Okay, Q4 was one of the moves I had expected, therefore I can-
NOT SO FAST!
First, some renewed doubt.

No tenuki, this local situation must be tended to.
P5 creates a wall to project influence along the right side.
The exchange for this seems to be 4th line territory along the bottom.
It threatens to link up with O3, for much grief.
O5 allows black to choose which side gets a wall.
This seems like a really bad idea. What if hailthorn chooses the actual correct side?
This shape is also already compromised by Q4.
P4 creates a wall to project influence along the bottom side, inducing some symmetry.
Black gets fourth-line territory on the right this way.
PROVERB BONUS: HANE AT THE HEAD OF TWO STONES!
Hamete bonus: if black plays badly enough, the corner can die.
This is around the time I make or have already made my worst mistake. It's a little frustrating to know this, but at least it makes me try harder.
I think the most reasonable thing here is to go for a wall projecting influence on the right side, because there's almost nothing else there.
