Out in October

James and Keno leave New York for Canada and then home in Oxford (see their Toronto apartment in the "movies" section), Olivia finishes up her honours paper and continues a hectic social life, Nick and Elena settle down in a decidedly unsettled Catalonia, and the oldies cruise along, catch up with friends and family, and in Stephen's case get definably older.
