Rayford and Chloe sat in silence before their new television, taken with the fresh face and encouraging ideas of Nicolae Carpathia. “What a guy!” Chloe said at last.
Compliment time! This is a good scene transition. End a scene with one set of characters watching a television broadcast, then start the next scene with the other set of characters finishing the same broadcast. It’s a very cinematic technique (I think the same edit in film is called a “visual echo,” but I could be wrong), and it provides better connective tissue between two disparate scenes in the same chapter.
