at this point, so she might as well keep working on how the beehives were abandoned. Until then, we may be faced with several days of Mark updating Cherry on what’s going on up there (mainly, everything we’ve already read the past few weeks).
