Stephen King was in the Intensive Care ward of Central Maine General, drifting in and out of consciousness. In Roland's world Susannah Dean travelled by train toward Fedic. Roland Deschain arrived at 2 HammarskjÖld Plaza in New York city and saw the Rose growing protected in its lobby. He then visited the offices of the Tet Corporation and met with Moses Carver, Marian Carver and Nancy Deepneau, who gave him more information about Stephen King and his own quest; returned Aunt Talitha's cross; and gave him a watch. After saying goodbye to Irene Tassenbaum he and Oy returned to Fedic by way of the Door at the Dixie Pig.
