First off, I apologize for not reading and reviewing sooner - your writing is so nuanced I wanted to reread the whole thing from the beginning before diving into the new chapter. (And it worked - I even picked up a few new things this time around!)

I found this chapter both intriguing and encouraging. Things are obviously still quite broken and far from being fixed, but there's a tiny little glimmer of hope and potential for things to improve. For the first time, Sunstreaker actually gets what he did wrong, and feels bad about it. Progress! And as an added bonus, Bumblebee now has a shot at becoming an unlikely ally - Hound seems pretty adamant about not forgiving Sunny out of respect for Bee, but if Bumblebee says he forgives him, well...

That of course is assuming Hound gets rescued from his current predicament! Poor Hound - stuck alone with only his thoughts to occupy him. Oddly enough, that may turn out to be a good thing. As for Sunny and Sides, I recall many moons ago we talked about damsels in distress and how Hound isn't one, so I suspect you won't go the obvious route and have them do the rescuing, but I don't doubt they'll be somehow involved. I could go on to speculate about what you might have planned, but I think I'd rather just wait and see.
