Summary
Time has always been strange in the Oldest House, stretching and contracting, bending around Thresholds and Altered Items. But never folding back in on itself, never creating a loop. And Emily would have continued to believe that too, if a chance convergence of events hadn't landed her squarely in the middle of the temporal relationship between Jesse, the House, and the Board.
Or
Jesse keeps dying, but she also keeps getting better, and for some reason, only Emily remembers. -

Summary
So often in this mad house, things seemed to be both orchestrated and completely random at the same time. Jesse felt like her relationship with Emily fit very well into that description.
Or how Jesse navigates insecurities with a little help.

Summary
What happens behind the counter is almost muscle memory at this point: printing a receipt, working the espresso machine; the carton of milk, the bottle of syrup; the clink of grey porcelain as she sets the cup down in the saucer. With the edge of a spoon, she gently draws the outline of a pyramid in the latte’s foam – like it’s her artist’s signature.

Summary
Ten Years after the storm that destroyed their childhood home, Max Caulfield and Chloe Price have finally moved onto the next stage of their lives. An enticing Job for a big employer in NYC for Max, and Chloe... making it up as she goes along. The two of them have carved out a relatively normal existence, that is until a chance encounter brings Max’s power back to the forefront and reveals to the pair that Max was never the only one with powers, and that maybe she was never destined for a mundane existence in a world where her perception of normal was despite being slightly abnormal, paled in comparison to reality.
All thanks to the Federal Bureau of Control and its charismatic and powerful Director, Jesse Faden.

Summary
“Dr. Pope is an extraordinary woman, though sometimes she has a habit of losing herself in the science and missing things.” The squinted look he gave Jesse made her feel more scrutinized than she’d like to be.
“What are you saying, Langston.” She hoped her directness might make him back off from whatever he was hunting around for.
Which was nothing of course. There was nothing for Langston to know. Yes she was moping, but it was because she wanted to sit with her friend at lunch.

Jesse and Emily discover maybe their relationship isn't exactly normal for 'coworkers' and how they make it everyone else's problem in the process. -

Summary
Jesse Faden and Emily Pope are left holding the reins of the FBC after the events of Foundation, trying their best to keep the Hiss (and paperwork) under control. But down in Sublevel 3B, an old threat is reawakening. A sealed room is slowly eating memories, and no one seems to remember what was in there in the first place. As Emily and Jesse chase down answers through late-night archive dives and increasingly unreliable memories, they fight to keep each other grounded in the face of a reality-altering anomaly threatening to breach containment.

Summary
When slidescape-36 becomes an active threshold, Jesse and Darling must integrate consonance into chaos to bring resolution to The Oldest House; when harmony of resonance relies on trust, an unlikely partnership is formed in the process.
While two notes may define an interval, even a heavenly fifth, it takes three to form a chord.

Summary
“But based on your case history, and what Dr. Pope’s been telling me, you can communicate with paranatural entities and paranaturally affected people through her. It’s why you could hear the incantation in your head much stronger than you could hear it through your ears, and it’s probably why you could find Dylan through the Hiss’ interference. It’s not impossible to think that this is just some expansion of that.”
“But this does make me think, Rashida.” Emily says. “If Polaris can sense residual paranatural energies, and ‘look back in time’ after a paranatural event, this could be useful to the Bureau! Let’s suppose we have an accident with an Altered Item, or – or something goes wrong during an extradimensional expedition and our agents can’t tell us what happened. Polaris could.”
