At the end of chapter 2 it switched the order of events, with Aubrey throwing away the photo album before the church scene, which I think is a change for the worse.

Instead of them trying to tell Kim and Vance to tell them where Aubrey is, prompting them to challenge them to a fight for the info, Sunny helps Kel set up a kick shot with an empty soda can that he was try...
