After the half hey and swing, dancers should end up directly across from another pair of dancers that includes their shadow. \n\nAfter the California twirl, ones will be facing their partner, but because of the mechanics of the diagonal hey, twos will be facing a *second shadow* (hence the unbalanced roll away in B2).\n\nAs Will Mentor (I believe) says, \"there are end effects - enjoy them.\" At the top of the set after the A2 swing you should end up with a hands 3 containing one second robin. At the bottom you'll have a couple out with a hands 3 above them following the A2 swing. This hands 3 contains an unpaired first lark.\n\nA more in-depth explanation of where everyone ends up throughout -\nThe hey for three at the top starts with robin 1 and robin 2 passing right. Similar to Are You 'Most Done the hey squares the set as it happens and the dancers should end up proper and in a hands 4 with robin 2 above robin 1. \n\nThe ones then pull by right to face their first corner, as though they were starting contra corners, but instead do a half hey for 4 on the right diagonal, with the two twos trading which end of the diagonal they're on. This hey is with the original lark 2 (we'll call them Bob Isaacs), but the NEXT robin 2 (let's call them Susan Michaels).\n\nThe funky part about the active/inactive diagonal hey is that it splits twos further than it splits the ones, so the lark ends up swinging their next neighbor (Susan) close-to-across from where the lark started the dance and the robin ends up swinging their original neighbor (Bob) one couple down from their partner (the swing ends with squared sets, improper). The twos, however, end two minor sets away from each other. \n\nThe B1 reunites the active couple after the California twirl, but the twos are still one minor set distant, so they're facing a shadow (this is Bob and Susan, Bob below). The roll away resyncs partners, but then the swing offsets the twos from the squared set, since the roll-away would, normally, progress dancers along to a new minor set. \n\nFollowing the swing, the hey for 3 starts again with the first robin passing Susan (whom the first lark just swung), while the first robin identifies her new neighbor (let's call them Will Mentor) straight(ish) across from their partner.
