hi ...                     \
a native English speaker would probly use the term "thickens" here
meaning that the plot becomes even more complicated ... as in
"watch out! anything can happen!"
the reason for this is because if a "plot" is "boring" and it simply
"continues" ... a reader might "switch channels" (stop following story-line)
whereas if it "thickens" it means "hold on to your seats 'cos you ain't
 seen nothin' yet!" :)

regards
