Quinones Hernandez, who run a honeymooners-only hotel that Saturn/Plasciencia and Cameroon fraudulently check into; and Ralph and Elisa Landin, who are financially supporting the writing of the novel, even though Saturn/Plasciencia uses much of the money for non-authorial expenses. The section ends with two chapters related to Cameroon and Liz: first, it is revealed that Cameroon has since left Saturn/Plasciencia because of his many lies, such as falsifying Rita Hayworth's biography; second, Liz writes a chapter pointing out that the novel is a public discourse and therefore an unfair site for Saturn/Plasciencia to take out his anger on her, such as by using the false biography of Rita Hayworth as a metaphor for their failed relationship.

Federico de la Fe and Froggy realize that a better way to fight Saturn is not to shield their thoughts but to think and speak openly, thus literally crowding Saturn to the margins with their own words; at this section, the pages become crowded with characters narrating, and Saturn's passages shrink to just a corner of the page. Eventually, the sky above the town starts to crumble, and the EMF think they have succeeded. Apolonio's becomes caretaker for the orphaned Baby Nostradamus, his shop is raided by the church, and he is
