 Okay, so the plot points are, in short, Jodi got a tip. She made phone calls. Many people hadn't seen anything. Then she reached someone who had heard about the upside-down flag. And then later, she connected with someone who had a photo of the flag. This, then this, a small problem, then this, and so on. And that's the narrative structure Ira talks about. So Michael and Jodi have done their job. They started the ball rolling with plot. Now comes the broken narrative part of the structure.
