Should I SPLIT Chapter 6?

 Hello all of my readers and friends! 

I am at a bit of an impasse in my writing at the moment. I'm currently in the middle of writing Chapter 6 in which I introduce quite a few characters--Julius (the boy who runs errands and delivers packages for Michael), Father Laramie, the priest at the only church on Juniper Island and The Jackson Nieces--Jessilynn, Cornelia, Thomasina and Theodosia. I also wanted to put more of a spotlight on the apparent animosity between Michael Jackson and his nephew TJ. 



It's already been established that the two do not really get along at all, but Michael tolerates him because he values his relationship with his great-niece Jessilynn. 

In a previous chapter it's clear TJ both, can tell Michael is attracted to new maid Odette, while he kind of has a liking for her himself, which infuriates Michael. Keep in mind, TJ is already married and has a mistress. (Maybe more than one, I haven't decided yet) 

TJ is a terrible flirt and I wanted to play into that in Chapter 6. I just don't want the chapter to drag on for too long cause I'm planning for him to do something to upset Michael and Taj and Taryll simultaneously. 

So what do you think? 

I'm also racing against time because it's October 18 and on October 30, I'm flying from Houston to Los Angeles for a Michael Jackson themed event and maybe wanted to have SOMETHING up before I left. Cause I'm going to be chasing Jacksons around SoCal for 5 days.
