The global corona is more like an (upside-down?) bowlful of jelly than it is like a house of cards. Here we see a flare/CME (red/green) launching an EUV wave that excites a "winking filament" some distance away. The CME core (blue) presumably contains one filament, but the remote cavity (purple strapping field) supports another (red/black) which can then bob up and down.
