No spoiler candidates nominated in this, perhaps final, vote for speaker.

4 "other votes" (plus 1 "present" so far, and we're in the S's.

This is a nail-biter.

Presumably trying to get either Gatez or Boebert to change their votes from Present to McCarthy.

The scene at the teller's table to change votes looks like the betting window at a racetrack right before post time.

Adjournment vote seems to have failed, and McCarthy abruptly changed his vote to ensure that. So something changed. On to the next round.
