So, from all that, what I don't get is this phrase:
 * "...now that there's Mastermind, the 'release order' justification for putting it after TVM no longer holds…"

How does getting rid of an arbitrary and narrative-less rationale allow you to then say with greater certainty what the narrative order is? You're obviously leaning to putting MacQueen Master before the TVM. But why? And how do you explain going from Beevers to Macqueen to Roberts to Beevers again? Isn't it simpler just to say Ainley reverts to Beevers who then gets a Deathworm who then briefly inhabits Roberts, who then gets Roberts sucked out of him again and reverts to Beevers and then there's a MacQueen Master somewhere before Yana?

I mean, your way gives us another person between Ainley and Roberts, and I'm struggling to see what the narrative reason for that would be.
