The question is, which term does she mean?  And what happened to 
that scary statement from the publisher around New Year's that if 
she didn't turn in a manuscript like, yesterday, it wasn't going to 
appear at all this year?  Were they just trying to light a fire 
under her to get the rewrites on those two chapters finished?  Kind 
of a nasty technique, IMO.  (And causing needless heart palpitations 
in those of us waiting for book five.)
