All's well that ends well, right?

In which all of our main characters pass the idiot ball so hard and fast between them I consider just getting drunk with Frances.

In which our heroine hits the Peter Principle hard and I start to wonder if the Ethians actually are the baddies.

In which several characters find their spines and assert themselves and Jane invites the Ethians to the ball.

In which our heroine entertains, discovers smut, and survives multiple assassination attempts. Presumably.
