Threats loom over the Festivale. Brother Craig has noticed Crawford's disappearance and orders the execution of twelve passengers. This character is definitely dangerous. His cynicism is troubling some of his followers. Mrs. Crawford contacts Harold, the ship's writer, who chronicles the events of the voyage. She's ready to reveal all she knows about the sect. While these tragic events are unfolding on board, a reaction is brewing in the United States. Little Joy has picked up and decoded Billy's message, and warned her father, who works for a major computer company. The first objective will be to identify cult members among the passenger list. In Paris, too, there's a lot of agitation.
