Great chapter. Real ballsy to take your main character out of the equation like that. It gave Harris senior a chance to finally turn sympathetic. The parent role really fits him well, though I think he might have to start going it single soon. Especially since I'm getting the vibe that the bad guy's were after Anya in this reality as well.
Also love how the gang has finally managed to get together without screaming at each other. It gave them a chance to get over themselves a bit and get a clearer picture.
