the penultimate scene is like, the most important in the whole story, but my brain is too fried to write it properly right now.

I can identify. I spent most of the day editing 1/3 of my writing and adding about 3K more words on top of the 40K I had. My brain just hit the wall so hard this evening I'm lucky I didn't deploy air bags.

I think I'm going to go soothe it with Hawaii 5-0 episodes and/or fic.
