O'Hara is into the equipment lock first, as Mogensen and Furukawa secure her SAFER.

Moghbeli now also mounted on the wall. You can kind of see the cap that O'Hara mentioned was falling down over her eyes.

Furukawa is taking some photographs of O'Hara and her headband at Houston's request.

O'Hara is also out of her helmet and gloves, briefly contemplating the troublesome headband.
NASA TV coverage has wrapped up.

End of NASA TV coverage.
An incredible "step by step" coverage Yellowstone10, thank you !

US EVA-89: FWIW, Moghbeli reported earlier in the EVA that she could not find a tool bag she had tethered to a handrail; it was not mentioned again, so we don't know if she ever found it or if it somehow came loose and floated away
https://twitter.com/cbs_spacenews/status/1719770191565852735
We'll have to keep an eye out for any new 1998-067 objects on Celestrak. I don't believe they ever found Crew Lock Bag P, but whether it's still tethered somewhere out on the port truss or drifting off into space is yet to be determined, as far as I know.
Also, I flipped over to the Live Video from the ISS Feed to see if there were any noteworthy views - we did get this amusing reminder re: no up or down in space.

Do we know which EMUs were used? Haven't seen that reported in the thread
Thanks for the coverage, I was busy at work all day

I went hunting and found what I think is the last time the missing Crew Lock bag appears, at timestamp 4:03:45 in the livestream:
Moghbeli pushes it away from her as she goes to work on the CP8 camera, and it
looks like it's slowing down as if tethered offscreen, but it's not possible to see the actual tether point. We don't see a HECA view looking nadir towards where the bag would be until she's done with the camera work and heading back towards O'Hara around 4:50:00 into the stream, at which point she starts asking about where her bag went. As she searches, we eventually see a view of the entire handrail 3683 that runs vertically below the camera stanchion, which is where it would have been tethered
if it was tethered in that shot at 4:03:45.
Long story short, I think it drifted off.

... or I could have just checked NASA's ISS blog:
NASA astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli and Loral O’Hara concluded their spacewalk today at 2:47 p.m. EST after 6 hours and 42 minutes.
Moghbeli and O’Hara were able to complete one of the spacewalk’s two major objectives, replacing one of the 12 trundle bearing assemblies on the port solar alpha rotary joint, which allows the arrays to track the Sun and generate electricity to power the station. Mission Control told the station crew that the solar array is functioning well after the bearing replacement. Spacewalkers also removed a handling bar fixture to prepare for future installation of a roll-out solar array and properly configured a cable that was previously interfering with an external camera.
The astronauts had planned to remove and stow a communications electronics box called the Radio Frequency Group, but there was not enough time during the spacewalk to complete the work. The duo lifted some multilayer insulation to make a better assessment of how to approach the job before replacing the insulation and deferring the task to a future spacewalk.
During the activity, one tool bag was inadvertently lost. Flight controllers spotted the tool bag using external station cameras. The tools were not needed for the remainder of the spacewalk. Mission Control analyzed the bag’s trajectory and determined that risk of recontacting the station is low and that the onboard crew and space station are safe with no action required.

Jaws just checked in with CAPCOM with a "lost item report" that Satoshi while photographing Mt Fuji also photographed the lost tool bag. Jaws joked "was it close enough to grab with the arm". Seriously, it's obviously not separating from the ISS. The photo is guaranteed to show up on someone's social media. Edit--Satoshi just gave the ground the location to download the bag photos...

I'm pretty sure that 1998-067WB is the crew lock bag - note the origin code of USA vs. CIS for the other one. Celestrak has its first ping on WA on October 30, the same day as its first data point for the Parus cubesat, so I think whatever WA is was released during VKD-61. I know they jettisoned a couple towel bundles, but those aren't usually trackable as far as I know.
