Arc

Beatrice is in the Bahamas with someone else when the buildings fall (ch. 1); her father is a lawyer out of Yakima, which is why catnapping Donut would never have worked (ch. 8). Every fact Carl learns about the end of his relationship comes from the cat: the other guy who came over on Carl's gym days (ch. 10), the three at once, counting Angel's owner, a woman (ch. 20), the leggings pyramid scheme (ch. 32), the Gossip Girl rewatches (ch. 36), the 'Daddy tax' (ch. 45). Donut still loves her more than Carl and says so (ch. 34); Carl does not say back that Bea was giving her up. He taught himself to brush the cat because Bea showed him (ch. 41).
