Missing Plot Points

The sound you hear is me pulling my hair out. I have just discovered that I missed two steps in the 12-point plot. I was scrolling down and highlighting each of the steps, just because it is easier to do banal things like, highlighting all the plot points rather than writing that last chapter, when I discovered I had a huge block of my favorite chart without any plot points.

That doesn’t seem right?
Scroll up, scroll down, and, sure enough, right between 5. Protagonist engages, and 8. Point of no return-even, Is—nothing. Well, not quite. There are lots of scenes there but no plot point. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Stay tuned to see if the plot points fit without rewriting.
