RATIONALE
Looking at the options:
School goes without saying.
So does Last Station.
===
Worst Wingwoman: Sandra Marlin is time sensitive.
We either take that this month, or odds diminish as other players take the field.Because Winter will be looking too, and Winter has a LOT of resources to do so, and a definite grudge. And Nemesis might be cleaning up its tracks as well.

Friend in Need: Talking To The Family
Rosie was pregnant in June, so she is either very late 2nd trimester, or early 3rd trimester. Its November now, so her due date is in January or very early Febuary. We need to get proactive about her family affairs, and like
@Yog said, addressing Mr and Mrs Wilson's issue is essentially practice for dealing with Charity. This is time-sensitive.
And to be clear, there are legitimate reasons for her mother and stepfather to have concerns or push for adoption.
Just financially speaking, labor and birth services for a baby(or babies, because I somehow have it in my head that Rosie has twins) is anywhere from ~9000 dollars at the very cheapest Chicago hospital to around 27000 dollars at the UChicago Medical System as of 2019.
And this is for an uncomplicated vaginal birth. Any complications whatsoever and bills climb.
Rosie is an 18-19 year old Hispanic kid with no job or inheritance, a history of drug use, who just aged out of her family health insurance. And this is pre-Obamacare.
Pregnancy is a pre-existing condition for health insurance. So is addiction.
And we're just talkimg initial birth here.
Not everything involved in raising them while still attempting to go to school or find a job as a single parent(and her mother almost certainly wants her to go to college)

-
The Seeker Sought is time-sensitive.
Having a cult of cannibalistic spellworkers camped out in a Chicago-area park and nature preserve, where humans frequent, is a recipe for disaster.
Wont be long before people start to vanish
Especially Talented people, because skinwalkers gain power from killing victims with magic. These folks have no self-control; they ate one shaman even when told not to. Same reason you dont let wild coyotes camp out next to your chicken farm.
Besides, the prisoner said they were called for war.
We probably want to forestall that.
-
Masterworks for Money because we need extra cash this month.
- We need to acquire raw materials before reaching out to Odin for his specs.
- Harry has already tried appealling to people's sense of civic duty about the naagloshii, and that hasnt helped so far. So Molly should try cold hard cash as an additional incentive.
- With Rosie, putting five figures in cash on the table to help with Rosie's medical bills go a fair way to getting her parents to take Molly seriously as a stakeholder in her future.
- Also, Last Station. Our friendly elemental wants a train, so we are probably going to need raw materials to build one
