@Duckey1 You're right that the school season is wrapping up (just over two weeks to go!), and I'm participating in July's Camp NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) to get a lot of work done on the finale. If I finish the draft during the summer, then a pre-Christmas release is the plan. But I can't guarantee that. Follow me on Twitter @PeteTarsi because I'll be giving writing updates there in July.
As for reactivating the tail, Marina's was wearing her own tail when it reactivated at the end of "Flipping the Scales". Something else happened then to trip it.
Hmmm...is that a possible reason why part three is called "Tripping the Scales"?
