1) "daytime talk" show, introduce young awkward anchor. sketchy interviews with women claiming to have grown a couple inches in minutes. their stories are not believable to the public, but they are to our readers, since they describe the tonyata.
2) mark seduction with his wife... (he went to visit Chris', doesn't share much of the little he learned, but brought back pink ice as she asked) she goes all stepford on him, makes him drinks before, during, and after dinner, then seduces him and shockingly she experiences tonyata (3 inches)
3) Wendel is frustrated nobody is taking the Protectorate seriously after the Pink Ice debacle. Derek has made progress "sequencing" the Rashja compound. He's trying to unravel the sex-linked nature of the compound, but instead found a way he thinks may allow direct delivery to women. He gives Wendel a syringe, and he in turn "tests" it on Kat. Before he does, Derek warns him that it could be dangerous, that it hasn't been tested. Wendel expresses disregard for her life, like she's property. The substance has a different effect than they intended, it eliminates the Rashja compulsion. Kat is disoriented at first, then she coyly talks about her mind having a new clarity, "talking around" the truth, that she has "snapped out" of the compulsion. She picks up and threatens Wendel. He plays along at first, but then commands her to stop, which she ignores. She parrot's his phrase disregarding her life, and threatens to drop him out his highrise window as she talks about she doesn't need Wendel, she only needs Derek. He begs, pleads for his life.
