Spoiler alert for Waterdeep: Dragon Heist for what I think will have a very simple answer...
I am sure that I must be missing something obvious here, thanks in advance internet sages for helping me out.
In Dragon Heist, how do the characters ever get to the villain chapters, chapters 5-8?
I understand the progression of chapters 1-4, but it seems that there's an episode by episode chase that happens in chapter 4 that culminates in the party finding the dragon vault.
So when, for example, would the party explore the Casselanter's Estate?
When do they level up to level 5?
I'm sure it's in there somewhere, but I keep reading over it, admittedly skimming some parts, and can't seem to put it together.
The party hits level five after dealing with the dragon vault. The "Boss Bases" chapter is there just for you as a DM to work with if the party wants to look into those places and do some brief adventuring there. They are not required for the main story proper.
The party might end up at the Casselanter Estate when there is a party going on. Maybe they want to investigate the Casselanters and want to sneak into the estate, or talk a city guard into taking them there to look around. Maybe they are invited by the Casselanters in order for the enemies to size up the the party or threaten them in some way.

If I remember correctly, if the party loses the stone in the chase scenes, then they’d have to be creative in getting it back. One possibility is heading into the bad guy’s lair and taking it back.

Thanks for your advice in advance.
