The one, in which Valjean finds himself ensnared. But before that, he navigates instinctively through the fictional neighbourhood of the Petit-Picpus. Yes, this convent never existed, as hinted by Hugo: “Le Petit-Picpus, which, moreover, hardly ever had any existence.” Keep this in mind while delving into the convent digression. Hugo indulges in fantasy when describing the convent.
Meanwhile, Valjean's movements, in a desperate attempt to evade capture, echo his instinctive navigation through the sewers. There, as here, some paths lead to danger while others lead to freedom. Cosette's presence hinders him; though tired, she doesn't complain, simply walking slowly or sitting silently in his arms. He picks her up and sets her down as needed—a tender act from this caring old man (though it evokes the joke about a drug addict and a baby elephant.)
Then, Valjean realizes he's been trapped when he spots a black figure 'lying in wait for him' ahead. Javert is portrayed as devilishly predictive and knowledgeable about the labyrinth of Paris streets, somehow anticipating Valjean's route and positioning his men accordingly. Javert himself pursues Valjean, moving 'in the distant darkness.' Spooky! Valjean faces an impossible dilemma: 'to advance was to fall into this man’s hands; to retreat was to fling himself into Javert’s arms.' So, he simply raises his eyes towards heaven.

Some thoughts on Cosette's fashion! I think it's really interesting that Cosette is meant to a bright joyful dawn-like character but she always dresses in black. The first dress she receives when she leaves the Thenardiers is a small black mourning gown, and I wonder if that has something to do with it. Anyway...Goth Cosette?

The REAL reason Les Mis is a great book is because it has the duality of you being able to randomly open it to any page and find the most beautiful-soul-crushing-poetic-timeless-eye-opening sentence ever
but also Victor Hugo consciously chose to make every single character is the lamest most socially inept mess and awkward crazy dork you've ever seen and it's great.
