Ep. 6: ...And Lose My Calm

In the second part of chapter 6, Harry descends into multiple black rages, Yudkowsky finally demonstrates a good example of the planning fallacy, and a plot twist is introduced. Anthea is dispirited, Jake and Elisa are unimpressed, and a dog makes a cameo.

This episode spoils a plot reveal from later in HPMoR.

Content warnings: this chapter mentions child abuse.
