Chapter 168, New Docks
General job: Fold Joey / Pacey into the city and deepen Seth’s waterline.
Connects from 167: They have arrived at the city’s edge.
Core movement: Long ensemble meeting / joining. River, docks, and life on water receive a new heart layer. Toni holds Seth’s legacy from the defensive direction.
Must carry: Toni, Shelby, Nancy, Regina, Raven, Steve, dock team, trade / rescue route potential.
Must not do: Do not let Joey / Pacey replace Seth. They give the waterline new hands; Seth remains the reason the line has a soul.
Hands to next chapter: Water / dock life is stronger. The city is ready to expand investigation and gates.
